LAGOS — Nollywood actor cum politician, Yul Edochie has given the reason he has decided against sending his kids abroad to study.
On his verified Twitter page, the father-of-four revealed that though he could afford to send his kids abroad to study, he would not make such a decision.
He noted that his children would study in Nigeria due to his love for the country, adding that for one to be able to build the country, such a person must love the country.
The actor further stated that he would only send his kids abroad for schooling if he sees an American actor whose child schools in Nigeria.
The actor tweeted, “Show me an American actor whose child is schooling in Nigeria and I’ll send my daughter abroad to study. That’s what I told my wife. I can afford to send my kids abroad to study. God has blessed my hard work. But no. They’ll all study here. To build Nigeria, we must love Nigeria.”
His tweet comes shortly after the House of Representatives rejected a bill seeking to regulate how children of public officers enroll in schools outside the shores of Nigeria.
The bill had faced stiff opposition at the second reading on Thursday.
