It's Never too late!!! Ex-minister’s 90-year-old father takes computer lessons

Ogbueshi Ben Chidoka, the 90-year-old father of a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, has begun taking computer lessons. The former minister gleefully posted this development on Facebook on Tuesday, saying he bought a laptop for his father who clocked 90 in November 2016.

The ex-minister, who also posted pictures of his father taking the lessons from a female instructor, said he had been receiving and replying emails. His post reads: “My father, with his tutor, learning how to use the computer.

I was surprised to see this today, apparently since after his 90th birthday in November he has been taking lessons on use of Microsoft Word and receiving and replying emails. He is refusing to give up at 90, so you can’t give up; neither can I?

I am motivated by this exemplary display of thirst for knowledge and willingness to learn new things. He made me buy him a laptop, I did. Believing he will not use it, I guess I underestimated his determination.” The post attracted 29 shares and over 80 comments as at press-time.
