As Minister, I Moved My Daughters to a Federal Government College - Chidoka | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka has berated the failure of public schools system in the country.

He said he would continue to advocate for its restoration until those concerned did the needful.

In a post on his social media handle, in a discussion on children, upbringing and independence, Chidoka said he moved his daughters to a federal government college, saying he took the step to prepare them for the future of struggle.
He stressed he was of the view that Nigerians were over parenting in the country.
“As Minister, I moved my daughters to a federal government college, Queens College. I wanted and still want them to be prepared for the future of struggle,” he said.
Chidoka noted that the over parenting of middle class and elite children excludes them from the institutions that run the country. “The future Inspector General of Police is an Assistant Superintendent of Police, fresh from a public school and ready to climb the ladder.

“Our children in private schools running away from the evils of society will be happy in 25 years to be friends of the AIG, DIG, IGP, CG of Custom, Major General, Permanent Secretary etc….effectively those that will run Nigeria,” he said.

Chidoka who was also a former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, disclosed that he didn’t become Corps Marshal and Minister from Harvard, saying he equally attended public school. “I went to Union Secondary School Awkunanaw Enugu. I went to University of Nigeria Enugu campus. I came to Youth Service in Abuja sleeping in the Sitting room of my Aunty’s House in Area 1,” he said.
Chidoka said, though his children have the advantage of educated and enlightened parents, which he described as “a huge advantage” they should struggle for their future. “You are 16 and afraid of the society meanwhile 16 years olds are hawking on the streets and paying for their schooling”
Chidoka warned that the society is decaying because parents are training a generation he described as “hot house plants”, who are fended for without motivation to struggle.
“Every holiday, my daughters, who are fluent in French go to a secondary school in Jabi as volunteers to teach French. My drivers don’t take them, they walk or take Keke to the school. They are not Queens, they are young girls whose mates are fetching water from streams kilometers away from home. They need survival instincts in a depraved world not artificial fences,” the former Minister said.
He observed that his background prepared him for the future. “We struggled, we were road warriors, I paid my way to my Masters in the US and joined ExxonMobil in the US through a competitive process” Adding that “Life is a struggle. The struggle or warfare in nature is not wrong or unjust it is the mechanism for growth, innovation and survival of the fittest while the role of government is to protect the weak and the vulnerable and create equal opportunities.
In conclusion Chidoka advised youths in the country to apply deep intellect, enterprise, and good morals in all their endeavors.

“Wherever our children find themselves lets inculcate the principles of Uche, Uchu na Egwuchukwu. They are timeless and unchanging principles in a changing world. They cannot learn it from lectures and talk shows….throw them into the deep end and they will be strong swimmers” he advised.
