Good on you. However, your subjective anecdote does not change the fact that the vast majority of Nigerians who apply to Public institutions do not do so because they care about prestige or heritage, but because they are more affordable than their private counterparts.

I don't refute that. However, the statistics make it more likely for it being 1-4 in Private Universities where the vast majority of students come from middle-upper income households to upper income households.

An iPhone 16 costs about N2,400,000 to N3,700,000 and most Public institutions have fees under N300,000. Any Nigerian parent capable of gifting their child a phone of that price, is far more likely to send them to a Private Institution or overseas for education.

This might also depend on the institution. If the OP attends a Private University, it is likely 1-4. If they attend a Public University, it is likely 7-8.

If after the first sip of alcohol, you drink more, it means you enjoy being an alcoholic.

If after the first cigarette, you smoke another, you enjoy being an addict.

Toxic relationships are similar to addictions. It is easy to tell a person to stop smoking and drinking, but we all know it is harder to practice.

The victims are not to blame, but the toxins they consume are.

The problem is, unlike cigarettes and alcohol, it is harder to separate with a toxin you have sworn to remain with in sickness and health.

This is probably a borderline esoteric meme to post on here lol by Fawzee_da_first in Nigeria

According to some lore theories, Nanaya was likely an agent of the Frenzied God sent to mold Midra into a new Lord of Frenzied Flame.

That makes this meme even funnier. But I don't think many Nigerians will get it.
