A private school in Nigeria |
“I no blame dem”, I muttered under my breath in
annoyance. “Wetin concern me with dem before?" I asked no one in particular as I
gunned the engine of the car and zoomed off to my next destination. I was at my
wits end. “Who be the ‘dem" you ask? Well, ‘dem’ happened to be some private
elementary schools visited in the course of my search for a suitable school for
my ward, a search I had grossly underestimated. Going by their signboards,
there is an ‘international’ private school in every neighbourhood; in fact my
residence is situated adjacent to one.
