Went to Nigeria Navy Sec.Sch Abeokuta. In Jss. 2 way back 96 was always ratting seniors out who bullied me cos I hadd a mean no nonsense cousin who was doing his PPA as a corper there. He brushed them wella 4 me. Problem was nobody told me corpers spent only one mandatory year. So I got carried away with reporting dem seniors. When my coz packed his bags to leave nobody told me to pack my own bags & leave, cos I knew I was goin 2 die d following term. LOL 8 Likes |

I looooooooove boarding schools. Children learn to be independent. . . I always keep a close watch. . .visit regularly. . .and have a SUPERVISOR to keep tab on them within the boarding facility. The greatest form of socialization too! THEY LEARN TO USE THEIR BRAINS. . . while developing the greatest of socialization skills! I PREFER A SCHOOL WITH MALES AND FEMALES! Most importantly. . .I HAVE MY OWN LIFE TO LIVE. . . it is a way to prepare them to live theirs. . .instead of becoming social-misfits unable to develop a healthy self-esteem. You just have to look for a good boarding school. . .with all the right facilities. Not every child is meant to be a 'boarder'. . . . evaluate how you child is coping. . . and determine the need to pull him or her OUT! Please, make sure you teach him or her HOW TO REPORT AND DEAL WITH BULLIES AND THE DANGERS OF JOINING GANGS AND GROUPS. Investigate the social backgrounds of the other children they may bring home. . .and screen for those with 'dysfunctional' gene-pools and OCCULTIC mentalities! Se-x education should be discussed FREQUENTLY!!!! 1 Like |

J12: I was sent to a boarding school because I was a rebel. My parents believed that being very away from home was the best treatment I could get since I could no longer keep contact with my fellow rebellious peers. The main point of this thread is just the highlighted post. Na that one suppose fear us pass. I knew this during my secondary school 2008, we do have them, they nearly knack my friend, not to talk of now they are everywhere. Satan is wicked! |

Duke_Nija: Boarding Schools used to be an opportunity for children to be independent, well trained and disciplined, well, that was back in the 90's. At first bolded, I spent 6 wonderful yet crazy, annoying yet memorable years at that school. Yes it was crazy at times especially when we were juniors but I'm glad i went through all of it. I learnt a lot of good things and some bad things there no doubt, but the kind of training i had received at home made me know which to follow and which to avoid. Would I send my kids to a boarding house? wonderful YES. Infact, i would have started singing it to my future wife before we get married at all.lol. Up FGCL! IJ4lyf @second bolded, you are not entirely wrong in your submission, but yes, YOU ARE DEFINITELY OVERREACTING |

ItsModella: So Federal Schools are really rugged. My cousin went to FGC Ijanikin, it was there he lost his two front teeth cos some senior pushed him and he fell face first on the concrete ground..like wtf? His parents refused to learn from that experience and sent his younger ones to FGC Okigwe. God knows if that happens to my child, all hell would break loose. His parents knew that their son breaking his teeth was not enough reason to discard the boarding house system. the experience of growing up with kids from different backgrounds and exposure is something you will never ever be able to give your child at home. Don't worry, many parents have raised more hell than you can possibly raise. Guess what, most of those parents usually still brought their kids back the following term.lol. i went to Ijanikin, a school where you find kids of the rich,the very rich, the poor, the influential, the very influential e.t.c. so trust me when i say people raised hell.......in vain usually lol If you have loads of money and you child is brilliant, no, very brilliant, then simply send him to LJC (Loyola Jesuit College) in Abuja. My kids dey go boarding house sha.lol 1 Like |

In my Jss 1, the vogue then was arrested development (loved everyday people to bits), boys 2 men, MC hammer and Bobby Brown. Keith sweat didn't have his break through yet.

Well,i still believe that some boarding schools are still inorder in terms of teaching the students moral and displine.I attended one and would like my kids to go through it as well.I know that there is high level of immorality in the society and schools these days.The training both academically i had in the seminary is second to non and that truly shaped my life till date.Those days they looked tough as punishment but after that u realise it was the best that happened in your life.There could be some social vices there now but will never be like an ordinary private or public boarding schoool.So i will also like my kids to be trained there as well.The choice of furthering for priesthood is optional after secondary and not by force in any way.But passing through the system is one good experience that will not be forgotten easily. 1 Like |

Everything in life must bring out positive or negative results in life.. I am a product of the boarding house(FGC WARRI) and i am proud of it. While in the boarding school you are made to see †ђξ reality of life. The positive part of the boarding school includes 1. Its exposes you to take reasonable decisions on ur own without the consent of ur parents(like reading, sanitation,etc) 2. It encourages us to be semi dependent and this can the helpful in life So far so good i have seen a handful of boarding house products that have gone waywards sha but the boarding house have most prominent people in societies today. Governors,doctors,etc present delta state governor is a product of FGC WARRI... So For me i wouldn't mind sending any of my kids to †ђξ boarding house because a good boarding house will not allow their students to go haywire.. |
