An abroad-based Nigerian pilot, Captain Arinze Odira Onyiliofor laments after being slammed with $1950 monthly daycare, a rough estimate of N1.3M. The pilot took to his Twitter page to bemoan the cost of putting his under-5 years old daughter in school in a Western country.

He, however, suggested the alternative of home-schooling his daughter until she is above 5 years old with the help of his mother. In Arinze’s words; “My daughter’s daycare tuition is going to be $1950 per month. I’ve just instructed my mum, her grandmother, to pack her bags and get ready to travel. She was a teacher before retiring. She is about to come out of retirement. My daughter should get ready to be home-schooled till she is 5. I didn’t kill my parents. My daughter is not going to kill me.”

We simply asked my mother in law, a retired English PhD, to help with the kids. She teaches them and has been a blessing to us. Best decision we ever made for our kids as working parents in USA.” @jerrybest7 stated: “Bro that’s normal na… That ain’t no big thing ..
