NIGERIAN' KING BUILT SCHOOL WITH NO SCHOOL FEES,FREE HOSTEL, FREE FOOD AND EVEN TEACHES THERE:

 

Nigerian King Built School with No School Fees, Free Hostel, Free Food, and Even Teaches There


At Abolarin College in Oke-Ila, Osun State, the students there pay NO school fees; enjoy free hostel, free food, free internet, free uniform, free laptop for every child, and 24 hours power supply; and all these expenses are paid by the town’s king. What is the most shocking is that the king teaches too in the school.

What makes this school remarkable is that one major criteria for getting admitted in is being poor. If your parents are rich, you cannot get admission. Unlike other schools, Abolarin College wants poor kids who are very brilliant. If you are poor but brilliant, the king will admit you!

The king believes poor brilliant kids should also be given an equal opportunity to become something in life- so that the future does not belong only to those born with silver spoons in their mouth. The king himself has a law degree and masters in law- and he also teaches in the school.

From what we gathered, the king has only one wife. Obviously, he is not using the money of the kingdom to accumulate wives or properties; instead he is investing it in the education of future leaders while he aims to reduce the burden of illiteracy in the society. For him, it doesn’t matter the religion, it is not about nepotism, neither is it restricted to Yoruba children nor only children from Oke Ila; it is about any less privileged child anywhere who is willing to be educated. That is why the only criteria for admission is poverty and brilliance.

Many of those kids previously hawked pepper, sachet water, fruits etc. Some came from farms where all they did was work under the hot sun weeding and planting. Many are orphans, hawkers, child labourers, delinquents, children of petty traders, but now they have hope, and not just hope, a future.

The Alaafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ife may have more money than this king, but in years to come, King Abolarin's impact will take him to the echelons of greatness. What if we also have many Northern Sultans and Emir engaging in this? All across history, change begins with just a man! Dare to live differently, making an impact. It is what we do with money and our other resources that counts, for money has no value in itself!

This man is planting seeds that will blossom in the future. In the nearest years, that town will be filled with successful and accomplished people. I love this. God bless the King. This is one man that fully has my respect. We should celebrate such a Nigerian! This king is a legend and posterity will never forget him.

~BIRTHDAY: HON. HARUNA IDOKO MUSA AS THE SHINING STAR THAT WAS LONG SET ON THE SKY OF THE EASTERN KOGI STATE BY GOD:

        HON. HARUNA IDOKO MUSA, THE S.A ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.      One positive thing that has happened to kogi state precisely Idah LGA was the birth of a man whose lifestyle from day one is filled with democratic and political charismatic, leadership and bridge building orientations.  He wished greatness for others before bringing himself into equations on most occasions.   I have discovered him through my discussions and interactions with him to be a man of few words with worthy and simple principles, values and understandings that have stood the test of time.    He lacks ounce of pride, pumposity and negative charisma in his life. These are things that have endeared him to the most people.     Hon. Haruna Idoko Musa also known as (HIM) to most people. He has transcended offices in the political administrations of Idah LGA at different times where forayed as Honourable Supervisor, Councillor, Caretaker Chairman, Exe...
