In the 60s competition for admission into the few available colleges was stiff and keen apart from the fact that many could not afford the school fees.

Sir Victor Olaiya then penned the lines of his famous song, which reflected the trend at the time, which when translated, says that a young Nigerian had promised his pretty light complexioned girlfriend that he would send her a travel ticket to London as soon as he arrived London himself.
