Olodo community grammar school nko?

Devil is a liar. What is my Alma Mata doing on the front page of nairaland! See this guy! You are mischievous but I won't let you have your day. I and some other buddies graduated from that school you posted and we are doing well academically.

On a lighter note, the name of my school can make one fail waec without recourse to one personal brilliancy. The supervisor will just be like, nothing good can come out of the school that bears this name and mark everyone down.

Dayum.

I rep ABU now sha.

LawdOfNairaland:

Cayroy4u:
we made C.O Adebayo former minister for communication, past military admin. and former Governor of kwara state Alhaji Mohammed Alabi Lawal ...

I know. Now, compare them with the alumni of each of the schools on the OP!!!

The oldest secondary school in Nigeria till date is BAPTIST ACADEMY OBANIKORO LAGOS

OP, if you write 7 most prominent secondary school, and you didn't put the secondary school that produced Fela. The greatest and most worldwide recognized Nigerian ever. Then you are a big joke
He went to Abeokuta Grammar School

Other Notable mentions are

Igbobi College
Baptist Academy Obanikoro
St Finbarr College
St Gregory College
Eko boys high school
Birch freeman college

These schools have hundreds of thousands if not millions Alumni scattered all over the world representing Nigeria spectacularly well

Opinionated:
It is generally believed that Nigeria’s education system currently thrives on past glory and that the ‘good ol’ days’ are light years behind. While this belief may not be totally out of place it could be refreshing to know that things have not always been this bad. In spite of the steady but certain decline, some of the older institutions still enjoy the benefits of the reputation they have earned over time and are still held in high esteem till date.

The list below is a profile of seven of Nigeria’s most popular and prominent public secondary schools as a means of remembering the good old days. The schools are mentioned in no particular order and the list should not be taken as a ‘best of schools’ list.

Happy reading…



CMS Grammar School (CMS)

The CMS holds the undisputed record of being the oldest secondary school in Nigeria. It was started in 1859 by Babington MacAulay, with financial backing from the CMS Training Institute, Islington, UK. Babington was a Nigerian picked from the Fourah Bay College and sponsored to England to train as an Anglican Priest. After his return, he proposed successfully to Henry Townsend, the Superintending Anglican Missionary at that time, to start a high school in Lagos instead of being transferred to join one in Sierra Leone. In 1859, Babington started the CMS Grammar School with 6 students and four rooms at ‘Cotton House’ on Broad Street. He served as principal until his death in 1879. CMS is today located in Bariga, a suburb of Lagos.

Among CMS’s notable alumni are, Herbert Macaulay (son to the founder), Odumegwu Ojukwu (later transferred to Kings College), Otunba TOS Benson, Ernest Shonekan, Akintola Williams (distinguished chartered accountant) and brother, Frederick Rotimi Alade (FRA) Williams (Legal luminary), Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti (Yes, Fela’s Father), Musicians Dare Art Alade and the ‘Gongo Aso’ master, ‘Nice’
