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)

Sheriman:

It is a fake news. Their is no originality in what the OP brought to Nairaland

Exc2000:



European contact vs Western Education

Who was your English teacher?!

Adebowale352:
This Op is a fool.
With a prejudiced mindset.

The old buildings have been replaced with newer and attractive buildings.

The old buildings are no longer in use, yet you kept emphasizing on how bad the old ones are.

People who think this way don't ever forget the past.

Your geography teacher must refund, your parents the school fees they spent on you.
Kindly Google Portugal is in which continent first.
It was during the scramble & partition of Africa, that colonial Britain with their missionaries claimed Niger area for the queen of England.

kenddys:
I don't see any reason why building should be refurbished when it is supposed to be historic!



How do you expect people to come see a 1843 building when it looks like one built in 2012

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.

yinka20:
Op your info is not correct, that old building is no longer in use,dere is a new one beside it.get your fact right pls.

travelwaka:
Did you watch the video If you did, it covered both the new and the old, the question is why should this one be abandoned.

Ikidons:

It's not about the new buildings. The very first buildings in the premises ought to be given more attention for they are our heritage and would attract tourism.

You are very funny....why should a dilapidated old building be used in this modern time.... When the state has the resources for erecting a better structure.... No matter how u renovate or refurbish the buildings...it will still not be safe to teach children inside....get it Mr!

travelwaka:
This is the first primary school in Nigeria. Its however sad that it has been left unattended to. Anyways What do you think about the first primary school in Nigeria. It was built in 1843. It is a missionary school and is still in existence
However it has a new and modern building attached but why would they leave the old building to rot away

medokills:
see Nigeria youth mode of reasoning. So u can allow ur child to sitting in this kind of building all in the name of education.

Unattended yet still in use? you contradict yourself in your last statements and questions. Is.nt it a good thing that it still exists today as a school? The fact that it has new building in place of the old is also a good one . Or were you expecting them to still be in the old bamboo/mud/thatched house so that you can have the chance to come and shout shame on nigeria?. Why is it so difficult to satisfy people of your kind ? Show us a house of the same age from your village that you personally renovated and lets compare it with the schools own and see what you are talking about ? People talking rubbish from time immemorial

olujastro:

I was going to subscribe to your Channel but I don’t like people who mislead others just to get views.
You conveniently didn’t talk about the adjacent modern building in use and created a false impression just to attract already frustrated Nairalanders using negative reviews.

MemoriesAndMe:
The "sorry state" of the building shouldn't be of any concern since a newer building has replaced it. Remodeling the actual building to a contemporary one takes away the value it has as the first primary school in Nigeria. Wven changing the roof to newer ones like the modern day ones still makes it lose its value and an attraction center.

Obviously we don't expect it safe for students to still receive lectures in a building built in the 1800's, so no reason to blame its current looks on anything nor anyone nor the government. It happens to all aged buildings, especially the abandoned ones like this one.

Its dark in there and its roof leaks because its an abandoned building and isn't demolished already because its an historical landmark.

travelwaka:
Did you watch the video?? You'd know that I mentioned that there is a new and modern building in place. How did I mislead people? Is that not the first school in Nigeria?
The new building isn't the first primary school building.

Go back and check all my other post. I have never post any negative review or mislead people. I don't care about the Traffic. The fact is the first primary school in Nigeria is in a pathetic state and deserves the government attention. My goal is to promote tourist attractions in Nigeria.

I don't create post for traffic, I create post to enlighten people.
