If Your Parents Are Civil Servant And You Schooled In The Uk, You Are A Product Of Corruption- Twitterati Says, Nigerians Reacts

Written By Oshiobugie Omo-Ikirodah

A provocative statement made by a Twitter user identified as Niyi has sparked a storm of reactions on social media. The user stated, “daddy and mummy are civil servants but you schooled in the UK. you are product of corruption.” This claim has ignited a heated discussion among Nigerians on Twitter.

The Twitter user’s argument seems to hinge on the premise that civil servants’ salaries in Nigeria are generally insufficient to afford the high costs associated with education in the UK. Consequently, the user implies that such educational opportunities could only have been funded through corrupt means.

As expected, this viewpoint elicited mixed reactions. Some individuals agreed with the user’s statement, pointing out that corruption is a deep-rooted issue in Nigeria and that such instances of disparity often indicate underlying corrupt practices. CONTINUE READING

However, others vehemently disagreed, noting that it is both unfair and overly simplistic to label all such situations as corruption. They argued that there are civil servants who have other sources of income or who have saved over the years to afford such educational opportunities for their children.

Some users also highlighted scholarships, grants, and loan opportunities available for international students in the UK, stating that these resources could feasibly allow a civil servant’s child to study in the UK.
