Too bad for the kids. Their parents should be lashed.

this is not even nearly a terrible situation in this damn country this days.there are kids with both parents present who live like refugees.but i cant help putting a huge blame on women who quickly open there legs but wont struggle with the man to raise the children afterwords.just marry a rich man if you dnt want to suffer.this is no story.those kids are even living the dream.most children are living off the remains of the street.

We are always quick to judge other people's situation not minding the circumstances or reasons attached.
8 years is so long to have abandoned bundles of joy but it must be pointed out that the father loved spending their most important day of their lives with them (birthday) prior to their enrollment at the boarding school and also ultimately knew they would be protected,well-taken care of and above all acquired quality education-the only lasting legacy a father can ever give his children.
So many things could have happened to him...he could have thought of finding a place where his children won't get to see or suffer from the "shame/abuses/stigma/failure to provide for them" life he's living.He might have taken his life,not mentally stable etc.
Many of those who "claimed" to have sent upkeep money to him also didn't visited those children all the while...i bet they are just milking the situation just to paint themselves good since the father is no where to be found to speak for himself.
Why is it that after so many years,the children still yarn to hold,hug and re-unite with their father?maybe because in their young formative days when things were rosy with their father...he showered them with love,attention and care?he was always there for them which meant a whole lot to a none-existed mother.
Na condition make crayfish bend...8 years is too long.He knew somebody somewhere or the goverment will assist him when it becomes news but he also forgot or turn deaf ears to the saying that you can't use your own "pleasures and wants" to inconvenient someone else or the society.
If still alive and healthy,he will show up but until then kids....God will finish that which He's started in your lives

Kai! I am shattered by these childrens' plight. I pray God come through for them pretty soon. Such innocence, they even want their parents back after 8 years despite the abandonment, may God help them.
I pray God Almighty empowers all Parents to be able to provide for and leave inherritance for our Children, their Children and their Childrens' Childrens' Children

Goodnews from Yaba. Send me on a search party to bring the so-father dead or alive.

What are the legal implications of his action ( or inaction)?


Btw, is it primary and secondary school together?

Mr Segun Adepegba, the father of the three children abandoned in a boarding school for eight years in Abule-Iroko in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Mr Segun Adepegba, on Wednesday, reached out toPUNCH Metro.
Adepegba said hardship pushed him to the wall and that was why he could not take care of his children. He, however, promised to visit them before the end of the week.
The father of three, in a telephone interview withPUNCH Metro, recounted his ordeal, saying, “life has been very tough for me.” He said he left the children because he was jobless and had no house to accommodate them.
PUNCH Metrohad on Tuesday reported that Adepegba’s children-Seun, 14, Titilola 13, and Seyi, 10, had been abandoned since 2007 at Solid Rock Model College in Abule-Iroko. The children, who had been eager to meet their parents, said the absence of their parents was affecting their studies.
For many years, the school authorities had been trying to reach Adepegba to no avail. The proprietor of the school, Mr Samuel Ayegbusi, had told our correspondent that any time he called Adepegba and he realised it was him, he would switch off his phones.
Adepegba, however, bowed to pressure on Tuesday after reading the report byPUNCH Metro. He told our correspondent that abandoning his children was inevitable, promising that he would visit the school.
While narrating his ordeal to our correspondent, he said, “In 2007, my wife and I had a misunderstanding and she told me she was leaving me. I was frustrated and the children were little. Seyi, the youngest was just two years while Titilola was just five.
“There was no way I could give them motherly care. I had no job. As a man, I needed someone to help me take care of them and that was why my sister suggested that we enrol them in a boarding school.”
Adepegba toldPUNCH Metrothat when the children’s bills kept accumulating and he had no means of paying, he was afraid that if he came to the school, the proprietor would get him arrested.
He said, “I feared that if I suddenly appeared at the school, the proprietor would get the police to arrest me. I really appreciate the proprietor of Solid Rock Model College, for coming to my rescue and accepting the responsibility to help me take care of my children. The truth is this: I was pushed to the wall. I didn’t want my children to be beggars on the street.
“All these years, I have been jobless. I had no house to live in. I was putting up with someone. I just rented a one-room apartment and just got a job. I am not a wicked father. I really miss them but I am gradually overcoming the challenges I have been facing. I did not abandon them in that sense. I can assure you that before the week runs out, I will visit them.”
Asked whether his wife had called him about how the children were doing, Adepegba said since she left him in 2007, he had not heard from her.
“The last time we saw each other was probably in 2007 when she left me. I have been trying to reach her but my search has not been fruitful. I heard that she is somewhere in the northern part of the country,” he said.
However, the school proprietor toldPUNCH Metrothat the school authorities had no intention of getting Adepegba arrested for his debt .He said he reported the matter to the Ogun State Police Command because he was fed up.
He said, “I have nothing against Mr Adepegba and I understand his plight. My grievance was that he kept on rejecting my calls and abandoned his children. How could he as a father leave his children for this long? It is not a good thing.”
Our correspondent learnt that the news of their father’s return had lifted the heart of the children. The children were all smiles when they were told that their father had promised to return before the end of the week.
Speaking withPUNCH Metroon the telephone on Wednesday, Seun, the eldest of the trio said, “I am very happy that daddy has promised to come back. It means I would not have to spend my holidays in the school again.”
Titilola added, “I hope this is not another promise that will fail. I am really looking forward to seeing him because it will make me very happy.”

'It was learnt that their tale of sorrow began in 2007 when their father, Mr Segun Adepegba, who had been separated from their mother, enrolled them in the boarding school because he could not afford to take care of them.'


..What a world! Marriage should be for better for worse....abandoning your husband or responsibilities indicate that the woman is just looking for easy life in marriage....Women are more desperate to get married but don't feel desperate enough to build the home...,please marriage is full of battle but do you know the truth, If you can endure to the end, it is always glorious.

However the man is not man enough!! ,,,what ever happens your children shoudnt be abandoned, he need reorientation and of course he should appreciate the school authorities they have done charitably well!

The Government should see this as a challenge as many families are going through even worst situation ,Job should be created to help millions of Nigerians suffering..it is well indeed!
