Because guys are hustling big time. Most of the guys in my department don't even have a lesson note to jot let alone read. The only thing they do best is to flash their lousy life styles and all 1 Like |

Actually I think separate schools are a good idea, Boys and girls learn differently, Boy would learn more if they work as Interns at workshop/Lab e.t.c rather than sitting in a classroom memorising facts The current educational system in most countries favours girls. Sitting in one place and learning things like a factory worker doesn't suit boys and it shows Girls tends to do better than boys in school and boys are more likely to be prescribed medication for hyperactive behaviour/Poor attention Boys are not suited to learning things in a rigid classroom atmosphere 2 Likes |

babasolution: Why not start by providing reliable statistics to back your claim up? Or you rely on the number of publicly celebrated graduate to judge? That'll be a very flawed excuse 1 Like |

Chevrolet076: Yes,I rely on publicly celebrated graduates,its obvious both in secondary and universities that girls outperform boys in academics, going by the sheer number of publicly celebrated female best graduating students |
Re: Why Are Boys Suddenly Not So Doing Well In Universities These Days by 9gerian: 12:59pm On Nov 04, 2021 |
It is commendable that more women are leading the best graduating students. However, does the current statistics indicate a majority of the best graduates are women? This is where there can be a problem, if that is not replicated in leadership in the society and government (although we must first assume that formal education is the only relevant basis for development and leadership). I think there are some cases of ladies leading but not the majority. In addition, there are other life’s experiences that count for success just as much, and sometimes even more than formal education. Work experience, vocational Interests, acquired skills, training, boldness and entrepreneurship etc all contribute to the overall success of an individual these days, hence, formal education is one (quite significant) of the many items on the checklist for the enduring contributions and success of any individual. So please let the females continue in their strides, even as we encourage the men to own their own efforts too. Enough room for everyone. babasolution: |

Everyday we go through struggle and pain esp to the niqqas who barely feed a day nor provide basic needs, I read but can’t spend all this 6-12hrs shift because I’ll need money for so many things. It was never easy for A Niqqa 1 Like |

Hmmm... Just the way we are to ask ourselves why ladies aren't doing well.... It's time to drop that sense of judgement from one point of view. Not only boys that aren't doing well we have ladies who are doing badly in the academics. This is not the point of been dull or not been studious likewise. Some are born out of other factors we might not know. So certain claims are not to be generalize... And this one is not a subject that suit a debate... So the same way we have boys not doing well in school is the same we have with ladies doing bad in there choice of academics. Thanks..... |

addictiv: Interesting post. 1. Do you have any source that states that women are more intelligent all round than men? Or is this a personal observation? 2. I have read this from several posters here. Is this new pressure from the society or peer induced i.e. yahoo yahoo? If anything, the family pressure on boys to provide is reduced and more boys are sponsored by their families/wards in school. 3. True 4. Hypergamy is not a Nigerian word nor concept. 1 Like |

4gunners: Lol... My honest and blunt white friend once asked me "what is this white privilege y'all talk about?". Then it dawned on me that they simply don't see this racial privilege not because it doesn't exist but because they were born into it, so it's just normal. Have you ever hear the expression "go and marry!"? Well, people like Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, etc. must have lost count of how many times they've read it. Regardless of their success, the society expects them to have a man to be fully regarded. A young man who just got his first job would quickly get his own place and that's OK. When a lady stays alone, people are wary of her. Once there's a divorce, the only line we read on NL "Nigerian women of nowadays can't keep a home". Men cheating is not a big deal because men will always be men. Davido sleeps with different women, he is "OBO!", the women are olosho. All these are minor compared to those that have become systematic like the female child not inheriting properties, etc.. Yes, some women are well respected in society without anyone even caring if they had any husband or not. But like I said, these women had to be extra. 1 Like |

Raydos: You are not the first to mention this (even outside this thread). However, we have always had this educational system (mixed/single gender) which did not affect the performance of boys. Infact, our educational system is now more flexible. Is there anything different today? |

WoundedLamb:The points you posited do not really strengthen your argument. Remember, you said the reason female students are doing better in their academics is because they do not enjoy male privileges. On the contrary, a man can only be regarded in the society only if he is successful. Many young man are not taking their academic routes seriously, cos they feel it’s not promising. Men are even under more pressure to be successful! Like you said, you won’t appreciate the privilege you enjoy braised you were born into it. You and I know the women privileges - examples abound. |
Re: Why Are Boys Suddenly Not So Doing Well In Universities These Days by bukatyne(f): 3:39pm On Nov 04, 2021 |
WoundedLamb: How does your response tie into the OP or even my question to you? The tread is about boys not doing well in school; you said girls have to do very well else they become properties of men. You need to pick a side: If women are generally properties of men, then the men would dictate the level the women can achieve in the first place i.e. having a great education might not even be possible or help her case. In Nigeria today, most women (apart from the Northerners) are able to choose the lives they want for themselves. |

babasolution: The simple fact of the matter is that men have higher IQ's than women, are more likely to prevail in challenging/novel environments than women, and are definitely not prevailing in "hitherto male dominated courses like engineering and medicine" or in many other fields for that matter. If you are ready to show me even one body of data that show that women are even on par with men intellectually, I am ready to present you with 10. Wish all you want, but what was never there will never appear out of thin air. |
