Another reason she was in tears, according to a tweet seen, was because she may not continue her education beyond primary school because her parents lacked the means to sponsor her.

He wrote on Twitter:

"Wasilat was weeping when she was giving her farewell speech. None of her parents showed up at the party due to lack of money. Her dad is jobless and her mom is a 'struggling' trader. It was the school that funded some of her things, including the graduation gown."
