sorry1:
yorubas are weak people that was why. they were very easy to be conquered by the Europeans and the schools established, making them abandon their culture for western culture.

I disagree, we aren't weak in culture. Yoruba people are very sociable, Yoruba are among the most urbanized people in Africa.

If you reason without sentiment, you will agree with me. Any culture thrives in yoruba land due to it's flexible culture. OK, tell me, are yorubas Christians or muslims?

The highlighted schools morphed from primary schools/Teachers’ Training Colleges into secondary schools before independence. The exact date of metamorphosis of these schools cannot be ascertained, hence the original years of establishment was used in listing them. Primary Schools and Teachers’ Training Colleges that didn’t morph into secondary schools are exempted from the list. Northern Provincial Schools are also exempted because of inadequate information/recorded history. Examples include;
Adamawa Provincial Secondary School (Gen. Murtala Muhammed College), Yola (1920)?!
Katsina Provincial Secondary school (Government College, Katsina) (1930)?!

Holy family college ABAK and West African People Institute WAPI Calabar are not in the list but were establish earlier than some of the afore-mentioned.....Notwithstanding kudos to N0.5, 7,10, 20, 22 and 43

Ibadan Grammar School, Molete, Ibadan (Mar. 1913) - CMS

I C MY SCHOOL OO

I rep No. 83, Badagry Grammar School (1955) - NIL SINE LABORE

The Anthem:
Badagry Town, Door of Civilization,
First Christianity, and Merchant the next;
Then follow Orders and Regulations
And Yorubas with Eguns were at rest

O Fount of knowledge, We all cried up to Thee,
Guide us at work and guide us at play;
We shall climb the highest, the uppermost tree,
If the teachers are taught by thy Led.

Grant us Oh Lord, that our days may be ample,
After our course in school has been run;
Oh Blessed Jesus who trained all the simple,
Arise and shine Oh Thou Eternal Son

C.A. Duru on my mind. Up BGS!!!

You are just contradicting yourself.
I can use the same logic and say those who are 100% christians or 100% Muslims are complete zombies that alll fell into the same pit and allowed themselves to be cornered into one ideology by external forces.
Yorubas arguably have one of the strongest cultures in Nigeria, so your earlier point is moot.

"Any culture" does not thrive in Yorubaland, it is the other way round, Yoruba culture assimilates people into its fold, and that is how how progressive cultures expand world over.
You would be surprised the huge number of people that Yoruba culture has assimilated into "Yorubaness".

Queen Elizabeth School, Ilorin is missing, and it was founded in 1956.

Why?

so no st Anne's ladies or mommmas here on nairaland

Yes, you guys assimilate fast that's the issue! only weak culture assimilates whatever that comes, and that's Yoruba culture in Nigeria. truth is mine.

Only Weaker culture assimilates whatever comes? lol.... Maybe English is your problem, but let me break it down for you.
Stronger or more prestigious cultures assimilates weaker cultures world over.

You can't be saying the people assimilating others are the ones with a weaker culture.
The early start Yorubas had in terms of Education is a lucky twist of fate, that's all. The Yorubas had the earliest exposure to mass scale Western Education in Nigeria, and that head start is part of what has them made them great till today.
Despite that, they kept most of their original cultures intact. It is ironic that today, those with the less significant western contact are the ones who worship western culture the most in Nigeria.
