Homo superior

You should have told her you are the first person to have evolved into a homo sapiens in your entire village. Ode of a reporter.

Some element of truth tho

I'm not even in Boston now. Phone number indeed.

So you no go drop number. I am asking for my brothers oh. Anyways I try sha.

Thanks, aunty  Smiley
Yup, live in Hyde Park (SEFAGO, don't stalk me)  Tongue
Few minutes away from Dedham. Used to live in Roslindale too.

HEHE, dont worry, I am the laziest person in the world- stalking needs a lot of effort. I never like to leave my laptop.

But seriously though cut down on the info you place online. Before we know it you would give us your phone number, then chic2pimp, H2O2, and even becomrich would be calling you asking you for dates so that they can have smart children.

^ multitasking darling

chic2pimp:
I never said that Chrisland was a top school however I willing to have a wager on chrisland being better than the school you attended   

Who cares, I want fight joor . Pissing out of this thread- the thread/trouble ratio on the politics and romance sections is way higher than that on the education section

chic2pimp:
Chiogo should thank me jare.
When this thread was first opened, hardly anybody posted however once my magic hands re opened it, compliments are flooding in like there is no 2morrow

P:S Did someone just mention the name of my primary school? (Chrisland)

olodo

_{Chrisland is an average school} (SEFAGO is bored about all these lovey dovey stuff)

I went to Oluwole school of hard knock's. Then I graduate with my agbero degree with flying colors top of my class. Now I can jump on any bus in mid movements- no one can shout "Oshodi Oshodi, better than I can "

I was gonna cross out that question, like you would answer. Cheesy You went to Adesoye!!

Ha know that's a private school and its not in lagos. Is it because of the yoruba name hehe, you thought it was a public school.

H2O2:
i'm probably the nicest person on NL

i couldn't hurt a fly, technically

But you could damage a fly sha no be so?

That's the problem. It's weird when you're being nice.

Yeah it seems H2o2 is a big asshole on NL.

Chiogo has an an amazing achievement, I think I smell jealousy Cheesy
And yes. at 9yrs (or whatever age they test students) my baby sister ( a PUBLIC school student) had the Highest Test Score in the State of Louisiana.

true congrats chiogo- enjoy your moment of glory (sefago, holds his fingers to prevent himself from typing any derogatory statement  )

What school was that?  Grin Was it boarding? My sis went to one. Usually people living in VI send their kids to Chris land, etc.

Don't worry , a lot of them are on nairaland though. But it depends on whats the fad- during my time it was adesoye, olashore, Atlantic halls, loyola jesuits, vivian fowler and lagoon.

smart naija people seeing how nigerian parents select schools based on how expensive they are and not how good they are set up shop, and before you know it schools like lekki british international school, british international school, dowen college came up.

FL Gators:
So you were staying with me because you had no choice, so much for "loff"
10% wale, 60% access to acct, I'm good. Did I tell you I was even interested in Wale himself.

We never got married, oya waka. Let rich men see me

. i am covering you like the secret service cover the president.

FL Gators:
What is na wa?

Anyways, you may choose to believe me and take what I just said serious

But seriously tho, I'd go for the rich celebrity if I had a choice between you and Wale

But Wale is likely to cheat like all celebs (Tiger woods ), while poor people like me with no game, would have no option to stick with you, have you considered that? You could have 100% me versus 10% wale

Anyways, i am hiring a divorce lawyer, but right after I clear my credit card debt- thank God we signed a prenup

FL Gators:
Yes, it is by force.
And I dont know what loff you ppl are infatuated with.

So you have never considered loving someone who is poor? So does that mean you ignore broke guys

Na wa oo

FL Gators:
A broke@$$ aggin or a rich celebrity.
Men, tough choice huh, roll eyez

Wale is not rich. And is it by force that you have to marry someone for money? What about love?

You know you can't be married to both Wale and SEFAGO. Pick one.

She has made her choice infact we are on our honeymoon now. FL Gator is just fronting.

Ah ah, [b]Victoria Island is now a village?[/b] I miss Amala sha. Grin The equivalent.

Thats where i lived, not where i did secondary school. i did secondary school on the mainland and i think it was the best decision my parents made for me. It shaped me into a survivor- lagos public school no be small joke. In between fights with rival schools which involved broken bottles and wooden sticks, as well as studying for math exams, and being bullied by seniors (who consistently too my pocket money until one dey I vex for them and set a trap which got most of them expelled ), school was crazy.

Dont you just miss Nigerian food? No matter how much you get outside the shores you just yearn for indomie (the ones abroad dont taste like the one in naija), pounded yam (the fake processed one is disgusting), fried plantain )except you live in the south), even tom tom and fanta.

