In a TikTok video shared by @highschoolafrica, the student asked:
"Have you ever seen a third-class country offering a first-class country educational scholarship?"
According to her, the developed world only offers scholarships to the best brains in underdeveloped countries so they can benefit from such people.
“We are coming to take out the best from your country because we know you can’t take care of them. So we will handpick them and take them out, train them and use them as asserts in our country.”
"When they send you out there, they won’t ask you not to come to your country. They will offer you opportunities. Stay here and work for me, I will pay you this," she added.
Even though the lady said she would accept a scholarship from a developed country, she said it is a challenge that Ghana and other third-world countries must address.
