Where is Jesus College, Otukpo, 1954?
Maybe it’s the popular ones then that are represented. St. Joseph’s College Vom that I attended was established in 1958.

The school anthem I can never forget till I leave this earth 🌎

UP SCHOOL

Lives are in the making Here
Hearts are in the waking Here
Mighty undertaking Here
Up and On.

We are arming for the Fight
Pressing on with all our Might
Pluming wings for higher Flight
Up and On.

Chr: Up Boys, truest Flame
Lies in our endeavour
Play the game, keep the Flame
Burning brightly ever.


Likewise, the words of the school song are already ingrained in my blood. I can never forget them. I taught my children those words too, despite that they never attended the school. 1974/79 set

the person doesn't. My secondary school (St Paul Anglican Grammar School, Igarra, Edo state) was founded in 1938 and I can't find it here. This liat only mainly concentrated on South West. It has nothing to do with Nigeria.

Looking at this list, I can confirm that The church is truly a blessing to Nigeria. Even now the Church is still leading the course in terms of Higher Institutions. I'm not trying to be religious but let's give credit to The Church.

Welcome to the Holy Ghost College Owerri Class '95 Association Official Website. The school was founded in 1949 in Owerri Imo State. As a group, we have given scholarships to top-performing students, rebuilt the school's second gate, and given back to the teachers who mentored us as students.

This list shows the foundation of education in Nigeria.

Most of those schools educated people from all over Nigeria without prejudice to their origin.

Very true. At No. 36 on the list stands Aggrey Memorial College. Beyond being my school of tutelage, many a genius and men of iron passed through that school from various parts of this formerly great corntree