I used to enjoy the taste of coke because it was a luxury, now that I can buy a thousand bottles it has lost its taste.

chic2pimp:
And you had the Guts to criticize Chiogo

Please quote anywhere I said I was better , I said it wasn't all that- you guys should kow the difference. I didn't even include primary school where I used to carry the whole class on my head consecutively

chic2pimp:
You have a better chance of taking the last position in your secondary school than you have of being a valedictorian

I actually came last in secondary school once- just once though.  , the good old times, I missed like a whole school session playing gameboy especially pokemon red or was it silver. And I used to get flogged all the time for not doing my homework so I used to just miss school. Now I am better lol, funny how people could change.

chic2pimp:
Valedictorian is an academic title typically conferred in America upon the highest ranked student among those being graduated from an educational institution

hehe, some of us confer it on ourselves not only in america. sebi me too I be valedictorian for my village secondary school. Abeg let me go and chop my amala joor b4 it turns into stone, all this school talk is making me hot and bothered.

H2O2:
what is meaning of valedictorian

I dont know either actually, I just saw chiogo and so I joined the thread.

FL Gators:
Dre, Pick 'em, ah, Pick'em, I'll shut Them All Down
Haters in the crowd, if you see 'em point them out

(Wale)

H2O2:

Ki lon she eleyi?

You're right - I am aiming for the big fish. You do the same, no be by typing essays on Nairaland.

I think my time is better spent chasing girls and causing trouble I already know my level, I am an average student and I dont aspire for higher. I just criticize and encourage more academically brilliant people. However, valedictorian at University is a big thing- I would personally create the thread if you make it. Even Phi Beta Kappa is impressive (Very few black people make phi beta kappa).

What I want is national/international achievement.

How you gonna steal one of my favorite lines? And you didn't even say it right.

U like wale too? Weird I thot he wasn't really popular. Yeah I truncated it a bit to fit my purpose.

I dont know why People like to Diss Southern Public Schools.
Not the same public system where my kid sister had the highest standardized scores in Louisiana

Now if this is true that is worthy of a thread. It is likely not true though, especially if she is related to platinumnk hehe

Well, it does say something about quality. Original is always better. C'mon, if Public education started here, you really think we have the worst education compared to those who emulated us? I'm just saying. Grin

I don't know about New England being known for prep schools, I can only speak for Massachusetts, which is just a small part of New England. I believe Public schools are the most common. Private and Charter schools are there but there's no proof either of their high quality other than the students pay 30k a year. Heck, they don't even take standardized testing like the MCAS(Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) while for the rest of us, it's a REQUIREMENT to even graduate high school. Of course, they'll take the SAT's but that's with the help of teachers who are continuously prepping them for the D-day.

You're right - I am aiming for the big fish. You do the same, no be by typing essays on Nairaland

Ok good point.

chiogo:
^Yeah, Boston Public Schools. 

Chic, don't mind him, told him he's too cocky for his own good. 

I do have the right to be cocky, disc jockeys jock me. (Wale)

, I am not cocky just realistic.

Hope you know Boston public school is the oldest public school system in America, the education def. can't be that bad compared to the south, going by what I heard anyway. But you my friend, your type motivate me. This is mediocre abi? I'm aiming for the bigger fish now in college, keep an eye on your newspaper.

Doesn't say anything about quality. How many magnet science schools are in Boston that attract the best students who decide to forgo top prep schools? Massachusetts, like most areas in New England,  is better know for its prep schools than its public schools. Public Schools in the south are only bad when its full of minority students by the way. Aim for the big fish- valedictorian at college. Even aim higher, your excellence would make me happy. I am treating you like my child, wanting the best for you now  .

So I thought Undecided  Grin
Also did he just say your school was mediocre? Shocked Shocked Shocked   That boy no dey shame sha

I didn't say it was mediocre. I do have a rough idea of the quality of the school, but that is my business. Do some research on the school if you want, and have nothing to do.

By the way Boston Public schools were famous for being segregated. Anyone with a good knowledge of American history knows exactly what that means .

I agree you don't have to be supersmart to get into cambridge however you do have to be very very smart.
Man those family friends of yours are very rich cuz Harrow is a prestigious and expensive college(the only school that has a higher degree of prestige is Eton College)

Also, my cousin did not attend a public school, however he did attend one of the top state owned schools(on par with public schools)

Yeah that gives him an edge- I was arguing with someone on NL about the importance of a good high school foundation in preventing black people in the west (America/UK) from doing well in standardized exams and GCSE/A-Levels. My family friends who went  to these expensive private schools would not be able to even survive with the math geniuses at all those government colleges in Nigeria. However, the edge they got as a result of their wealth and slightly above intelligence got them to their present position.

