Reacting to the crowdfunding pleas from the undergraduates, social media users have expressed shocked at the declining state of Nigeria's economy and the cost of acquiring an education. Netizens further observed that prior to the current administration and economic hardship, obtaining placements in federal higher institutions was a very competitive feat as many parents found the fees of federal universities affordable as opposed to state and privately owned universities and higher colleges of learning. Netizens have also taken to calling out the Vice-chancellor and other administrators of The University of Ibadan over the unusual crowdfunding exercise being done by the university's students.
