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

Florblu:
It is better for your kids to get corrupted "adorably"Most boarding houses in Nigeria are nothing to write home about.

Amoto94:
I will advise you to send them to a good day school as the evil that's going on in most of our boarding schools are unspeakable, or better keep them over there and teach them manners yourself.

Adesoye College Offa!!!!!!


The thing is, it doesn't necessarily have to be boarding school. It's more about sending them home to grow up in their land so as not to forget where they came from.

I had a classmate in senior school, his parents are based abroad he's living with his uncle in Nigeria, after sec skul, he went back to his parents abroad.

So, bring them home and let them learn about their father land and not be, "they said Nigeria is *****", or "I wish I know what Nigeria exactly is"

But at the same time, different strokes for different folks

Dats Wat I wud like but there is no one they can stay with.

bebe2:
Day school is not an option. There is no one they can stay with in Nigeria.

It's not necessarily about manners it's about culture and having a different experience.

Lol @"adorably corrupt"

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.

Amoto94:
I will suggest Nigerian Turkish International College if you want to bring them home

barackodam:
You mean you don't have any relatives you can bank on in Nigeria at all?

Then they shouldn't come if that should be the case....

At the moment Nigeria is very unstable, uprise of the Niger delta , the Biafra movement in the east and boko haram in the north. I won't risk it right now. I'm very pro Nigeria and patriotic, at the same time I am very practical and would not take unnecessary risk especially with my kids. Most Nigerians that can afford it are sending their kids abroad and those that can't are sending them to Ghana. The Educational system in Nigeria is messed and the few good private schools are overpriced or full of spoilt rich kids.
