"This Is My Only Boy Man" Oga Obinna Dissapointed After Son Gets Calling Letter For School In Village

Content creator and YouTuber Oga Obinna has expressed frustration over the secondary school placement of his son following the release of the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) results.

Obinna’s son was among the candidates who performed strongly in the national exams, a result that left the proud father impressed and hopeful. 

However, his excitement quickly turned into concern after his son was placed in a school far from home.

“I Wanted a Day School”

In a video shared on TikTok, the father of five questioned the placement system used by the Ministry of Education, saying it did not reflect the choices made by learners and their parents.

Obinna revealed that his only son, who is also his firstborn, was admitted to Ituru Boys High School in Gatundu — a boarding school he says they never selected during the school choice process.

“My son performed very well. I even doubted the results at first because of how good they were,” Obinna said.

“But now he has been called to a boarding school in Gatundu. I wanted a day school, something close to home,” he added.

The YouTuber noted that he is uncomfortable sending his son to a boarding school at such a young age and is now seeking alternative options.

Obinna also shared that his nephew is facing a similar situation. The boy, who lives in Lela and previously schooled in Maseno, has been placed in a day school in Vihiga County.

He questioned how the family would manage daily travel, saying the placement does not make practical sense.

“These placements are confusing. Kids are being sent to schools they did not choose, and parents are left stranded,” he said.

After sharing his concerns online, Obinna received mixed reactions from social media users. 

Some reassured him that Ituru Boys is a good school, while others shared similar frustrations about their children being placed in unfamiliar institutions.

Several parents admitted they were equally shocked to see their children admitted to schools they had never heard of or selected.
