i hope she gets into LGHS, i think LGHS is way better than Holy child...lol
I know you would say it's cos I'm an alumni, but sentiments apart, I have cousins that went to Holy child too so i'm talking based on experience. in terms of academics, morals and all, LGHS tops holy child. All the best with your daughter

Thanks. She wants to be close to her brother. That is why she herself is rooting for HCC. The choices were St Gregory/HCC or CKC/LGHS or Lumen Cristi/Presentation. The boy is now in St Gregory and the girl going to LGHS might present a big logistic challenge of shuttling especially on visiting days and vacation days. Iam still researching sha. I still have a lot of time to make the final decision. The Louisville Sisters are very tough and of a very high moral standard. So, not surprised at what they are doing in LGHS.

mamawin:
bunch of hypocrites. that's how it wasn't allowed in my daughter's school, until a white girl enrolled and we all waited for them to insist her hair must be cut, for where? if it were to be abroad, will they spare a black boy/girl to flout a school rule?

To me, it is not hypocrisy. The hair of that white girl is her natural hair. She did not put attachment or weaves. Will you for instance allow your daughter's hair to remain in her natural state and become afro. A black person's hair and texture is different from that of a white person. In my daughter's primary school for instance, parents have been told not to use beads and all sorts of colours for their daughter's hair but you need to see what some mothers put on the hair of their small kids in the name of fashion. If you sent the child home for correction, you need to see the so-called coming to the school to vibrate and insult teachers. You will see some with so many beads that the child's head will be heavy. Some mothers will use up to 12 different colours. So, iam sure for the catholic schools to avoid all these drama, they just tell you to keep your natural hair low and if you do not want, then you take your child to another school that allows all sorts of hair styles.

Yes it is a catholic boarding school. It's called Louisville Girls High School (LGHS), located in Ijebu-ode, Ogun state. It's a really good school and i would recommend it to any parent, though it is quite expensive.

Wa o. I somehow guess that it is LGHS since you mentioned the Sisters. Iam always checking their websites for information. That is one of my options for her. My first choice is Holy Child College, Ikoyi as the brother is in St Gregory. She passed HCC this year but i stopped her as i want her to be 10 years before going to boarding house. She will do HCC and LGHS next year sha.

Iam very happy at the low cut for girls and boys being practiced by the catholic schools. I really support it. If such is not there, some over zealous parents and those that want to show off will start buying Brazilian, Peruvian, India etc costing so much weaves for their kids and this cause something else in the school. Imagine, a kid girl spending hours at the school saloon to do 1milliion braids or fixing crochet braids.

uzolexis:
Lies, I went to an ajebo secondary school in all sense of the word "ajebo". Many prominent Nigerians had their kids there and the school fees was really expensive but we all kept low cut. It was an only girls school though, owned by Sisters of St. Louis.

If you do not mind, can you give the name of the school as i guess it is a catholic boarding school. Iam planning a catholic boarding secondary school for my daughter next year.

Baba, I don apologies since ohhh, but its all good we are coming back to the original purpose of this thread,I had a dream once we pass page 419 normalcy will return,Im sorry for all the disturbance me and some people initiate on here, but it was necessary to clean and get rid of those misrepresenting this wonderful thread, now we have removed the parasites from here we can all happily move o n, once again I offer my extreme apology to the house,baba I have my kola, brandy, ciroc,SAPELE WATER,Push me I push you plus Ogoro on table.

Why akpeteshi no dey?. Na that one i dey take rinse mouth for morning o.

EgunMogaji:
Apology soundly accepted Sir but it was all in a joke anyways

Listen, you and others on here motivated me and this is why I try to motivate others too. I thought I had to retire first and move to Nigeria before I can build (buying an already completed house is out of the equation for me due to my taste and needs). But seeing all you guys on here doing your builds gave me the confidence that I didn't have to wait for retirement before I build.

