The exchange rate at that time was $1= 64k, £1= 84kobo by the way our currency was pounds and shillings then ,she is an attention seeker . From 1969 to early '70s when the money will be of value to the school she did not pay, what is the moral value here, she should have pay back in thousands of naira now .

That's nice of her...
What is nice?
She is a crook!
If she was indeed honest she would have taken into consideration, inflation, loss of revenue, demurage and intrest! That amount shouldn't be less than 1 million today!
Like i said earlier, that old woman is a crook!!!

Rather, your mum is a very wicked woman. Do you know the value of that money today? She is a cheat. You should be ashamed of bringing this stuff on-line.
Re: Nigerian Mum Pays N1.58k School Fees She Owed In 1969, Principal Writes Letter by juman(m): 1:13pm On Jun 02, 2021
What is the meaning of N1.58k.
I read it so many times.

She paid one naira fifty eight kobo
If so she'd nothing special.
Infact, shame on her.

The naira value has changed.

Very dishonest.

How can you pay same amount?

The amount you buy rice then is what you buy now?


She ought to have valued what the money could buy then equivalent to what it could this time and pay. Also pay the DELAY.


With that we can praise her.

- A Nigerian mother, Grace Egbinola, paid the school fees she was owing in 1969 which was the sum of N1 and 58 kobo
- Sharing the letter with Legit.ng, her daughter, Toyin Egbinola, said that her mother taught them the value of honesty
- The woman kept the receipt of her debt for decades before she finally paid it off in 2020


A Nigerian woman, Grace Egbinola, has demonstrated a great virtue as she fulfilled a promise she made many decades ago. In a message sent to Legit.ng by Grace's daughter, Toyin Egbinola, it was revealed that the 73-year-old woman finished from St Loius Secondary school on December 9, 1969. Ever since she got the receipt of her debt in 1975, the woman held onto it with the strong vow that she would repay it someday.

On Monday, December 14, 2020, the woman paid the debt which was the sum of N1.58k. The woman’s child said she is proud that her mum never cheated the system.

A good name is better than gold
Though the woman is not rich, the child stated that she taught her children the value of honesty.


A part of Grace's principal's letter to her reads:

You are truly a Saint Louis trained person to be keeping a paper that was issued since 1975 and sent your son up to clear a debt that is as little as N1.58k in the year 2020 gives me hope that there are good people in this country who have not become rotting with greed.”

Toyin also said that her mum would really love it if she could reconnect with some of her old secondary school classmates.

If She was honest as people here concerned deemed it...She should have paid the true value.
#1.58k of 1969 should be about #500k in Buhari's Administration.

You ripped off the school madam... Go back and do proper restitution!!

Re: Nigerian Mum Pays N1.58k School Fees She Owed In 1969, Principal Writes Letter by Gagare1(m): 1:31pm On Jun 02, 2021
My exact thought. She should pay the current equivalent of that money using a simple interest calculation for the number of years she owed. As far as I am concerned she is still owing that school.

What's the value of that debt today?
She really no get shame to come out in the public after she don useless the money for the school.

Lol you are funny o, you are praising her while insulting other debtors . Did it occur to you that from 1969 to 2021 is 52 years ? How can someone owe that amount for that long ? And what is the essence of this payment how, when she isn't paying accumulated interest ? The money is as good as useless
