Just like in every ranking, the North will still find a way of bringing Nigeria far down the ladder. Poverty and early marriage are major causes. The few fortunate northerners will make us believe everything is well with the north. 38 Likes 1 Share |

A complicated country with complicated issues. Poverty mixed with ignorance is the underlying factor of most of our problems in this country. Poor singles will be cajoled into getting married with the erroneous belief (ignorance) that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. On top of it all they will pressured to keep making babies without recourse on how to cater for the mother and unborn child. Due to poverty and ignorance rather than seek proper help they will rely solely on prayers and good wishes which seems cheap but costlier in long run when complications arise. 7 Likes |

Everything bad, we are leading in the world, so we aren't surprised abt the MMR in Nigeria. Poverty, ignorance and disease is a cycle.... Break the first and the others will dissappear. |

When baby factory is the only purpose given to African females instead of education and empowerment, why won't they be dropping like flies? It's not like the offsprings they give birth to become inventors. They always exhibit animalistic tendencies. 2 Likes |

As a doctor in a hospital in Northeast Nigeria, Nigerian women of the northern extraction are 8 times likely to die during pregnancy compare to their counterparts in the south. Pregnancy here means the period from the time fertilization occured to 42 days after delivery no matter the duration, site, and mode of termination of the pregnancy. Almost always, the pregnant women want to be alive but the men who has the capacity and capability to help their wives do not really care possibly due to mere idiocy or the common lackadaisical attitude towards women common to the culture and/or religion. Most pregnancies here are not planned due to the common mentality that God gives children and he'll provide for them. The women just like most african mothers are willing to support financially to make ends meet in the family but the cultural and religious inhibitors usually prevail in the society aggravated by the vicious cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance. So, the women are not empowered. The situation in the northeast mirrors the situation in other northern regions of the country. The northern leaders are selfish, wicked, and unpatriotic just like most leaders in all other regions of the country only that the northern people are disadvantaged by the above vicious cycle pointed out with geography and topography. The solution to the high MMR should start with empowering the Northern/Nigerian girl child through free and enforced basic education, scholarships, financial empowerment and sustainability through job creation, skill acquisitions, cultural and religious reformation, women advocacy, free maternal and free under five health-care services in all the northern states of the country sponsored by the state governments, individuals and organizations, equipment of hospitals and primary health centers with basic facilities for maternal and under five care, training and periodical retraining of TRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANTS, incentives for health care givers in the regions and to attract others clustered in other regions of the country, reasonable remuneration of health workers in the country to keep them around (I'll soon leave the region and country for good due to poor pay and devilish work conditions). Truly, the MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE/RATIO and UNDER FIVE MORTALITY RATE is very high in the country mostly due to the northern burden and almost all the causes are preventable. 11 Likes |
