From your statement, we can deduce you are not properly brought up and it's obvious you didn't complete your basic education.

Pls look out for a secondary school from the listed, attend and make sure you graduate....anuofia

Nenejeje:
missionary schools topping though. nice

Almost a century (89 years) that Christian movements have been establishing schools, the Allahic never found there feet to establish one. Christians have been too kind. They allowed these people access to secondary education for 89 years.

Universities from churches are springing up now at almost ratio 20:1 Christian/Muslim AND all we are hearing is 'churches are reaping there members off'without corresponding efforts of theirs.

NB-We will not allow government take -over of these universities as you did to our pry and secondary schools.

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)?!

My school is not mentioned oh

Nigeria is really blessed with education.

Kudos to South westerns for bringing education into Nigeria...Let them know now.

I rep Yoruba nation

We re the best in Nigeria

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.

Up Ilegrams....Producer say soooooo

Integrityfarms:
The north had been somehow unfortunate to have Western education on time.

This your statement is not clear. Unfortunate "NOT" to have you mean??

Well those days colonial and local politics played a big role in establishing schools.

Northern emirs were not very keen on the masses having Western education. In fact they opposed it. You see that Katsina-Ala in Benue got one and none in the important Sultanate City of Sokoto.

In Benin City, the people were very keen on having schools by 1900. E.g people in the Dukedom of Oghada near Benin went to the colonial officers to volunteer to use own money (from booming rubber for bicycle and nascent automobile tyre trade) to build/fund a school to educate "100 boys" from their community. But Colonial officers refused. Instead they wanted to handpick children of some local elites who collaborated with colonial officers and a few others to send to other parts of Nigeria to educate.

They did not want many Benin people educated. They feared educating them would create a vocal elite that could team up with Lagos & Sierra Leone educated people to oppose colonial government. That was clearly written in colonial officers memo to imperial govt London. With Oba Ovonramwen deported to Calabar & anger among Benin people, it was clear why colonial officers felt that way.

No doubt some other communities in Nigeria would have been equally disadvantaged similarly.

Politics has played a big part in these things right from time.
