Osita Chidoka, a former staff of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has revealed how her 90-year-old father decided to learn how to use a computer at his very old age.

The lady who said she was made to buy a laptop for her father, said she doubted his ability to make use of the system initially, but was stunned when he began to receive and reply e-mails on the same system.

She took to Facebook to share her joy at her father’s newly-found passion which she believes is as a result of his thirst for more knowledge despite his age.

“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,” she posted on Facebook.
