The Reality Of Sending Children To Schools In Lagos Today by PrimadonnaO(f): 2:54pm On Mar 04, 2021
I just stumbled on a document containing listings of some top schools in Lagos State and the cost of school fees.

I've been grinning from ear to ear, and I don't even know why. LOL.

I know that there are way more affordable schools, but then again, some parents just want the best of the best.


All of you who have more than 3 kids in schools like this you guys are trying.

A part of me still feels like I'll relocate from Lagos when I'm ready to raise a family, because what extravagance!

Of course, it's nothing when you have the money.
The first school there has an annual tuition of over 20m!

Middle class families try to send their kids to schools like Chrisland and Corona.

I have a colleague who has three kids... two in Corona, one in Chrisland. That's a total of almost 5m annually. It certainly can't be easy. Before you begin to add rent and feeding and all other expenses.

Those are private schools and no one is forced to send their children there, those who are comfortable with the fees and the standard of education offered there are free to enrol their children there. Government should rather focus its attention to upgrading the public school system which sadly its officials have little or no motivation to do so because their children attend those upscale schools.

The funniest thing is that in advanced societies, your kids will get the best education from primary level to university level for absolutely free. How does one pay school fees of 5 million naira per annum on a salary of 500k which most people don't even earn? Isn't it only 8 percent of workers that earn above 150k a month. Me I can never have kids in Africa. I love my unborn children so much to bring them to misery.

If you have the money to send your children to all these schools, please do! These big schools mean serious business. Some of their curriculums and activities are more advanced than most our conventional schools. They have better teachers, better learning materials, and a better learning environment . During the lockdown most of these institutions had the resources to continue having classes while other conventional schools were still cracking their brain on how to pay their staffs. At the end these schools create would-be Harvard materials, that's why our politicians send their children their children there.
Don't listen to those people who try to demean these private schools. "The man who cannot afford catfish will always say it's too slippery for him to eat"

There are no plantations today like three hundred years ago but everything in this brain-drain arrangement reeks modified slavery.

Not in America , Canada, China or the United Kingdom will an individual pursue a degree in Medicine or Pharmacy with less than 2 million naira or its equivalent.

Tertiary education in Nigeria is heavily subsidized. American students have to take student loans to further their education. Most of them fail to pay these loans throughout their lives.

Student loans , which is the contemporary form of feudalism, is so bad that no American Presidential aspirant fails to mention it in his campaign manifesto. No matter how these politcians attempt to correct this injustice, millions of adults remain indebted throughout their lives because they took student loans due to expensive education.

Nigeria subsidizes education because it wants to shorten the illiteracy gap between this country and the west. Everytime a medical doctor or pharmacist migrates after completing his medical degree in Nigeria, he or she is cheating Nigeria of at least 20 million naira that was used to subsidize his / her education.

If their parents were not wealthy or they didn't get a scholarship, they would never get the opportunity to be medical doctors abroad without Nigeria subsidizing their medical education.

It's bad for Nigeria when these people migrate because it would mean that Nigeria spent billions to subsidize education for people to service the economy of a richer Country that would never pay half of that to let them have that medical degree.

If this trend continues among young people, then Nigeria should go fully capitalist and eliminate that aspect of welfarism in the country's educational system. I know the aim of increasing the literacy level will be defeated but at least Nigeria will save billions of naira they lose to other countries when these professionals migrate.

You're smart.
Personally I've been pushing for a complete removal of education subsidy in Nigeria.
All these people will just come and have an almost free education and think they can run to the west.
It's either they are held accountable to pay before they travel out by creating a good computer system to keep that in check or if they can't create such,they eliminate education subsidy.
Atleast if people are made to pay accordingly for education,our schools won't be this bad because the centralist system of government funding schools will be eliminated and the school will make enough funds to run itself from its students and remit the remaining balance to government as it's even suppose to be,
Ie schools will even be a source of income to government.
Nigeria needs a capitalist president honestly, just that sometimes I pity poor people as policies like these will so much widen poverty gap.

You get it! I'm waiting for people to say that there are more affordable schools. True, more affordable schools, but do they have the quality and calibre of social networks that going to better schools will afford your kids?

Becausr these people paying 5m fees can't stay in your kind of environment and at the same time can't afford to buy property in the kind of environment suitable for them.
In essence, these are not the kind of people you expect to be rubbing shoulders with you in Gbagada and so on...know this and be enlightened.
