University chapel, a mother of one of the
graduands, stormed out of the hall with some
other women trying to pacify her. An eye witness at the scene sent in this
report thus:- “She was very angry, the other
women were trying to pacify her.
She was saying ”Upon all the money
we spent, all he could finish with was
a 2:1, he must not return to the
house. I am taking back all the food i brought, imagine, he was supposed
to finish with a first class. Those
ones that finished with first class, do
they have two heads? He must not
return home o, he should better just
go and eat that result, imagine, all the money we spent from when he
started in this school…” the other
women tried pacifying her and led
her away to avoid a scene as
onlookers were already gathering to
know what was going on. “ Source:- Kemi Filani’s Blog
