A national embarrassment anyway.

Japan attained national literacy in 1900. That’s 224 years ago. When will Nigeria attain such a feat? Without doubt, education is a factor in fighting poverty.

Stkilda:


A significant percentage of Niger Delta is Igbo.

I just made a valid point . And it's just so valid.

How many people are in south east schooling?

Aldol:

Hausa leave their families behind in the north ,the men only come to do business and that's all

Funny generalization. You've obviously not been to Idi Araba, Alaba Rago, etc. They have communal enclaves where they live with their wives and kids.

nomadreporter:
It's a lie. I can say that with confidence because I worked in the agency for Non-Formal Education which gathered such statistics in my state. SW. We normally cook statistics in order to get grants from international donors. I can bet it, the total number of out of school children in SW can not reach 1%. What are they doing at home, even the poorest of the poor strive to enrol their children in private school.

the statistics is moderately correct. Out of school children in Lagos alone is massive

Please 124 year ago. Please check your calculation.

But the whole of north population is more than every region so expect any figure to be higher.

samdaisi:
Okay, it shows that those guys failed to capture those children that are selling Gala in Lagos and in other regions, again it's the smallest region

The one they recorded as out of school are those one hawking agbo and quick action in every corner of southeast.

Aldol:

The eastern kids in the West enrolled in schools far outnumber the Northern kids. If you're talking about settlers that are contributing to the high numbers of out of school kids in the west, The SE isn't significantly represented.

ganilas007:

It's higher by both absolute numbers and percentage.

That 3.7% in the SE are the children of northerners living in the region.
Also same with that of the South West.
Go to Agege and Ebute Metta you will confirm what I have said.

Aboki no like schl normally

Na Yoruba Muslim cause southwest that figure....

This lists is so highly biased against the north, although there are many displaced persons in the north who are displaced by bandits and boko haram living in idp camps contributing to the high figures, There are many who are attending almajiri system, indeed almajiri system needs to be formalized by the fg so as to avoid confusion like this

I know a lot of people would come here to laugh at SW forgetting that there are many people from other regions living in the southwest. The research was done based on location and not nativity. If the non-natives were excluded, you would see the data drop to 2% and below.

Nawa o

3.7% is an insult to the south easterners, 0% should be the target please. We can do better so our children won’t mistake protest for riot .

Odogwu!!

Reduction in south of school drop out was because the mother's in south are hardworking, today, it is those mother's that are responsible in sending their children to school.some father's are responsible in sending children to school but few of them, in the northern part, mother's are not allow to work,the mother's are not allow to come out, therefore the father's probability of sending most of their children to school will reduce and drop out will have to increase. In the north , you will only see man in the market except the others tribe

Islam is to be blamed

You see one of the reasons they want Igbos out? They can't stand the competition. They prefer the north that can be handled.

Alexis11:


Chinedu if you check well, you will see that the guy you replied is Igbo same way you are Yoruba.

ori e bi ori ebuka

Goodvibes007:


See as the mod rush the thing to FP 😂. If we post similar ones like how SE are the promiscuous, highest rate of HIV, highest terrorism e.t.c. it gets put in the dustbin of Nairaland.

Lies from hell your region is known for that,we are not stupid here.

The Gala sellers are 3% of SW figure. Add them to their state of origin

How many people remain for SE eru dem no go go school. All of Dem don run come SW making the percentage go up.

Yes, it takes a while to settle down in Lagos when people come in through night buses.

ojex004:

South East drop outs are being counted for South West since they refused to stay for their region.