Yeah they are very rich- most were poor like us, until the interim government of Abdulsalami after abacha died- during this period, I think these people had unlimited access to the coffers in Nigeria and their kids left after primary school for boarding school in the UK. Its just sad that their kids were given so much more opportunities while denying the uneducated masses in Nigeria a similar opportunity. People claim there is something called "karma" but I don't think it actually exists. As I said let me leave my politics behind.

FL Gators:
See as dem put chinchin's first and last name on NL

@SEFAGO
ketiree?!

Kini eleyi? You no dey shame?

Hey na, see me see trouble. So I cannot criticize again. Anyways congrats to chiogo- I would take my socialism and pan-african politics elsewhere.

Congratulations again, as I mentioned earlier I was never a good student in secondary school so this is impressive 

I like chiogo a lot, she is a very cool girl. She is actually one of my favorite people on NL. However, I am in love with you FL Gator so no worries . I would not have made this remark if I knew her previously on NL.

^ Boohoo, congratulations chiogo- lol, i forgot about that. Sorry for my bad manners.

I still stand by my position though, we should be celebrating nobel laureates, and advancement of Africans in science and business. Anyways, I just have a totally different view of the world, I apologize for imposing it.

But I just want the best for my countrymen/countrywomen

rhymz:
I could ve sworn this thread was about Becomrich,na wa O! Na so this boy unimportant reach? so tey frivolous bickering btw two kids steal im limelight. . . Lol. . .Some peeps can just bore U to death with their biographies.Abeg make I grab breakfast and get busy with more important stuff. . .

hehe funny guy, I like you

I'm not that smart Embarrassed I'll just say my high school wasn't very challenging, moving from Naija.

See wetin I talk. The school is a typical public school in massachusetts . I just spoke the truth. I had a roommate who was salutatorian in his class at the best secondary school in the US. Asian kid, wicked smart. He was unable to get into a top school because of his race (Asians are held under very high standards in college admissions) and he transferred out to one of the HYPs. I never really liked him, because he made really racist remarks about black people and their intelligence, but one thing I stand by- brilliant boy.

Mind you: I am, even though you dont need it, a bit impressed, but its not worth all the noise- I just feel it was highlighted to give Africans some little pride, which is not what we need- we need big pride.

I made this statement because after my observation of achievement in America, I feel Africans should not be looking at small cheese but looking at the big picture.

H2O2:
you're gay.  stop spewing such rumor.

haha you are beginning to talk like a oyibo. You are so gay 

chic2pimp:
I just had to dig up this post  
Why am I not suprised by this dude's reply?

, but I thought it was college actually. Thats the truth- valedictorian doesn't mean much except if she attended a magnet school. Her High school is not a magnet science school, neither is it a top private (Philips academy, St pauls, tafts or choate).

Stop down playing your achievement jare.
If it was that easy, we all would be valedictorians as well.
You remind me of my cousin who got into Cambridge Uni and still he wasn't smart. Yea rite

Well getting into cambridge doesnt really mean that you are super smart though. I know four close family friends at cambridge- what i noticed what they were very rich though combined with some intelligence. I admit they were way smarter than I was  Also they attended public schools- one attended Harrow, the other Winchester, and the two girls cheltenham ladies.

Did your cousin attend public school? If your parents compare you to him point that out to them. Nigerian parents like to do that a lot. My dad keeps on comparing me to his children's friends even though these people are from wealthy backgrounds.

Wetin poor man pikin like me go do? I am a scholarship kid. See if my dad was smart he should have joined the Nigerian government a long tym ago

chiogo:
Isn't that the case with many places? There are some areas dominated by them but there are definitely areas dominated by Blacks and Latinos.
If you're going to Harvard, then yea, you're gonna be around them MOSTLY. The Bostonian accent is cool.

Its ugly it sounds a bit trashy- especially the girls, lol, its like something from a movie. Hehe anyways let me not make any judgements au revoir.

chiogo:
And he's still here.

Well, I have exams too in a week and half. Never study till the day before. 

See I dont do that- my exam is on friday- I started last week. I know I have to start early because I have a short attention span. I actually have a bit of an attention disorder which I struggle with and I dont take drugs for it. Its tough doing well in school when you cannot pay attention for more than 5 minutes. So I work harder than the average person. Like I can be in the library from 12pm till 5am the next day. I also a perfectionist, so if a project is not perfect I go crazy. I could spend 3hrs correcting a sentence in an English paper just to make it sound perfect.  Or I could keep reading a line in a textbook until I understand it even if that sentence is insignificant to my exam.

Anyways you are correct I have to go away.

You're coming to Harvard, eh? Don't worry, we'll meet up when I get there for my grad too.

I am considering it. My other options are terrible right now so i might end up there if things dont change. Is the place- Boston- full of oyibo people? I have friends from Boston but they are all Irish, and they have this weird boston accent.
