A grandmother has sparked an emotional wave online after reportedly showing up at her grandkids’ school with six live chickens as an alternative form of payment for their school fees following their dismissal due to non-payment.
This touching story was shared via a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user @PH_Socials, who included three photographs showing the elderly woman and the chickens she brought along.
Grandmother shows up with 6 chickens to pay grandkids’ school fees.
According to the details shared in the post, the woman, who is believed to be the children’s grandmother, had accompanied them back to the school premises with the hope that the chickens could be accepted in lieu of cash for the outstanding educational fees. This action was apparently born out of a lack of financial means to cover the charges in the traditional way.
The images attached to the post show the woman sitting patiently while a man appears to be inspecting the live chickens she brought. The gesture, though unconventional, was a testament to the lengths to which she was willing to go to ensure the education of her grandchildren.
Her action generated widespread reactions on social media, with users expressing admiration, sympathy, and concern over the situation.
See some reactions below:
@DeXChad_: “My only issue now is the moment you just say how can we get to this woman and pay for her grandchildren’s school fees. You’ll see one otondo would just change their Twitter name to ‘Grandma with 2Kids that brought 6 chickens’.”
@anna_chichii: “They better collect, you know how much a chicken cost now.”
@nkrabea_kwame: “A blessed Country like Nigeria? With all the resources? It’s a shame. Kudos to the Grandma.”
@maiwadaSNasir: “We need to find this child and mobilize something, I’m only seeing funny replies but this is a serious matter to look into. What if she’s out of chickens to trade, who will pay the next school fees? Where are the big social media influencers — this is an opportunity to help Mama.”
@P_antidote: “Fair trade if you ask me, and the chickens are productive… That’s a super deal.”
