- 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.

1.58 milli abi how much una call am again

1.58 Million Naira or 1.58 Million Kobo?



Lol

That's nice of her...

Me that is about going back to collect my school fees

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.

She paid just the amount? Considering how useless the currency is...I believe she shouldn't be paying that exact value

Nice one mummy, unlike our debtors today that keep changing contacts, road when they see you, but will cry like a crocodile while begging

You mean she didn't have the money since 1975?

except she forgot,the sincerity is questionable.

very wicked woman. she could pay the money's worth in 2021. calculate for that freaking inflation.

Mama scam school dey claim uprightness.

Noted!!!

kobo or naira

bbpin)

Was inflation factored in?

If you didn't adjust the value to inflation, you're not as honest as you think ma.

You don yeye the money for them.

Really? Not so impressed. If she really wants to show honesty, I think she should have factored in inflation and pay the equivalent sum in today's naira value.

Proud of what..
Someone should please tell that woman that the value of the money she owes now is in five figures

She cheat the school. They should have considered inflation and the value of Naira then before showering praises on her.

They ought to take into account the current value and power of the Naira
Appears to be for the fun of it

I'll pay mine also some other day,buh i no get receipt

Technically, she ain't a cheat; morally, she is. So all the talk about honesty and uprightness falls to the ground at that point.

But, come to think of it, this is a reflection of how bad our country has regressed. And all because of poor leadership!

This is the most dubious form of being honest and morally upright I've seen all my life. Mama scam school

Mama D Mama

maybe she did that we aren't too sure to conclude yet...

Very wicked woman
What exactly us trying to prove? This is a dishonesty in highest form. A very honest person should have taken into consideration the inflationary differences and pay up according. N1 in 1970's is worth N20k today

she should have paid at least 15,000 which is the approximate value of that money after inflation since 1969.
