22-year-old Student Spends ₦18million Education Fund On Clothes, Trip To Europe; Blames Parents

A 22-year-old university student who spent her eighteen million naira (₦18,000,000) education fund on clothes and a trip to Europe has blamed her parents for not teaching her about budgeting.

The student, identified simply as Kim, said she would not have squandered the £58,000 (about ₦17,949,368.17), left for her by her grandparents, if her parents had educated her.

Speaking on a radio show The Bert Show based in Atlanta, Georgia, Kim said her parents are entirely to blame for her profligacy.

“Maybe they should have taught me how to budget a little more carefully or something,” – Kim said.

Now, Kim needs £13,000 (about ₦4,023,134) to complete her studies and she says her father is being a ‘jerk about it’ after refusing to help her out.

When one of the radio hosts told her that her parents may not have the money, Kim said they should have enough money to help her.

“They are not being honest with me, saying they don’t have money because my dad has worked for, like, a million years and they have a retirement account,” – she added.

She also refused to consider working because “working part-time could have such a negative effect on my grades – and as a person.”
