DrFunmisticGlow:
where is lagos?

Doesn't it make more sense that lagos with a higher population and a cultural melting pot should have a higher single motherhood rate? Something is fishy with this study

And who will look after the kids in Lagos where you don't have close relatives to help out?

Who count am?

South South men are mainly sperm donors

Lanre1st:
There is why they lack home training

Did home training teach you tribal bigotry?

Arostar2023:
I guess you should ask Statisene because that's what they used in their analysis.

To my knowledge single mothers are those who gave birth outside marriage.

givedemwotowoto:

Did I mention any tribes here

Your statistics not right Bayelsa too high, check well again 🤷

SpatialKing:
Hope people from South West will question the source of these data....

This data is very correct
Igbo women hardly re marry as widows

The stat is questionable but if there is any truth in it then it should be because of ur last sentence

IduNaOba:
Igbo women rarely remarry when their husbands die.

I like how most of you are pretending like it’s only death (widowhood) that turns women to single mothers Keep lying to yourselves, we all know the ppl notorious for exporting prostitution to foreign lands. Una full everywhere and you and the Binis are fighting for supremacy in the trade in places like Ghana and Italy
I’ve seen several igbos persons saying it’s forbidden for igbos to marry bini ladies because of this very thing we are duscussing A typical case of pot calling kettle black but it’s fine, keep pretending.

I wish we had a credible and accurate statistics board in this country.There are no good database to verify on how we run our affairs.Nigerians generally love to make reference to current and historical facts but most times it's often based on lies, half truth, sentiments, suppositions etc.Statistics are there to serve as guard to the future.

Have people considered this factor: Perhaps Igbo men marry later in life. They want to make money first.

As per nature, the older you get, the closer to the end of life.

As a kid, I observed that most Igbo guys married late, So the chances of leaving young kids behind increases generally.

Ojiofor:
To my knowledge single mothers are those who gave birth outside marriage.

Yea. I agree with you. "Widows" would have been more appropriate.

If I had not seen Bayelsa I would have doubted the statistics

You lied! What Maiduguri epicenter of Boko Haram?

What of Kaduna, Jos and oyo

Worrisome trend.

Cros river state has more single mothers than Imo and Abia combined

seunayantokun:
Nonsense

Because it wasn't what u were expecting

Had it been a south western States or edo topped the list it would've make sense to you

Link to the source of their data. Just writing numbers like inec`s election results.
Btw is there any death database in Nigeria?

OlujobaSamuel:
This stati sense go just dey post nonsense without any scientific methodology claiming it as fact

Ol boy,I no agree with this cockeyed stat...let me tell you something, bastards full everywhere in South West!not widow o, Yorubanza women just getting pregnant for different men anyhow .na yorrobanza wmen Carry world cup for that shi... . reasons why you see agberos,alagbos,touts low life degenerate and deviant littering everywhere just like their northern almajira criminal born trowey twins,!

Ashawoman82:
Guys if south West state no make top 5, then this is obviously an invalid stats... Single motherhood is like a norm here I swear, infact u are 20 without a child as a Yoruba woman, ur family can despise u... It's so. Common that Yoruba parent wish for it.. They don't care...

Wrong assumption! Yoruba women whose children have no father are disrespected! You are identified by your father's house and father's family! That is where the notion of "Omo ale" and "Omo oko" comes from

Not that they don't want to remarry but how to contend with hostile relatives which is the cultural issue prevalent in the East.

IduNaOba:
Igbo women rarely remarry when their husbands die.

Yes
They prefer to just dohookups...

IduNaOba:
Igbo women rarely remarry when their husbands die.

Yes
They'll do hookups instead

Houseontherock1:

but if you'll be frank with yourself, you'll know it's too common in the west here... Like Yoruba parents even want it.

I've been suffering for long due to my single mother

.....from a hopeless guy in which his tribe doesn't even know if bastard kids exit, the tribe that would marry single mother and claim all the children of that woman and change their name to his own surname and their biological father.

Indeed, Igbo is just a little bit advanced than animal.

So that they can return to the former calling.. oloshoism . Large percentage of ladies in brothels are single moms from !gbo
