A former Minister of Works, Adeseye Ogunlewe, at the weekend said he regrets sending his children to study abroad and advised wealthy Nigerians to desist from such.

Mr. Ogunlewe, who is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said he struggled to meet with the financial implications of that decision and realized it was not worthwhile.

The former minister, who is now the pro-chancellor of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, bared his frustration when the Alumni Association of the school visited in his Ogudu residence in Lagos.

Mr. Ogunlewe said he had to pay his children’s tuition “through the nose”. He said the monies spent on transportation alone on them were enough to complete their education back home.

The former minister said, the reduction of tuition fee in federal institution by Present Goodluck Jonathan is a welcome development and will be a relief to many parents and guardians.

He warned the country leaders and other well-to-dos in the country to desist from sending their wards abroad for academic benefits.

He told them what they wanted to hear. Follow this man's words at your own peril. I'm actually surprised that this man is still roaming free when he should have been locked up for killing Nigerians on roads he failed to fix during his tenure as works minister.

Rubbish
The same way they will come out and eat cassava bread for us on TV then go home and we know that even their toilet papers that wipe their nyash are shipped from London.
They should stop annoying us o

Why did he wait till he was appointed a pro-chancellor before making this revelation ? This is nothing but politics and you should blame yourself for your childrens' failure instead of trying to cover up with the cost implication crap.

No amount of money is too much to spend on education.if you think otherwise,try ignorance

Na today? He's not that wealthy, hence his regret.

Like the Igbos would say, "anything dem bring from corner of pot must go to corner of the mouth" Why weren't the children withdrawn during the studies to prove his point

This what he really meant to say;

Fellow Nigerian elites, as you can see, our education system is irrevocably comatose,

Please by all means send your kid's abroad at any chance that you get... it's definitely worth it!!!



Scum.

these idiots do think we are goats. the same way obasanjo said he regrets not fixing our electricity. they will all die in regrets. i wish this man a regrettable life.
you steal and money and nothing happens to u and u still turn around to remind us that u are still existing.
pdp and whatever they stand for will not stop regretting. useless sets of animals.

Story Story Story!!

story story!!!!!!!!! voices from the market!!

rubbish talk.

Sorry to ask , when did FG reduce fees of federal university?

so u want only ur children to skul abroad ni? witdraw them den we wil no say u serious. as for me all my kids wil skul abroad

why not regret it at D̶̲̥̅̊a̶̲̥̅̊†̥̥ tym and send dem back 2 nigeria, y dis tym when he IƧ̷̜̩̌̋ done wit dem.
Park well oga ADE!

I will take that with a pinch of salt,considering it came from a Pdp rogue

He should tell WHY he regrets.
Maybe his children turned out to become crack addicts and gay activists, with no respect for their elders.

We done hear
What next

This is how terrible our sense of value has become. Because Ogunlewe has become a Pro-chancellor, he thinks condemning what his children greatly benefited from will change anything, abi?
By the way, where are the grandchildren planning to study?

*throws stone from one corner and Hits his forehead gbozzz!, d old glutton falls down and nobody cares to rush him to d hospital* Mehn how i wish i could achieve my aim on this baskaard.

Make sure you wear your pampers before stepping out of the house and dont forget to insist on having your mum's breast milk for the next six month... Anu ofia.

I think Oguunlewe truly regrets sending his kids abroad ...not because of the multi millions it cost him but cos his kids seem to have turned to junkies, riding expeensive whips and paatronizers of strip joints. These hubbies gulp money.

Otherwise, I wonder why some average Nigerian can afford to train his kids abroad while one of the most corrupt Aviation and works ministers found it hard to do same.

"Crocodile's cry"

The man shouldn't regret as he cannot compare the quality of education abroad to what obtains in Nigeria....foreign education is the best anytime, anyday!!!

When in Power, They are blinded by the intoxicating power of Power
Now out of power,they keep blabbing bollocks
Like N!gga pls!!
Who gives a phuccck?
