Thank you Mr Wike, your arch enemy Mr Amechi has set up more than 500 schools and employed over 1600 teachers to stem the tide, but you apart from reeling out statistics, what have you done?

Illiteracy level will keep increase except something is done urgently. I layman believes acquiring education will enhance better job opportunities alas we have so many graduates roaming the streets without job. So how do you encourage people to go to school when many of the educated are still jobless.

I agree, with Nyesom Wike as number one illitrate. He believes 16 > 19 and 5 > 27.

Needless to say PEJ is number 2 on the list with Bamangar Tukur a close third. GEJ is fourth! Followed by Evans Bipi

Relax Mr Wike. We have more pressing issues here.

Almost the same amount of Nigerians are mentally challaged. shocked

Coming back to the illiteracy matter; its the fattest lie of the century to say that the educational progress in fast developing countires like China, Brasil etc is majorly propelled by private efforts....and not government.

The subsidies, subventions, schorlarship, student loan, transparent admission, sound tutorship, up to date curriculum and standard infrastructure provided by their government is to say the least.

Very conservative estimate. At least half of North especially women.

Do they consider all those Amajiri people literate?

.

If you can read and write in any language then you are literate. Middle East has high literacy rate because they can read and write in Arabic or Persian, etc.

POOR DECISION MAKING CAN ALSO BE REFERRED TO AS ILLITERACY.
Re: 35m Nigerian Adults Are Illiterates — Wike by mbulela: 12:58pm On Sep 11, 2013
Freiburger: That is over 20% of the population, i.e 1 out of every 5 Nigerians, Thats just too bad for a country aiming towards being a world power.
Any proof for the bold part of your comment?

Re: 35m Nigerian Adults Are Illiterates — Wike by eagleeye2: 1:28pm On Sep 11, 2013
i guess some idio..ts will want to vote this illiterate into power if he comes out to contest.......
Why won't 35milion be illiterates even when a PHD holder in Zoology and a former lecturer doesn't see ASUU strike as an emergency situation, but believes everything wrong in the country is as a result of Enemies who wants to pull his government down.

Only 35 million? All those socalled educated elite that doesn't know their right from left that are destroying the country are what? where do they class them?

Education is not just the ability to read and write foreign languages, rather it's the ability to reason and be productive. A baboon like fani kayode might call himself educated because her can write ogbongbo english, but from all indications his iq is not better than that of a misguided preteenager.

Wike no even try at all. 35m out of over 160m? That figure is deceptive. I am sure Wike is among the illiterates.
