Abolarin College Oke-Ila Osun Where Everything Is Free, King Teaches There! by sinkhole(op): 7:09am On Jun 02, 2020
Do you know this school? Abolarin College in Oke-ila, Osun State.

NO school fees
Free hostel
Free food
Free internet
Free uniform
Free laptop for every child
24/7 Power supply

ALL paid by the town’s king. The king teaches too in the school.

We should celebrate such a nigerian!

What makes this school remarkable is that one major criteria for getting in is being poor. If your parents are rich, you cannot get admission.

Unlike other schools, Abolarin College wants poor kids who are very brilliant.

If you are poor but brilliant. The king will admit you!

It doesn’t matter the religion. It is not about nepotism, neither is it restricted to Yoruba children nor children from Oke ila.

It is about any less privileged child anywhere who is willing to be educated.

That is why the only criteria for admission is poverty and brilliance.

Free Education: Abolarin College Where Criteria for Admission is Poverty

Indigent students from Oke-Ila, Osun State, who desire quality education can now heave a sigh of relief, as the monarch of the area, Oba Adedokun Abolarin is building a solid educational foundation for youths within the town and beyond with the establishment of Abolarin College at Oke-Ila Orangun, where over 50 students are already studying and acquiring creative knowledge free of charge with three square meals daily.

The unique feature of the college is that the monarch designed it mainly for the sons of poor people in the society and has vowed not to bring in the children of the wealthy people because he observed that the children of the rich would destroy the legacy in all ramifications.

Another interesting aspect of the college is that the monarch did not limit the intake to his community, but extended it to every Nigerian that from a poor homewithin and outside the country.

The traditional ruler pointed out that youths are the leaders of tomorrow and they have their own lives to live and they can contribute to the socio, economic, political and religious development of their respective communities if they are educated at the right time.

The students are also taught handcraft daily, which has made them creative; this is done in collaboration with the Centre for Transformation and Empowerment Initiative, headed by Mrs. Lola Wey, the Executive Director.

My own king lives in London..most of Nigerian kings are just occupying offices for the financial gains... imagine the king of a small town having a range rover, g wagon and Benz in his compound all from public funds. All they do is travel, marry wives and luck asses of politicians

Before the inception of sense in this our obodo Naija, the yorubas have always realized the potential of proper education for the next generation.
This sort of news is a breath of fresh air in a country filled with self serving interests and contract begging monarchs!
This king will certainly live forever in these people’s hearts and minds whether u wish him long life or not!

Ah say ah go add this man to my hall of fame, one aboki say no make ah add bubu instead. Na d matta we dey settle since morning bi that! grin

This what we are talking about, Nigerians should help themselves and not hope or wait for one furcking & nonchalant government to come to their aid...
By the way,
Kaaabiyesi ooo

That's good.

Meanwhile,

Do you have need for mobility in Lagos, to execute projects that would require a run-around town, with multiple stopovers, and for extended hours? If so, then please allow me be your Chauffeur, so you focus on what's important, while being driven around in Air-conditioned comfort. You can have me for 12 hours, or other flexible arrangements depending on your need.

I am also available for deliveries, as needed by Small businesses. 07066880314 is the number to call or whatsApp. I will always be at your service.

Thank you.
