See painful photo of an old University of Ibadan meal voucher







This was back in the days when a meal cost as low as fifty kobo (50k). Meals in Nigerian universities were heavily subsidised by the government, so students, both rich and poor had access to at least one free meal daily.

In addition, the students were also given fruits and vegetables to go with the meal. Balanced diet and all that.

Seeing this is very painful. What happened to this great country?
