The boy was seen with his bag fully packed when he arrived at the school to start his studies.

He was not sad and seemed to have adjusted to life quickly in the school where he was enrolled.

His mother wrote on TikTok:

"After homeschooling my son his whole life and travelling to over 65 countries together, saying he’s now in boarding school in Nigeria definitely catches people off guard. But here’s the thing, I went to boarding school at 9 & so did my mom. If you grew up in Cameroon like I did, then you know it’s normal. By Form 1 / Year 7 (middle school in the U.S.), my friends and I were heading off to boarding school. That experience shaped me, and I wanted my A to have that too."

She said her son is very outgoing and knows how to adjust to new places, but he had complained that the classes were long in his new school.

Her words:

"He is very outgoing & adjusts to new places like it’s second nature, so boarding school hasn’t been a big change for him. He already has lots of friends, & it feels like he’s been there for years! I’m very shy, so I know I wouldn’t have adjusted like that. Lol. His only complaint that first week was how long he had to sit in class. Since we typically homeschool for about 3 hours a day, that was something he had to get used to."
