Nigerian cry

Date:

Share post:

The 90 Nigerian students who have been in Barbados for only a week are already disgusted with their living arrangements, with some planning to go back home if they are not relocated.

The DAILY NATION interviewed some of them at the Casa Grande Hotel at Oldbury, St Philip, yesterday where they are being housed.

They charged that the conditions at the hotel were unsuitable for their lifestyle; that they wanted air-conditioning units and televisions in the rooms; that their meal portions were extremely small; and they felt isolated from Barbadian society.

In addition, police were summoned to the hotel yesterday for two of the students following an alleged verbal confrontation with their facilitator, Donna St Hill.

Please read the full story in today’s Daily Nation, or in the eNATION edition.
