bluespice:
joan,
cant seem to find a way to contact you. . .

Pardon me, Bluespice, but I gave my contact e-mail on the original thread where I promised you a copy of the novel. I didn't know you had no way of connecting to it. Here it is again:

Awww, Bluespice, it appears you never received your complimentary copy. If you send me your address, (joan.peck@bernardbooks.com) I'll make sure one is sent over to you.

Unless you really want to wait for the e-book (Kindle) edition, that is.

Thread link: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-261695.0.html#msg3730217

Excerpt from "FEDDIE GIRL: The Hilarious Adventures of an American Teen in a Nigerian Federal School" by Nona David
Copyright July 2009.

Carlotta walked into the Sapphire House lobby and the room suddenly became silent. Twenty pairs of eyes turned to stare. She bit her lip and looked around at the eager faces deposited everywhere in the room. The faces belonged to students milling around comfortable armchairs arranged to face a wide screen television mounted on the wall.

Sandra waved. She stood at a corner with Uche and two other students.

Carlotta waved back and walked to them.

Sandra was thin and shriveled-looking with a large, squat nose dominating most of her facial features. She was dark-skinned and sported the kind of face that appeared rough and full of pores—almost like, if scrubbed hard with a damp cloth, a new layer of smoother skin would be successfully revealed.

Uche, on the other hand, was chubby and jolly, and equipped with a kind face and subtle eyes.

“Hi, girls,” Carlotta said. She looked at the other two girls and couldn’t place them. “Hey. I’m Carlotta.”

“This is Yvonne,” Sandra introduced a mousy looking girl. “And this is Emeh,” she finished, indicating the thin girl beside Uche. “They are both in Sapphire-Five.”

“Bonjour,” Emeh said, smiling. “How are you this morning?”

Carlotta nodded. She wasn’t sure the meaning of the first word Emeh had spoken. “I’m good, thanks.” She smiled back.

“You must be the Feddie Girl the girls in my dorm were talking about last night,” Yvonne squeaked. “They said your parents live in America.” In addition to her appearance, Yvonne possessed a mousy voice.

“Tell me something I don’t already know.” Carlotta shrugged and rolled her eyes.

“Is it true your mother is white? I mean she’s really white, n’est elle pas?” Emeh asked, her wide eyes staring at Carlotta as if she were something from out of space. “Pardon my French,” she quickly added when she noticed Carlotta’s irritated look. “I can’t help myself.”

Emeh had two large front teeth, Carlotta noticed, that kept poking out of her mouth as she spoke. Her appearance reminded Carlotta of a stuffed Easter Bunny she had seen in a toy store somewhere.

“Well, although my mom’s totally a white-American, being born in California and all, I really can’t tell you her skin’s white in color if that’s what you wanna know.” Carlotta’s mouth showed the hint of a smile. “She’s more of a light-tan, you know,” she said, and winked.

The girls laughed.

Carlotta ran her hands through her hair, tossed back her curls and asked, “So, what actually is the deal here? Why are we waiting?”

“We’re waiting for Senior Chidi,” Uche apprised. “She is supposed to assign us our morning duties.”

Carlotta noticed Uche held an object that looked suspiciously like the brooms she had seen her cousin and aunt use to sweep floors clean back in their home in Lagos State. It resembled a witch’s broomstick but without the long handle—basically a bunch of thin flexible sticks tied up together at one end. “Why do you need that?” she asked, indicating the broom. Glancing around the lobby, she realized that almost every girl had one, too.

“I don’t know,” Uche’s voice was doubtful. “My bunkie thought I might be assigned a place to sweep for my morning duty.”

“You must be kidding me. You don’t mean to tell me we are actually expected to work? I mean, really work? Like janitors?” Carlotta asked in an unbelieving tone. “How much are we gonna be paid?”

“Ah non,” Emeh remarked. Oh no. “You don’t get paid for doing your morning duty.”

“Oh, puhleease, give me a break,” Carlotta scoffed, rolling her eyes. The girl and her French were beginning to get on her nerves. “Why should we work if we aren’t gonna get paid? I totally don’t get it.” She tossed back her hair. “I mean, even if we are gonna be paid, I don’t want any janitor’s job.”

“Morning duty,” Sandra corrected.

“Whatever. I still don’t want any part of it.”

“Ah, you don’t understand,” Yvonne wailed. “You have no choice. It’s just like the chores you do at home. You don’t expect payment for them, do you?”

“Really? No choice, huh?” Carlotta gave Yvonne a daring look. “We’ll see about that.” She sniffed. “And as for chores, don’t tell me you guys work at home, too?”

The four girls just stared. They tried to make Carlotta understand that morning duty meant mandatory work that has to be done every morning, and without reward. They asserted that the school head girl said as much when she addressed the new students the night before.

Carlotta, who wasn’t used to boarding schools in Nigeria and hadn’t paid much attention during the speech, had obviously missed that part. She wondered what other unpleasant surprises lay ahead.

Just then, the Sapphire House prefect Chidi Anayo, flanked by two dormitory prefects, paraded into the room and stood before the students.

Even with the harsh light in the lobby, Carlotta saw Chidi looked as imposing as ever. She also noticed that the house prefect had the same pompous air like she had the day before, when she’d ridiculed Carlotta about her age.

Watching her strut to the front of the room like a majestic peacock, Carlotta instantly felt an intense dislike for the house prefect. She stood still and watched as one of the flanking prefects read names off a list, while Chidi assigned each girl to a duty as her name was called.

Soon, Carlotta heard her name. Donning a charming attitude, she sauntered up to the prefects. “Hi. It’s a great morning, right?” she volunteered with a bright smile. She looked meaningfully at Chidi but the house prefect pretended not to notice.

