Sending Kids Born Abroad To Boarding School In Nigeria. by bebe2(f): 1:29am On Jul 10, 2016 |
Good day , Just thinking aloud. Is it ever OK to send kids born abroad to boarding school in Nigeria? My brothers in America did this for all four of his kids, they all went to adesoye college . Second brother did same. Loyola jesuit. Now am considering all options as my kids grow older. What are different advantages and disadvantages of sending kids to boarding house as oppose to letting them stay in Europe and continue with their schooling |

It is better for your kids to get corrupted "adorably"Most boarding houses in Nigeria are nothing to write home about. |

bebe2: Adesoye College Offa!!!!!! The thing is, it doesn't necessarily have to be boarding school. It's more about sending them home to grow up in their land so as not to forget where they came from. I had a classmate in senior school, his parents are based abroad he's living with his uncle in Nigeria, after sec skul, he went back to his parents abroad. So, bring them home and let them learn about their father land and not be, "they said Nigeria is *****", or "I wish I know what Nigeria exactly is" But at the same time, different strokes for different folks 2 Likes 1 Share |

I will advise you to send them to a good day school as the evil that's going on in most of our boarding schools are unspeakable, or better keep them over there and teach them manners yourself. |

Amoto94: Day school is not an option. There is no one they can stay with in Nigeria. It's not necessarily about manners it's about culture and having a different experience. Lol @"adorably corrupt" 1 Like |

bebe2: Iam sure many people here will tell you that you should not try it and that boarding schools are bad. Are the day schools not equally bad. To me it is a good idea. You can have a talk with your brothers. If they were satisfied with the conduct of their kids after schooling in Nigeria, then you are good to go. My son told me that there are four(4) people in his JSS 1 set presently that came from abroad. Two(2) from US, One(1) each from Canada and UK. The problem with some of the boarding schools especially that of the Catholic schools is that they do not have common entrance centres outside the country. 1 Like |

NL1960: Yea. My nieces and nephews that passed thru the stage seem to have done wellish The best thing I see in them is how free they are wen in Nigeria. They go out on their own and even drive in lagos. They are more Nigerian than me. My niece even attempted to fight one area boy that was asking us for money to get into the beach in lekki I was just begging and shaking like a leaf. I def want to explore it. Am hoping some schools have centres abroad where foreign students can take their exams 1 Like |

At the moment Nigeria is very unstable, uprise of the Niger delta , the Biafra movement in the east and boko haram in the north. I won't risk it right now. I'm very pro Nigeria and patriotic, at the same time I am very practical and would not take unnecessary risk especially with my kids. Most Nigerians that can afford it are sending their kids abroad and those that can't are sending them to Ghana. The Educational system in Nigeria is messed and the few good private schools are overpriced or full of spoilt rich kids. |
