a good number of them have vvf.

while in 2 yrs you may not even see a case of vvf in southern specialist hospitals.


but up north they will spill from gynecology ward to female surgical

Do number of children by men and you'd be having crazy figures like 60s and 80s up in the north.

Guess where this kids end up?
Ur guess is as good as mine..

Statistically that would be a herculean task, because unlike in the case of women who can tell you the specific number of children they've had, men can't really tell you with precision the number of women they've gotten pregnant, or how many of the women who got pregnant for them delivered their babies.

How odd.

The most populous state in the country has the lowest value.

Could it be the literacy level

In 20 years, SS plus SE plus SW won't even be able to win elections anymore.
The wider the gulf between the population of Nigerian regions gets the more our seperation or conFederation of semi autonomous/independent regions become inevitable because the present electoral and constitutional system won't remain sustainable for much longer.

Definitely. It's supported by evidence that more educated the woman is, the fewer children she is likely to have.

Hence the strong campaign for increased funding for education, particularly of the girl child.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a priority of the northern politicians.

reason for the thread?

Nawa ooo..that's all I can say

Ok

Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44

Biafra land women don't have time for child birth, they spent all their times for makeup to attract their one night stand customers.

Arewa is a burden. See the load we are carrying.
