@globalti – yes, then as now, wealthy Nigerians used to send their children to my school back when I was there (eeek – nearly 30 years ago! 😯 ), we had several princes, one of my best mates was the son of a Lagos surgeon. Used to meet them when I was on hols in Lagos!

Left school nearly 20 years ago.

Let me see, off the top of my head in my year we had:

British
German
French
Swiss
Taiwanese
Cantonese
Ghanaian
Bornean
American

Not bad given there weren’t more than 60 kids in a year when I arrived.

A twist to it is for me oddly enough at times is that I envied trying state schooling as the cost involved shocks me still to this day. Could of probably purchased a bike frame co by now if saved from the greedy MF takers which would be the slime ball heads!

but then..

Why have children and send them to any school at all..?

1. Because having children is a gift/blessing in itself

2. Because education (in whichever form suits best) is the best* gift that you can give a child

Err, that’s it!

edit * second best after unconditional love and support?