“Sapphire-One windows.” Chidi’s tone was clipped. She dismissed Carlotta with an abrupt wave of her hand.

Carlotta’s face burned. “silly naughty woman,” she muttered, and made to leave. If there were two things she despised, they would be—being ridiculed, and being ignored.

“Come back here,” a voice commanded.

Carlotta stopped. She turned.

Chidi was glaring.

The chattering in the room stopped. The air became electrified. The rest of the new students held their breath and turned to watch.

Carlotta hesitated.

Chidi’s lips tightened against her teeth. “I said you should come back here,” she repeated, this time spitting the words out, one by one, like fiery bullets out of a pistol. There was no mistaking the meaning behind the words.

Carlotta took a deep breath and returned to face the prefects. Her heartbeat accelerated to a new level. She tried hard to swallow her hatred and retain her composure.

“What did you say?” Chidi’s voice was low but distinct. Her lips barely moved.

Carlotta rolled her eyes and shrugged.

“Don’t you dare roll your eyes at us,” one of the flanking prefects yelled.

Carlotta eyed her with distaste.

Quick as lightening, the prefect’s hand struck out.

Carlotta ducked. The sailing hand missed her head by a mere inch. But Chidi’s palm followed and caught Carlotta at the top of the head. Smack!

Carlotta reeled back. She had never been struck.

Oh no! You just didn’t!

Warm blood flooded her neck and face. She felt like screaming and striking back, but instincts told her it was best to remain silent and bide her time.

You silly naughty woman! You’re so gonna pay for that.

“What did you say?” Chidi demanded in an ominous voice. Her eyes were hot black coals.

“I didn’t say anything,” Carlotta supplied in a voice that was thick with suppressed rage. Her breath came in short spurts. Her heart pumped furiously.

“Are you sure?” Chidi sneered. “I most definitely heard you say something.”

Carlotta ignored the hammering in her chest and continued to stare into the unblinking coals that were Chidi’s eyes.

Yeah, that’s right. I called you a naughty woman. [/i]Carlotta was a coiled dangerous snake, ready to strike at the next slightest provocation. She imagined the satisfying crunch the bone of Chidi’s jaw would make when her fist finally connected and a sense of satisfaction trickled down her spine. The prefect was her archenemy. And the jig was up.

The black eyes narrowed. “Don’t you ever, never ever again,“ Chidi hissed. “Now, get lost.”

Carlotta uncoiled, then turned her back to the prefects and strode to the door. When she emerged on the other side, she realized her hands were shaking.

It's about the hilarious experiences and adventures of an American teen in a Nigerian Federal (boarding) school. In effect you get to 're-live' those experiences through the eyes of a foreigner.

The book is a must-read! You just have to read it. Lol!

Peer pressure and outside influences can make or break a child. The kids spends up to half of each day with his/her friends, so go figure.

tallgal:
It's a shame most Nigerian parents abroad copy the 'ghetto behaviour' of bad parents abroad.

Well-said. I agree.

Books work wonders for brain development in children. Depending on their age, make sure they read picture books or story books.

canuck:
Parents who send their kids to naija boarding schools have no clue what they're exposing their kids to - From personal experiences of my contacts who did so, only about 20% of the kids turn out well, The majority of the kids are wayward because papa/mama dey obodo oyinbo dey slave for dollars/sterling.

It all depends on the situation, kid, the parents, and the school.

In most cases, especially where the kids raised in foreign countries are demonstrating head-strong behaviors, schooling in Nigeria may very well be a great idea. Nigerian boarding schools, at least the ones I've heard of, help to clip a rebellious child's wings and teach them that they are not the most important thing on the surface of the earth.

These days, children bred in Western countries pick-up bad behaviors from their peers, internet, etc, and the easy availability of computers and cell phones are not helping matters. However, if willing to send your kid back to Nigeria for secondary school education, you ought to decide if boarding school may even be a better shelter for your kids than public or private day schools.

A good instance of where boarding school has helped a rebellious teen turn out good is well-documented in the "Feddie Girl" novel by Nona David. Check it out. It's about the hilarious adventures of an American teen in a Nigerian Federal School and documents the whole juicy details from a fresh angle you've never imagined.

Those of you considering whether or not to send your kids to boarding schools can make up your mind after reading through this book. It is a non-biased fictionalized recount of an American girl's experiences prior to, during, and after the boarding school exposure.

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.

snow123:
I thinks that parents should send their children to Nigeria to attend both primary and secondary school  before they comeback to attend colleges  .B/c i travelled to Nigeria and noticed that those  children are so good academically more than children  i see oversea. especially those in private schools. It will be wise idea since most parents abroad can afford the school fees for Private schools in Nigeria.
What do u think?

In most cases, especially where the kids are demonstrating head-strong behaviors, this may very well be a great idea.  Nigerian boarding schools, at least the ones I've heard of, help to clip a rebellious child's wings and teach them that they are not the most important thing on the surface of the earth.

A jingle from 'Angel Soft' tissue commercial. It embedded itself as an ear-worm in my brain and I hardly got any sleep all night long. Aarrrggh!

Rawshyd:
I think u shud seek advice clegy men

Are the Clergies supposed to know about sex therapy? I thought they're all abstinent. How on earth can they advice on something they're supposed to know nothing about?

Everything is possible under the sun. It all depends on what you want and how you feel, etc.

Nothing wrong with it, provided he's single.

I agree with poster. Punishment and abuse are two different things.

Admit it or not the instances of 'brutal abuse' of kids by parents and teachers in the name of 'correction' are fast diminishing. I guess education has a lot to do with this advancement.

My little niece wanted bananas. Her dad said, "Honey, the bananas are for your sister who has worms so she can take her medication."

The little girl thought for a while and blurted, "I have earthworms in my tummy. Please give me the bananas now!"
