Please, how do we assess literacy. .?

Because since I left the shores of this country, I started having a 2nd thought about it.

What about MILLIONS OF CHINESE who only speak and write mandarin., Yet are involved in COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND GLOBAL MARKETING JOBS..

EVEN president Xi jingpin of CHINA can't speak ENGLISH fluently

you lie. 5% south south OK but not East because of the following reasons:-
1. have helped a young igbo man less than age of 30 to fill arrival card in the airport.

2. I have helped an igbo boy of less than 30 years of age to read and send sms.

3. My late grand mother communicate in English but never step her foot in school.

4. I have seen with my eyes, several villages in Ebony state where they teach mathematics in Igbo language... e weri nka, ti ye nka.

5. In Delta state, everybody speaks English or pidgin unlike any other state. FOREIGNERS DONT NEED INTERPRETER WHEN COMING TO DELTA COS EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH OR PIDGIN.

Even yorubas are not too educated as they claim. I have seen a beautiful girl in Ibadan, she was 24 yrs. and dont understand English or pidgin.

I first said to myself, there is no way UNESCO can be right on this.

And then i logged on to Nairaland, and started reading all the write ups of Wailers, and i am like, you know what UNESCO?you might just be right on this one.
You are an "illiterate" too for misunderstanding the post. The illiteracy refered to here is the ability to read and write. All nairalanders are literate for the mere fact that they can read posts and comment on issues irrespective of the 'mumuness' of such posts. Take your annoyance elsewhere. Good morning.

In life everyone learns,but an illiterate is one who has refused to learn.
Illiteracy is not about where you have been,but how open you are to learn for the advancement of society.
An illiterate is one who has no learning culture.
It is different from attending school.

Is hausa, fulani, yoruba and oda minor languages or oda states like west/south and even middle belt more educated thn igbos?? Despite that people always hav d mind set that igbos like doing business does nt mean that they are nt educated...

The main language in china is mandarin... They read, write, speak and understand mandarin..

English is not a standard for literacy..

Nigeria has st:upid leaders.. If not the local languages will be used in schools instead of english.

Too much sugar causes pile.. Soft drinks have a lot of sugar in them.. So they also cause pile..

It depends on the person's body and what triggers pile in that person's body..

All these international organizations and their lust for unverified statistics. It still baffles me on how they drew their conclusion based on survey tracking, with the mention of Katsina as probable case study.

65 million is really on the high side and it's indeed scary... Hungerbad and Balloski, the wailers you're referring to are not stark illiterates, some, though not all are educated but not enlightened. A case study of a chief wailer accusing the opposition for chasing him from Facebook, whereas he was only asked by Facebook to verify his accountundecided
