I lied that we were asked to pay our school fees ahead of the new semester. I collected the money but didn't pay the fees and couldn't raise it to pay up.

Finally I had to come clean.


NB: there's something about school fees, even if you spend 1k out of it, it's always difficult to raise it back.

I cant really remember anyone i used on my dad but i remembered the one our landlord's son used on his father when i was in still in secondary school. The dude just gained admission then. There was a biology book authored by stone and cozen. Dude went and told his dad that he wants to buy two books one named stone and the other named cozen. ( in reality it is just one single text) but he collected double fund for an imaginary book.

Anyway i scammed my aunty then that i had accomodation problem and will be thrown out of my hostel. Sist sent 25k(big sum then) and i use the money arrange my house. How she didnt confirm from my parents still baffles me. I bought a small 14 inch trinitron Sony TV and those small VCD players with speaker at the side and plenty disco lights in the front. grin(those were the days of vcd players and nokia 3310)
I was seen as a big boy then in my lodge as my house was pimped over night with luxury now those things are trash

Chai.

Bros you can lie for afrika!!!

In case you don't know, this Stone and Cozen story has been in existence even before your father was born...

I pray my kids don't take after me in this aspect, cos I was a real crook in school,inflated everything from house rent to school fees,departmental fees,faculty fees,etc. My dad is a very busy man ,he works outside the country so he never asked for prove of payment, I made over 300k every semester from that alone, the painful part is that it's not like he was very rich,he just cared.

lol I will back... OK now am back... in may case ehh hmmm, make nobody judge me cha.... OK in my college of education days eh I was so good with the computer that I normally had 2 receipts one for my father the other one myself.... the one for my father was as usually padded and inflated.... why the one for me was the actual amount paid.... as for text books that was normal cutting, I added courses I wasn't even doing and as usually it was padded and inflated too.

But in my university days I turned a new leaf as I already had a job and I was in 80% in charge of my fees school matters.

Currently am married and have a son and I always pray that he never gets involve in half what his father did back on the days. Amen...

Keep the comments rolling in. On behalf of the PCRN, I know that several of the things we'll be reading are made up just for nairalanding. Nevertheless, we don't really care. We are glad to readd your comments and criticize and debunk when necessary.

Oya let's roll!!


And for the records, I had no reason to scam my parents 'cos I got almost everything that I asked from them especially my dad. That's because I never asked unnecessarily though. I only asked when I needed it cos there was always enough pocket money allowance and the girls in school were nice and free with money. It wasn't entirely free though cos I always taught them mathematics.

You are very correct.
It's as if the school fee itself has a bad spirit of its own.
Most times you can't pay back till it's time for your clearance after graduating when you are left with no choice than to come clean or find another very creative lie to tell.

During our undergraduate days, we faced a lot of challenges ranging from school fee, accommodation fee, feeding allowance and money to buy handouts.

This in turn do frustrate our parents making most of them not to pick our calls, some students engage themselves in side hustles while the ones from very rich home have no issues during their stay. Schooling in Nigeria is a rigorous exercise....

During my undergraduate days in one of the state polytechnic, there was a day i called my dad actually, i don't want to ask him money for handouts. So I initiated a plan, I told him a friend of mine just lost his father, he wants to travel to Lagos and he needs money. My father show some condolence for the faked death and he sent 3k to me, when i got to my friends house he was happy i got the money from my dad, and he called my friend who confirmed the death......

Four months later, it was the incidence of the departmental ID cards, I scammed my dad for the second time, ever since then my conscience have been pricking me but I'm still good with it.

You are free to share yours

You are lucky to have parents who even have to give.

I had to struggle my way through school myself from selling Ice block at Alaba market to acting as a house agent for students to being a Snooker game Board man to selling none tested tv and so on.

So I no even see money collect for genuine reasons howbeit made up stories Lol!
