Why Ghana? 120million to school in ordinary Ghana? U must be kidding

Is this a april fool or what? How much is shell company if they want to sell it? If shell can be giving #120000000 to 1person every year how much are they making yearly won't they pay tax, and other things, U better check the source and correct the mistakes.

If this is true and u are the boy won't you tell them to be paying the #120million to your account and that you are no longer going to school again that you want to start your own business and be going for part-time or distance learning programme.
