The National Council of Catholic Women Organisation of
Nigeria on Thursday warned against the alarming drop of
male-child in education.
With the drop, the group noted that in the next 10 years,
there would be a scarcity of quality husbands in the
country.
The organisation National President, Chief Felicia
Onyeabo, stated this on Thursday at a briefing to herald
the inauguration of Cor Mariae College, Abuja. The
inauguration holds on Friday (today).
She said, "The future of this country is going to be very
bleak for the male-child. How many girls do you see
hawking clothes? Go to Onitsha, they are all men. We
have looked round and have come to see that there is a
neglect of boys in education. Who are the armed robbers
on the streets? They are mostly the boys. Let us
concentrate on training boys.
"The NCCWO feels that a vacuum is being created, and
very soon, we shall be faced with a situation where our
educated girl-child will not find a corresponding suitable
boy-child to marry. This is because more boys drop out
of school, apparently because the high rate of unemployed
youth discourages our young boys from appreciating the
need to be educated.
"The NCCWO also consideres the fact that in the near
future, quality husbands will become extremely scarce,
with too many highly educated women looking for
husbands, and settling for anyhow husbands, just to get
married. The result of this type of situation is better
imagined and will not augur well for Nigerians." http://www.punchng.com/news/husbands-will-be-scarce-by-2023-women-group/
