  2. ojogbo says

    The best way to grade schools is by looking at the people in the society that are at the pinnacles of success with high rectitude of conduct and integrity and knowing what secondary schools they escavated from.

  3. percy says

    well, every school claim to be the best which the actually are, feel the best, come from the best, and always be the BEST. The grading dont matter but what matters must is how this so called best secondary schools can change this country. COMMAND SECONDARY SCHOOL JOS mos’nt be in the grading because we grade schools just like what that dude did. “may be he must be an ex-comando.” nice concept.

  4. Chuka says

    Hey,i think that LUMEN CHRISTI INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL,UROMI should be in the ranking,they had the best waec result in 2007

  5. abidemi says

    well i think this ranking is preety correct but there should be IGBOBI COLLEGE YABA there its the best school in nigeria other than queens and kings college

  7. Ibrahim Musa says

    How was this list compiled? Because i do not know how Demonstration Secondary School Zaria, can be omitted in any form of Secondary School list? I know the US embassy would agree with me. Plz Nigeria is a big country, i suggest u do things with this in mind next time. thank u

  8. Wilfred Obotong says

    Did I mention a Dinning hall, and each of the houses contain at least 3 houses and Green lawns as ‘a matter of rule’…everything about the school is over sized and I think this talk of comparing the school to CKC/Christ the King College and Kings College overdue and unnecessary. These two school have produced ‘greats’ but only one of the three has the ‘truly greats’. The other day I went to Salomon Brothers (Currency Champions) and was happy to find some blacks (Nigerians) still around and many of them were among this so called Umuahians Old boys…one only from CKC.

  9. Wilfred Obotong says

    I think Government college Umuahia is its prime and in many decades was the best and trully ‘most high’ school in Nigeria. The school is seriously indisrepute but how can any state maintain or any government in Africa maintain a secondary school with lawn tennis courts, with cricket ball field, with 5 and then 11 power boarding houses, two majestic assembly hall not even available in some Universities in Nigeria, A.D blocks, two big fields including a mini stadium, a golf course, a fine arts studios, two chemistry labs, prefects council block, School captain’s (S.P) office, an ever green quardrangle, y juctions with a tarred road leading to the Masters/teachers quarters, then principal quarters which is a duplex, school tailor’s house and office, school museum, police headquarters, School farms, badminton court, the Library, Administrative Block and classical music hall, School Court (abandoned) and for the many years provided the background to African literature…Gabriel Okara, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okidigbo, Elechi Amadi and so on. Government college umuahia is not in the same category with many of the above mentioned new schools and as much the academic power of the school has faded with its tradition, Government college umuahia has been there and done that and perhaps LOYOLA can have a say if it can hold to its new energy and eventually make to the top of ten for half a century. Like the umuahian spirit speak quitely of Government college Umuahia (Robert Fisher High School). Keep shining

  12. obi says

    thanking all – the complaints and comments have give me more ideas to select schools for our daughter who is presently in london and looking forward to schooling in nigeria – cheers to all

  17. Alo Yetunde says

    st saviouir’s high school should not be at the 17th position it should be one of the first ten.

  19. Wole says

    Where did you get Negbenebor from? What was the criteria for selection? It is difficult to select best secondry schools in Nigeria. It should be done by best schools in the states. The list should definetly include Immaculate Conception College (ICC) Benin. The best school in the state.

  20. estee says

  38. I. Onwuka says

    Government college Umuahia…who else? Kings college, I didn’t think so. The gulf courses alone should set the pace.

  41. dayo says

    No doubt Kings college & Queen’s college are highly rated schools in Nigeria (Thanks to Past glory); Igbobi College,Yaba is on of the top rated schools in Nigeria, it povides all round education for boys and check out the number of NOBLE NIGERIANS that has gone through its gate. There are only two secondary schools in Nigeria-Igbobi College and the rest.

  46. chic says

    how come?dis is wonderfully dangerous cause DANSOL HIGH SCHOOL lagos is not in the list.could you please give me an answer?i want to know.and how come no school in lagos is listed?this is CHEATING!!! DANSOL HIGH SCHOOL is the best, it offers all the education you want in this life including moral,spiritual, social education.its not fair
