Shettima, Nigeria’s Vice President, sparked outrage when he pledged 25 million naira to indigent female students and asked men to go and hustle for their own school fees.

The Nigerian politician and philanthropist was attending a school’s convocation lecture.

During his speech to the students and graduates, he announced a donation of 25 million naira. Kashima stated that the funds are intended to be used to pay the school fees of impoverished female students.

Shettima made the following remarks at the event:

“The men, I am just like you. You can struggle and pay your school fees.”

The world is rigged against men, females are considered first in any none gender based top jobs, men wouldn’t help men if they ain’t related by blood. The only thing remaining in the job hunt is the despicable jobs that no human should be doing and they’ll be forcing that on graduates and the irony is, no woman wants to be with a struggling man. Tell me why these people won’t do what it takes to eat even if it’s legal/illegal 🤷🏽‍♂️”
