It seems you do not know that most of them have the IQ of a fish. In European countries, they keep these structures as "Monumental heritage". These buildings are maintained in line with the original building's standards and materials. That is why they still have churches that are 500-700 years old and still look great even today.
I see the points you are trying to make in the video, and they are very informed.

BreconHills:


The buildings abandoned here do not match 19th century colonial architecture. They must have been built much later. It is likely that the historic buildings are long gone and these more modern dilapidated ones are being used as placeholders.

I guess you didn't watch the video. It showes both the modern building and the old one. The focus was not on the new school but the first primary school which was the one in question. Hope your understand

What of Ofada 50kg,destoned?

Naijaepic:
My question, was the structure still in use for learning? If yes, then something is wrong. However, if not in use, then how would you point out to or show upcoming generations the structure of oldest school in Nigeria if it was demolished to pave way a new structure.

To me, the structure might be kept for historical reason.

Op some of your information is not correct, since am very close to the area mention, we have modern buildings in the school and the school is not totally abandon the way you paint the picture. Moreso, the school is in main Badagry not Topo( as against your spelling Tapo)

cenaman:
In a saner country these buildings will be renovated and turn into a tourist center. But in Nigeria negligence is the order of the day.

Lack of ownership... Nigeria is no mans land... So everybody is grabbing the much he can before the burst.

Hopez456:
Op did you visit the school?
The pictures you shared are those of abandoned buildings that are no more in use. There are other modern buildings, I have been to this school it is not in Topo but Badagry township.

It took 100 years after Yorubas got western education before any region other region had it

Demogorgon:
What a myopic and dumb post. Gosh!! Jerusalem wouldn't be a place of tourist attraction if the leaders there reason like this... A place, a building can be renovated to modern standard and not lose its historical touch and feel.

Prove me wrong if any school anywhere , any region is older than 100 years

travelwaka:
If they don't maintain it in few years time it will become a ruin and it's past glory all lost. They can at least cover the roofs , leave it the way it is without painting it. So that people can appreciate it's ancient beauty.

travelwaka:
Thank you, I am wondering why everyone is coming for me. I have posted over 30 posts here and not a single bad review. My job is to promote tourism in Nigeria and not to kill it, but this is an eyesore. With less than a million naira this building will undergo a facelift just like Freedom park , they left the old colonial ruins and incorporate it with modern structures.

If you people cared half as much about preserving your precolonial African artefacts and monuments, as you do about preserving colonial structures, Nigeria would have been a bigger tourist haven than Egypt.

Rubbish.

You're not even ashamed you're crying to preserve some wreched little colonial school.

This is the first primary school in Nigeria. The cradle of education in Nigeria.

Its however sad that it has been left unattended to. I do not like posting negative reviews but this is sad. It would cost almost nothing to maintain these buildings.

Anyways What do you think about the first primary school in Nigeria. It was built in 1843 as the Nursery of Infant School which was later renamed as St. Thomas Anglican Nursery and primary school by Rev. Golmer of the Church Missionary Society (CMS).

It is a missionary school and is still in existence till date.

However it has a new and modern building attached but why would they leave the old building to rot away?

What do you think?

That building is left for some reasons & one of those reasons brought you around.

It wouldn't have caught your attention if it's reshaped/modernized ,,, you hear
