"These are some of the JSS3 students of Abeokuta Grammar School, Idi-Aba queuing and struggling at a Business Centre - Computer centre close to the school on Thursday 28/Friday 29, 2016 in order to do Fine Art CA given to them by their teacher. The assignment is this, students were asked to write their names in 5 different fonts and do a print out."

"If you cares to know these students at the beginning of the term paid N3000 for PTA and computer."

"Where are the computers procure by the state government?"

"Why can't they allow these students to have access to computers?"

"Students pay between N80 and N100 for each print out.
Education is free?"

- A concerned parent.

My take:

Amosun Pride himself as the only governor who have spent most on education in our history. In 2015 budget, Amosun claimed to have spent N21billion on education; equipped schools with modern laboratories equipment, furnitures and computers; built new model schools with no completion date for them

He now told the parents to pay just "little change" for their children to use the facilities.

But everyone in Ogun knows our public schools have no modern facilities as claimed by Amosun.

Instead of the governor to face this important sector and save us a future army of uneducated youth, he was heard to be so angry that those he sent after Badero were not doing enough.

Yes Amosun was angry this morning after reading what I wrote about the SSS office in Abeokuta.

I say this with all sense of sincerity, paying people to go after those exposing your government instead of you doing the right thing will not move Ogun state forward.

I heard those with him this morning were using the faceoff I had with that "government pikin" 2 days ago as a reference point of how much they are trying to contain and curtail Badero.

What they failed to tell the governor is that they are not even 1000 miles near to me, talk less of even making a statement towards me.

You took N3000 as PTA and computer fee, but can't provide a single computer plus printer for the children?

And they'd say I talk too much?

Is this not much?