In your defense though all you saw was my little chicken padlock that sits next to the main house

Good decision. I have always believe that you do not have to retire first before building your retirement home. I have already built mine in the village and i still have sometime to retire. My Sister-in-law and her husband in the US have already built theirs in the village. They are presently in the village from the US on a month long vacation with their kids and the kids are just running all over the place enjoying themselves with fresh and cool breeze.

spyder880:
You are right EgunMogaji, I was horrified to read his intention to leave us and I knelt down and begged him to stay. I am happy he accepted. Hajj Mufutau is a man I dream to meet one day in the near future. He is just full of wisdom.

No just worry yourself. Once Hajji wants to open that his 'poor' man's mansion, no be only am go open and chop the rice alone. Iam ready to start fasting and taking purgatory 3 months before the time.

mufutau55:
This is getting good... We don get one apology.... Now where is Mogaji himself, Maverrick, Ericko2, and others with apologies o...
I mean to everybody and everyone... so we may clear the ground and move to clean slate.... Everybody, oya apologies o.

I personally apologize to people here for trying to close this thread and threaten to quit Nairaland... (None of the threats worked anyway )

Hajji M.

Suppose you try am, you for just see me for front of your door for obodo oyibo with 'Edo Airways'. From Lagos to your obodo oyibo abode na 5 seconds journey by 'Edo Airways'.

EgunMogaji:
I'll allow you to dump them on my site for free

On a serious note I salute your choice of land.

Like you I bought in the outskirts and with a great view.

Personally I don't know why anyone that has lived in a first world country would aspire to buy inside town proper.

3strikes:
Egun I have to cover my face to say this..your build is coming up nicely and its bigger than I thot.

Am sorry I yab your build back then. I apologize.


I pray for Godz speed and more $ in your pocket.

Cheers!

Iam really impressed with what iam seeing.

Starting from @egunmojagi , mavverick and the rest !! Please this forum is not for EFCC or to track defaulters' if you know you where duped go to the nearest police station and report 'let peace rain !!! Please I need more pictures ' I want to start correcting my chicken legs pillers .

You mean you still haven't corrected that 'chicken legs pillers'?. So, which updated picture did you show us the last time?. You better go and correct it before it turns to 'cricket legs pillers'.

Oga abdulwastecx, a very good job you are doing here.

Please can you help me with an estimate(materials, labour etc) to plaster a fence of 120ft x 60ft of 10 coaches. It is only the internal part that i want to plaster as the external parts are on other people's land.

EgunMogaji:
Oh the apology will never come from Brabus but my resolve is equally unshaken.

Facts:

I was his biggest supporter.
He has never stolen a red cent from me.
He insulted the artisans on my site.
His work is actually worse than those local artisans.
I will collate all the negative feedback written by others on him to show that he's not any better than those local artisans that he insulted.
This is not a Brabus vs EgunMogaji thing. It's a Brabus vs EgunMogajis artisans.

More to come as I'm getting my second wind after my Nairaland vacation

PS: Nothing new will be added, created or fabricated. It will all be copy and paste from existing threads.

Don't you think what he called your roof that has made you to go all out for him in this manner was not a joke?. I hope you know that so much jokes are being cracked on this property section. Take the joke of AZUH's pillars for instance that was called all sorts of names.

Btw, iam neither in support of Brabus nor against him. Iam also neither your supporter nor against you. Iam just a neutral person.

thehappyman:
guy let start using made in Nigeria. Let analysis it. That car sold at 1.5million goes for around 3million by Toyota. When you pay you paying for the brand name, you will also pay over $1000 ffor shipping, handling and custom duty. The total of the two would be around $3000. Let assume the profit margin is $1000 we are looking at $4000 the total cost added to a $12,000 car will be between $4,000 and $5,000. Don't forget Labour cost is cheaper in Nigeria. With time there prices too will go up. Am just analysising to you it can work, let help promote ours too.

Please post more information. People think because of the price, it is not reliable. They are forgetting that custom duties, exchange rate, clearing, bribery etc are out of the equation. Just imagine the savings on clearing and custom duties alone. Iam sure when Dangote refinery starts and fuel comes down to something like N100, they will also say it is fake and unreliable fuel. Cars manufactured in India are very cheap because of cheap labour and constant power supply in the industrial estates.

Maross:
Thanks alot but isn't presentation an all boarding school? Besides, i think the fees are far above my budget.
Pls, any other recommendations?

