Finishing School
« on: April 01, 2008, 07:50 PM »

Hi,

I reside in the UK and I have seen the decline in the moral standard, manners & etiquette of young people both in the UK and Nigeria, but in fairness I don't think it's that bad in Nigeria yet. But, believe me it is surely going that way.

I am interested in altering their mind set,attitude, bad manners & etiquette, for good ones. I went to a finishing school myself.

A lot of people think that finishing schools are only about vain stuff, but it is deeper and it is something I am passionate about. For instance, I am a lawyer and I have certificates in Personal coaching, Public speaking and Accent softening. I believe things like accents and word pronunciation are major obstacles to people getting certain jobs or becoming part of the right social class/circle.

There is also the issue of mindset, which is one of the greatest problems in Africa. These things can be taught in finishing schools. You also learn life skills.

I want the youths of Nigeria to be the best in the world. The world has become a global village and we as Nigerians travel all over the world these days, by implication we are competing against people from other social circles. We must improve our chances of success.

I think that parents should invest in the future of their children. Finishing schools are places where you meet other people that can help you along in life( networking).

Enough said. I am just so enthusiastic about the future of our youth. Do people think, this can be a successful venture in Nigeria. I would appreciate a genuine response.

Thank you.
