"I became aware of the corrupt practices associated with Course Notes about eight years after returning to Nigeria with the full intention of staying here – irrespective of the difficulties compared to the easy life in the United States. And, it came as a minor irritation – which I attributed to the fact that the request came from a Northern university.
I had sent my sister-in-law to the University of Maiduguri for a degree course in Education.
All the necessary fees were paid and all the recommended books were purchased when she went off. She returned home four weeks after, for a short break and requested for additional money apart from her monthly allowance.
"What for"? I asked in absolute ignorance.
"For Course Notes, sir," she replied; also in perfect innocence."