Why not take a trip to Presentation and find out the fees and also if it is all boarding?. In addition, Catholic schools make a provision for a flexible payment plan. If i was in that Benin axis, my choices would have been Lumen Christi for Boys and Presentation National High for girls.

I was monitor and always been calm and joke now and then until Madam Lastpage insult my Dad, this is why I deploy the full venom of okere juju on her and her scamming crew.

This is the stuff for Nollywood o. All this change of names upandan.

I still refuse to belief that lastpage was a woman and then became a man. For what purpose? Did she not know that she would be found out?

I think she is too intelligent to fall for this kind thing o. My opinoin o.

Has nobody done any business with the 'real' LastPage to disprove all of these accusations?

Pass me more crayons abeg.

I have on several occasions requested that this thread be locked, but since we don't have any Moderator here, it was not done.
So I just sit down and look... Thanks for the concerns.

Hajji M.

Hajji, do not lock the thread. Iam reading some good and great exposures here that i never knew was happening in this property section. Sometimes, it is good to quarrel as it brings out information you never thought of.

twinskenny:
sir you should be holding a chieftancy title now sir.. If therr is anything like that..

If there is none, they can create one for Hajji now. There is always first time for everything. Na person dey start something.

EgunMogaji:
Some years back while living in North Texas, a raccoon decided to enter my attic to setup shop (garage was mistakenly left open overnight).

So for a couple of days there it will make all sorts of racket up there.

If you walk by a certain section of the garage, she'll growl and hiss. It was actually quite entertaining.

Then I went and purchased a Raccoon cage.

I set the trap up there (folks you do not want to come face to face with a Raccoon while on a ladder

Few hours the Raccoon was caught.

I had to wait till the morning to drive out into the monies to release it.

I happened to be restoring a car at the same time in the garage where I kept the 'coon.

Everytime I walked by to grab a tool the Raccoon will rear up, hiss, paw at the cage to get a piece of me

(Neighbor said shoot the dam thing already, but nope I'm Mr. Environmentalist).

Hours later when I finished my work on the car I was restoring, the 'coon had tired itself out. It wouldn't even move from a sleeping position any more when I walked by

In fact when I went to release it back into nature later in the morning I had to purposefully nudge it out of the cage. It was all spent and worn out. It was hard to imagine that this was the same boisterous animal I had caught in my trap earlier

I am EgunMogaji, I know how to trap, domesticate and release wild animals

PS: The clean up in the attic required strong chemicals because you know wild undomesticated animals just pee and shyte everywhere

bebe2:
Good day ,

Just thinking aloud.

Is it ever OK to send kids born abroad to boarding school in Nigeria?

My brothers in America did this for all four of his kids, they all went to adesoye college . Second brother did same. Loyola jesuit.

Now am considering all options as my kids grow older.

What are different advantages and disadvantages of sending kids to boarding house as oppose to letting them stay in Europe and continue with their schooling

Iam sure many people here will tell you that you should not try it and that boarding schools are bad. Are the day schools not equally bad.

To me it is a good idea. You can have a talk with your brothers. If they were satisfied with the conduct of their kids after schooling in Nigeria, then you are good to go. My son told me that there are four(4) people in his JSS 1 set presently that came from abroad. Two(2) from US, One(1) each from Canada and UK. The problem with some of the boarding schools especially that of the Catholic schools is that they do not have common entrance centres outside the country.

EgunMogaji:
So Spyder880, Skimanski, Aventures, Bitswork, AbdulWastecx no dey wack?

When was the last time you read of them scrambling for crumbs on here.

When you're good, honest and practice excellent customer service then the clients will beat your door down.

Besides "Note: Please no products or services advertisements... there are plenty of other threads for that already. "

How come you did not include your 'friend before before'?. When was the last time you read of his google based solution images here?. When you are good, even the Governor will beg you to come and construct 4th Mainland bridge.

glogirl:
please where is brabus?
is he banned?
I miss him.

It seems he has taken the advise of people that he should go and actually and practically be a 'building solution provider on the ground' instead of being a 'internet based google building solution provider'.
