A father voiced frustration on social media after his kids returned from a school graduation ceremony with barely any food, despite him paying twelve thousand naira for the celebration.
He explained that the fee covered two children, yet they came back with just two plates of rice, a tiny piece of meat, and no drinks or souvenirs.
He felt the portion and quality did not match the amount paid, prompting him to share his experience online.
Concerns About Value for Money
He remarked, “This meat isn’t even worth ₦100.” He added that he had anticipated a better spread for the children after spending what he deemed a considerable sum on the party.
He also pointed out that no beverages or gifts were included in what the kids brought home.
His post quickly drew attention, with many parents discussing the rising costs of school events and questioning whether families receive fair value for their contributions.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
The post sparked varied reactions online; some users sympathized with the father, agreeing that school celebrations have grown excessively costly.
Others countered that graduation fees often cover venue décor, entertainment, logistics, and other expenses beyond the food served to students.
The conversation continues across platforms, with many parents urging schools to be more transparent about how graduation fees are allocated and spent.
