SynopsisKnowledge is power and in developing countries the key to not only improving your own life but that of your country, and in the case of Africa, your continent. That is why so many young people emigrate from these areas of the world to the west: they are in search of the best education possible. Unfortunately, there are times when unscrupulous individuals take advantage of that desire and exploit those dreams for their own personal gain. This is one such story. When issues arise that delay Cornwall's ability to enroll its foreign students to the main campus in Ontario, Canada, they come upon a fantastic solution: the college opens a satellite campus in Antigua in the Americas for its international students. After many months of delays and problems between the college and Canadian immigration officials, the establishment of this second campus does indeed seem like a dream come true. Armed with partial scholarships from CIC, armies of graduates from some tertiary institutions in Africa immigrate to Antigua to attend this outpost campus of Cornwall International College. Portraying a betrayal of trust of extraordinary proportion, Onanjiri's tale is as shocking as it is a warning to anyone receiving an offer from another part of the world that appears to be too good to be true. A mesmerizing, horrifying account of the chain of events endured by international students who moved across the world to Antigua in an attempt to realize their dream of a Western higher learning, Cornwall International College is a cautionary tale that highlights the lengths some people will go to scam others for money.
