It is some kind good reality check for African children born in transit. It helps the grasps of things and see life outside virtual reality, racism,native dreams and uncertainty of not understanding who they are. It gives them something really to think about and look forward to. |

Great move. Reminds me of the 2005 award winning documentary film "Boys of Baraka" ....about troublesome inner city boys from Baltimore public schools sent for two years to a pretty much remote boarding school in Kenya. Very interesting and revealing. |

Their dad is right this is best way to instill discipline in these so called America born children. Is not that children born there are bad but the system itself is grossly corrupt and allowed your children dictate or you loose custody. Over there it is almost impossible to train and discipline your kids appropriately without social welfare interventions. Still, Nigerian society is fast becoming worse considering atrocities around us today. May God save us. |

The statement I'll forever cling to & teach my kids in the future. “Adversity is important in somebody’s development in life, because there comes a time when the storm is going to hit you, and if you never had that to fall back on you’re just going to fall apart,” - their dad |

ronald4lif: The point is, it must never come to light that you have it. America does not go after some law breakers; they come to them. lets say you have a series of parking violations, the cops won't go after you but one day, you will definitely get pulled over for some minor infraction, then all your records will be put out for all to see. Same thing with this. It takes one complaint for you to get in trouble. I consider myself to have dual citizenship but i would be crazy to let them know that. The government would tax the hell outta me and probably revoke citizenship status. it's been done before. |

This story is somehow related to us. My younger sister is married to an igbo man from IMO state. My sister's brother-inlaw has live in America for over 30yrs;got married and had his four children over there. they've become very disrespectful and lack morals,that they even openly insult their father. The man now decided to send his last born and only 14yr old son back home to Nigeria to come and learn some morals. He said he doesn't want him to turn out like the girls. The boy is now in boarding school in owerri. This man's second daughter who was a chronic lesbian just committed suicide last Sunday. She told her colleagues in the office that she would kill herself and she did. I don't know why its very easy for people to take their own lives these days. A 20yr old girl who drives a range rover jeep,their father has over 5 houses in the US,he makes almost 1million naira a month from each of his tenants over there,has other businesses too,so these girls lack nothing,yet they didn't feel like life is worth living without being reckless with it. A society where you won't be able to bring your child up the way you want. If you scold your child too much,they'd report you the parents to the authorities. O ga oo! |

bonechamberlain: I know, but the school prides as one of the best in the East and the facilities in the school can compete very well with some US schools. |

This Nigerian father has very good intentions, but I wish he will find another school that will help mold his kids better. Mea Mater does not give kids, especially those from the US, what it is portrayed to do. I took my kids out from that school, after one year, for another. The teachers are corrupt, the owner (Nnamani), from interaction with him, only cares about money and have no clue how to run a school for kids. In fact I made the decision to withdraw my kids after my conversation with him. And there is a high rate of turnover in the school management. The school changed their principal three times in the one year my kids were there. The after effect of all these is reflected on the morality you see in the kids of that school. I kept wondering why so much pilfering in a school that is supposedly for the "rich". The only good thing I saw in that school was their medical clinic. They have an in-house physician and nurses, in addition to overnight sick beds (bay) for kids that get sick. |

good move by him. He did what he thought was best. I wouldn't do that though. People raise well balanced and appreciate kids all over U.S. All the time. No need to run to Africa to train them right. Except they are visiting. Which they should often. 1 Like |

Their parents possibly aren't buoyant to finance their education in the USA. I think the mother made some mistake by allowing the father to send them to a nation where there is no infrastructure and technology. They aren't going to be smart at the end of the day. All he wants from them is to have them worship him as the culture of Africans dictate. That is a big shame on him! It is completely absurd and unacceptable anywhere in a modern world. That can never happen to me. I refuse to be used as a slave for my father. |
Re: Father Sends His US-born Teen Sons To Nigeria To Learn Gratitude by xp17(m): 3:25pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
sandrel:i strongly disagree with you ma'am. In U.S , kids between the age of 14-17 already know how to make some few cash after school hours. Unlike their counterparts in Nigeria where most of them; after school hours just drop their backpacks, eat , and start roaming around the street shirtless ,with Spider-Man underwear without any useful plans. Most Nigerian kids can't afford to support their families even when they turn 25. You see why these lads will think more reasonably and maturity more than their age mates living in the motherland. |

olokfor: I ve witnessed more of this while in secondary school, many oyibo kids coming to my school, and I will be like, "what da phuck"? Then, most of them will give the same reason, "parents wants us to come and experience life in Nigeria, and I think its fun". Its a good thing though, |
