UK: You don't have to bring your Kids here anymore, we will come babysit em for you over there at ×3 the regular amount.

Naija Politicians: That's a nice idea, if you need free plots of land let us know

Broveens42:
You are very myopic

When the British was around, did you have 24/7 electricity?
did you have inter city rail transport asides the rail system for their selfish interest?
Did you have quality education without religious requirements?

During the Biafra civil war, the whole world witnessed an unprecedented level of technological innovation among the igbos.
if the Nigerian state had jettisoned marginalization, and keyed into their idea, in the spirit of the 3R, you would have been far more developed now.


Selfish development is No development

Where will the poor get 42m before?

Something about this post reeks of inferiority complex.

You are indirectly trying to say Nigeria educational standard is inferior. You are indirectly saying having a British teacher is better than having a Nigerian.

I won't be surprised if their tuition fees are in British pounds.

Our ancestors were forced to pick up the English language and the ways of the whiteman. But today, we are the ones even paying to do so.

Students from regular schools would still sit for and pass WAEC,NECO and JAMB/SAT2 therefore I don't see the advantages of attending these over priced schools.

Sorry, I have a few words for you, and I hope you won’t stop reading along the way.
It’s funny how you talk about being myopic while pushing a biased, tribal narrative yourself. You conveniently ignore the fact that Nigeria’s problems are systemic, not just about one tribe or colonial rule.

1. British Rule & Development – If the British were so bad, why do you think Nigeria was far more organized under them than it is now? No, we didn’t have 24/7 electricity, but the infrastructure they left behind was far better maintained than what we have today. What have we done since independence? Loot, mismanage, and blame others instead of fixing our own problems.


2. Rail & Infrastructure – You claim their rail system was for selfish interests, yet even that “selfish” infrastructure outperformed the useless projects our own leaders have attempted. Tell me, since the British left, what have our governments done with trillions of oil revenue?


3. Education & Religious Requirements – You talk about religious influence in education, yet you fail to acknowledge that most of the best schools in Nigeria today were established by missionaries and colonial influence. What have we done with our universities since independence? ASUU strikes and poor funding!


4. Biafra & Innovation – Yes, the Igbo people displayed remarkable ingenuity during the war, but stop acting like it’s only one tribe that has smart people. If Nigeria is underdeveloped today, it’s not just because of marginalization—it’s because of poor leadership from all regions. If Igbo politicians were so different, why has Abia State suffered under Igbo governors for decades?



Development isn’t about glorifying the past or playing the victim—it’s about taking responsibility and moving forward. If the Igbo people are as innovative as you claim, why haven’t the South-East governors turned their states into the “Japan of Africa” without waiting for federal support?

Nigeria’s failure is not just because of the British or one tribe—it’s because of a lack of accountability across the board. If you truly want progress, stop using tribal sentiments as an excuse and start demanding good governance from your own people first

Why is Nigeria so foolish. Don't you guys understand that this is modern day slavery. The British will come teach you then give one way ticket to escape Nigeria free of charge, you sit down and smile that you've made it. My dear brother you are a slave. These guys have designed necessary technique to take everything that you have.

The British brought Christianity but you've not learnt anything since then. Ask yourself how many countries are bringing there school program into Nigeria. Is it not clear to you all that you are still being colonised?

Whew!!!
I finally was able to read everything up there.

Let me also encourage our Nigerian based schools to also explore the possibility of establishing schools in the UK. I'm sure Nigerians living in the UK will also love the home away from home feelings also.

AmalaAtiEwedu:
u are suffering from a complex.

so u are saying no one should attend British primary and secondary schools?
u might as well tell people not to attend Oxford, Cambridge universities etc...

Bukola94:
LOL, na accent we go chop, the only thing I see about British school is facilities, environment and standard of education

Ewedegubbler:
