Birth control is the solution. Nigerians like running away from this truth, people give birth without any plan for the children, building extra schools (Money matters - check the revenue of most states in Nigeria can't pay workers salary) to accommodate this number will only be a short term solution if we keep this high birth rate.

JudasNaCarrot:
Exercise in futility and dead on arrival because the culprits are the Northerners and their leaders who prefer the Islamic subjugation and oppression on their own people by brainwashing them to send their children to Koranic school but send theirs to western education.

The North is really pulling this country backward.

Leave sentiment aside, bros. Out-of-school children are more in number in the north, but there is no single lg in nigeria today that you won't find children not going to school. The politicians are to blame. Islam has nothing to do with it, otherwise this disgraceful phenomenon will be prevalent in all Muslim-majority countries. Politicians have failed Nigeria. Simple. If you're in doubt, why is it that we never had this outrageous number of out-of-schools before these set of useless politicians captured the country in 1999? Kudos to SERAP for shaming these thieves in power by internationalising the issue. You guys in SERAP deserve the highest national award. While money-worshippers are busy collecting and appropriating 10%, you are genuinely working for the masses in true, sincere Godliness.

If there was a way I could donate to SERAP, I would.

SERAP, nigeria government is more concern at the moment about Cows than children.

They accept donations..

An out of school child is vulnerable to our toxic environment and most who make it to adulthood are likely to turn around to become security risk to the community.

gradually almajiri education will be included in our national education system ,and their malams included in the national budget. The voice of SERAP but the hand of APC and northern leaders.

igbodefender:
SERAP is trying.

They once took action that led to recovery of N2.3 billion to Nigeria. What do you call that?

The out-of-school issue is not actually a problem of the south, but of the north.

And their Koran says Boko (book) is Haram( forbidden),
So they have not committed any crime by breading like rats and sending them to almajiri Islamic school instead of real school.

The truth is the country need to divide , the north and southern Nigeria will continue to have conflict of interest because we both share different values and beliefs.

Is ibadan on dat bus in north?
