Does the President source his forex at black market rate or at CBN rates? If the former is the case that's fine but if the latter is then he proves even more his evil and destructive tendencies which must certainly haunt him in every aspect of his life from today onwards.

It better not be that CBN can subsidise forex for him and a privileged few but not for other ordinary Nigerians who make honest money and want to give their kids better alternatives than we have here.
He is President, the country pays his kids school fees, not him.

He is President, the country pays his kids school fees, not him.

So, the country can afford to maintain his wards in affluence and luxury of foreign education and all other entitlements but he so callously disregards those who now find it practically impossible to do same for their kids because of his dated economic n fiscal policies?

He actually sits with a sense of entitlement that he can afford it while it is our common wealth that is frittered away to cater for him in this period of supposed austerity! His manner of approach is galling! There are better ways of putting issues through and it is foolishness on his part not to find a modicum of diplomacy and tact in his position as president.

Much ado about nothing. Buhari obviously wasnt blessed with diplomatic or sugarcoated speech but in all, there is nothing strange about what he said.

The country is going through a financial crisis, the CBN is subsidising FX to only importers of essential commodities and individuals paying for school fees abroad is obviously not listed as one of those essentials. So what is strange about what the president said?

If the president should subsidise foreign school fees, then he must also subsidise FX rates for all importers including toothpick and then we all sit back and watch Nigeria plunged into economic oblivion when our FX reserves fall to zero because we are all mumus who do not know how to prioritise.

Obviously the anger is that his own children study abroad even when he claimed he couldnt afford party nomination forms. But only a mumu will compare N27m at an instance to the money it cost for school fees spread over a period.

So it costs over 20 million to take someone abroad ba? Have you forgotten that he recieves pension and also owns a farm? And don't you know that as a president he recieves salary and allowances?

God punish ignorance

So Jonathan could not afford training his own children abroad?

When i see people like you, i usually ask them, " Have you eaten this morning " ? " or how much does this deceitful govt pay you to keep writing thrash to support them " ?

I am sure, buari is not ur dad, neither does he send you allowances..

Nigerians spend more time treating ringworm than leprosy. Their foreign vendors are always ready to continue to lead them astray. Part of deductions from Senator Dr. Olowoporokus recent thread is that no one, however highly placed should spend forex in Nigeria or in the State House. Only the CBN and its accredited agents(Banks) can source for forex and dispense forex abroad but never inside the country. Mr. President can always approach his Banker, complete the necessary documents, which the Bank and CBN will vet to ensure compliance with the law, to pay his children school fees abroad.

Everything he said was right, but by now I taught me would hav relocated all his children schs to Nigeria for study. We hav good private universities that can help deliver excellent result. This is time everyone I patronizing made in Nigeria goods irrespective of quality now cos over time we will grow to quality. He should lead by example sir. I no longer trust him... . GEJ children sch here in Nigeria irrespective of our resources then.

In every society, there are rich and poor people. Unfortunately in Nigeria, we have a battered educational system and every rich person (who can afford it) desires to send their wards to school overseas. With the forex shortage crisis, this implies that it has become more expensive for parents to train their children abroad, however, those who can still afford it can still do by spending some extra cash.

The bottom line of the argument on this thread is basically that Buhari should subsidise school fees payment for 'rich' people who have their kids studying abroad and who now find it a bit more expensive to keep up. The big question then is, if Buhari depletes the nation's reserves to subsidise school fees for 'rich' people, do you think this will be a fair policy to the children of tens of millions of average middle class and children of the poor who school in Nigeria?

About Buhari having his children studying overseas, the bitter truth is that he has the money; forget the story about Buhari being poor, he may not be as rich as most governors or ministers or state commissioners or oil tycoons, but remember, even his military pension and ex-head of state pension is more than enough to make him a rich and comfortable man who can train his wards overseas. About GEJ's children studying in Nigeria, that's a different ball game cos his kids are still young and in secondary school. Let's wait and see him send his little boy to Federal University Otuoke or UNIPORT before we judge on that.

na wa o. even if PMB goes to toilet today, it will still be a problem to some people. GEJ's fans are just too childish these days, crying over nothing. We saw the way GEJ lavished public funds those days and when people shouted, they were told to keep quiet cos he's the best thing to have ever happened on the face of the earth.

I even salute those who have the time to respond to their childish rants.

That someone can raise 4 or 5 million per year to train his kids abroad, that does not mean he can dip his hands in his wallet and dig out N27 million at an instance to purchase a form. I don't think any normal person needs an explanation for this straight forward logic.

Highly illogical
Can't pick up a form worth #27million, is broke with less than #1million in account, has no property... then suddenly boom, I can afford it, I have one land in PH.... bla bla bla...

I mean come on, we aren't zombies here, are you?

Just like I said earlier, that someone can raise 4-5 million per year for school fees etc, that doesn't mean he can just dip his hands in his pocket and cough out N27 million at an instance. Even a primary school pupil knows the difference between 5 and 27.

Yes and you and the primary school pupil missed the part where he said he only had #1million in his account...

4 and 1 is different also...

You can't defend him this time, he has left you in the cold as he always does.

they can still pay without any hitch,the official rate peg is a scam just like subsidy no country with large economy like ours pegs its currency exchange rate they allow the market forces to drive it and everyone buys at the same value no official rate for a priviledged few.

Someone like GMB who has only made money from govt all his life telling Nigerians that we can't afford it. It's our money not govt money and it's time he stopped treating every Naija like a criminal! If every Naija is a criminal, it means that he got elected by criminals! It's pure arrogance and selfishness to degrade foreign education when his kids are benecifiaries of such at tax payer's expense. Whatever money he has today is as a result of being a govt enployee or member of the looting council.. He's never held a private job nor founded any business! He's depended on govt all his life!!
