I finished high school in the late 80's and even as of now, I sometimes dream about my days in boarding house at Obot Idim. Chei, relieving those experiences in the USA is just great. It was really a fantastic experience. So, for the guy who finished 10 years ago and still dreams about boarding school, count me in. I wish I could go back to and relieve those memories right in that school, but we just have to move on with life.

When I reflect on my sojourn on earth, I am of the view that Nigeria treated me well back then. Thank God!!!

I hated Bording School, didn't even last 3wks there, they beat the living crap out of me that my parents had to transfer me back to Lagos, (my parents has never even beaten me like that in their life) that and ended up in catholic school until I left naija in ss1.

I will never send my kids to boarding school, the place is full of all kind of atrocities

To re-live your boarding school experiences, check-out the "Feddie Girl" novel by Nona David. It's about the hilarious adventures of an American teen in a Nigerian Federal (Boarding) School and documents the whole juicy details from a fresh angle you've never imagined.

Novel Back Blurb:

FEDDIE GIRL is an international adventure/thriller about the experiences of an American teenager in a Nigerian boarding school. This novel offers a unique reading experience--witty, fun, and exhilarating. The masterful suspense, action, and sub-plot will curl your toes, keep you reading all night, and leave you thirsting for more.

Carlotta Ikedi (A.k.a Feddie Girl) has never liked school. Not in California. Not in Oklahoma. When her exasperated parents ship her off to boarding school–in West Africa–Carlotta faces a life, culture, and existence unlike anything she’s ever known.

School rules and regulations, rising bell, lights-out, manual labor, inspections, dining time, prefects, punishments, mean bunkmates, and visiting days–it’s all here. But author Nona David takes Carlotta’s story a step further when her adventures lead to unfortunate incidents that threaten to drive her American family into the clutches of infidelity and organized crime.

Boarding school doesn’t get any better than this…

For those who have experienced the boarding school life, the adventures of Feddie Girl will bring those memories crashing back… For anyone else, get ready to see the world as Feddie Girl.
