Content creator @frank_demediator posted a video on 13 May 2026 in Nigeria, showing what he said is the condition of a government school in Vandeikya. The footage highlighted deteriorating infrastructure, damaged classrooms and unfinished structures, with claims that learners continue attending classes despite the poor environment.

According to the man, some parts of the school lack basic facilities such as ceilings, windows and doors, while certain classroom areas appear incomplete. He also showed structures with roofing made from bush materials, saying rainy weather forces classes to stop immediately because learners must leave classrooms for safety reasons.

In his post, he stressed that the situation was not computer-generated or fake, saying he wanted Nigerians to see the reality some children face while trying to get an education. He added that learners attend school in those conditions daily and described it as unacceptable for children expected to become future leaders.

User @frank_demediator also used the video to encourage public support, asking people willing to help to contribute toward improving the school facilities. He said funds raised could assist with roofing and infrastructure upgrades, while broader concerns continue around school infrastructure challenges facing some communities across parts of Nigeria.
