I just went through the comments and quotes on Oladepo Caleb Okugbenga's post. He credited NELFUND for supporting him in becoming the Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, but the dishonesty in some replies is alarming. You can criticize the Tinubu government for many things, some of it valid, but when it comes to NELFUND, let us be honest. It is a lifesaver. I am a 500-level medical student at UI. I have been on NELFUND for three consecutive years. They recently paid my school fees and the fees of thousands of UI students this session. That is not a rumor. That is real. NELFUND currently supports students with full academic fee payment sent directly to the school and a monthly upkeep allowance of twenty thousand naira paid directly to the student. Now let me address the common lies people spread. Some say it is a loan, so it is not helpful. Yes, it is a loan, but it is interest-free. Tell me one loan app in Nigeria that gives you zero interest. Others say the repayment is a burden. But repayment only starts after you have graduated, finished NYSC, and found a job. If you are unemployed, you pay nothing. If you lose your job, the payments stop automatically. That is not a burden. That is safety. Some people claim NELFUND has no impact on students. That is simply false. I am an admin in a group helping students apply successfully. Many higher institutions and scholarship bodies now advise students to take advantage of this loan so they can use their own money for other needs that bring financial stability. Another lie is that the government made education expensive just to introduce the loan. Federal schools are still highly subsidized. We all know what our mates in private schools pay per session, millions of naira. Our fees, even after adjustments, are a fraction of that. Most of the people throwing shade at NELFUND are not even in school anymore. They have no idea how the scheme operates today. Let me be clear. I am not saying we should stop scrutinizing government spending. We absolutely should. But when a good initiative works, we must have the maturity to acknowledge it. NELFUND is keeping real students in school. That is a fact. Let us not allow dishonesty to rob others of this opportunity.

We have now sold 15 chess sets in less than an hour. If we make it to 30 in the next one hour. I will donate a million naira to support a struggling small business here on X. It is possible to do great things from a small place❤️🇳🇬

He used their engagement to trend. He jumped on the trend to sell his chessboards. Elon will still pay him for the engagement. Who says he is not the chess master?

Funny thing is despite all the internet chaos, no Nigerian has actually come forward with a picture of them playing chess at the louvre. It was a cheeky caption same as this one I posted 4 years ago. So much ado about nothing.
