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.”
