For many people, education – especially in Africa – remains one of the most important tools to navigate life. This explains why a lot of people go through a lot to see their kids through school.

Recently, a young boy in Enugu state, Nigeria went viral online following his refusal to attend classes even after his father had paid his school fees. However, the primary school pupil didn’t quite escape schooling as his classmates weren’t about to fold their hands and let him throw his future away.

Currently trending online are photos of the young man being carried to school.

In the pictures, the boy is seen with a scowl on his faces which contrasts the cheerful looks on the faces of his classmates as they happily drag him to school. The photos were shared on Facebook by a Nigerian man identified as Chukwunonso Peter.

The photos which have since gone viral, left many social media users amused.
