SHow me read data, not sentimental bullshit. The era where y'all pedal lies as truth is over.

Ofemannnu:
SW has the highest number of Professors,lawyers,doctors,ICT gurus etc.

The population of Lagos and Oyo cover the whole south eastern states. So numbers of people within geopolitical zones matters.
Lagos alone is more than the SE in population according to all data like Jamb registration, NIN registration and etc.

Literacy rate determined by percentage showing the one of 2021 takes into account the population.
If 3 people out of 4 are educated in the SE.
6 out of 9 are educated in SW.
The percentage goes to the SE with only 3 educated people but SW has more educated people with 6,,the remaining uneducated people are usually the Nwaboys and Almajiris.

This is how we know an educated region:

SW 99% of the youngest PhD holders in NIGERIA.
SE has none...

Here is a list of the youngest PhD holders in Nigeria. The oldest is just 26.

1. Dr. Olabisi Adeyemi, 26



This young intellectual earned her PhD in Botany from the University of Lagos. Though she had maintained a track record of academic success right from her secondary school, she acknowledged that having a PhD at her age, and the record of being the best graduating PhD student, did not come easy.

Born in Lagos Island local government of Lagos state, Dr. Adeyemi attended Girls’ Academy, Lagos Island where she was the best student in WAEC, with seven distinctions. She proceeded to University of Lagos and graduated with a first class degree in botany in 2006. She completed her PhD in record time in 2012.

2. Dr. Opeyemi Shodipe, 25



This young Nigerian scholar received her bachelor’s degree at 19 from Babcock University. After the mandatory NYSC programme, she entered for a masters at University of Ibadan, graduating best in her department.

She capped it with a well-deserved doctorate degree in information science from her alma mater, Babcock University when she was 25.

3. Dr. Salihu Dasuki Nakande, 25

Born in October 1987, he is one of Nigeria’s youngest PhD holders, and arguably the youngest in northern Nigeria. He graduated with a first class degree in information technology from Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), North Cyprus at 21.

Dr. Salihu completed his Master’s degree at Brunel University, UK. He capped it with a PhD from the same university in 2012.

4. Dr. Olaoluwa Hallowed Oluwadara, 24



Acclaimed as one of Africa’s youngest PhD holders, Olaoluwa is a spectacular Nigerian intellectual and scholar, because of his achievements. He entered university for a bachelor’s degree at 15. He earned two B.Sc degrees in mathematics and physics, from University of Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR), run simultaneously. He received his master’s degree from the same university.

He crowned it with a PhD in mathematics at the University of Lagos, Akoka, where he was the best graduating PhD student. Dr. Olaoluwa H. Oluwadara won University of Bangui’s all-time best student award from the department of mathematics, best BSc student award in physics, 2007 and best MSc awards in physics and mathematics respectively in 2008. He currently is a research fellow of the Mathematical Analysis and Optimisation Research Group.


5. Dr. Nkemehule Karl Omebere-Iyari, 22

Dr. Omebere-Iyari, received his PhD in chemical engineering from University of Nottingham, UK, in 2006, then aged 22. This amazing Nigerian, an old student of Kings College, Lagos had 8 As in his WAEC result at age 16.

He was the best graduating student in chemical engineering that year. With a university scholarship, Omebere-Iyari wasted no time, and pursued his PhD. He received a EU grant of €17,000 every year, and finished his doctorate in the record time of three years, specializing in multi-phase flow. Omebere-Iyari has distinguished himself as an exceptionally gifted Nigerian.

Since graduation, he has worked with many multinational corporations such as Shell, Halliburton, etc. He earned an MBA with distinction from INSEAD/Wharton, and is a member of many professional groups.

6. Dr. Romola Adeola, 26



26 year-old, Romola Adeola recently made headlines when she set a record in being the youngest person to obtain a Doctor of Laws degree (LLD) in the 30-year history of the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria.

She is also the second youngest person to achieve this in the Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria since its establishment 107 years ago.

She distinguished herself by completing the LLD in under 3 years. This record is in keeping with a pattern of excellence which Romola has maintained since her undergraduate years at Lagos State University (LASU) where she was awarded the Taslim Olawale Elias Prize for the Best Student in International Law.

Olodo, did you bother to compare the overall population of southwest and southeast, then judge the percentage based on population
There is no need everyone know it for you to make it you must come down to Southwest ask P square, Obi Cubana and co, because we don't distinguish never make us forget .... out of school in every region will have to count both indigenous and non indigenous out of school in that region... and we all know that aside Yoruba next is Hausa people that are accommodating in Nigeria ... the two will give you space to excel in their community without any questioning except you disagree with them
Re: Out Of School Children In Nigeria by Olabest911: 7:37pm On Jun 11, 2025
Everything should not be about tribe.

What is the population of each region compare to the number of out of school children
Re: Out Of School Children In Nigeria by PHIPEX(m): 7:38pm On Jun 11, 2025
ALISMILE:
Thats because the south west accommodates most of the children of the people of the South East, South South, North west, north central and the North east.
Note that I’m from the South South.
Keep deceiving yourself. How many Igbo kids have you seen out of school in Lagos?

Is your region the only one accommodating others?

You have not compared apple with apple… the population of Oyo state is perhaps more than the entire south east combined… so it’s normal their’ll be more out of school children in SW.
What is however strange and unfathomable is that their are more crimes and criminalities in SE and SS region despite their fewer population
5mins research would have saved you from globalising your ignorance. What's the population of Oyo and SE? Continue to hid under your massive failures while the North catches up with you

South west has the highest number of non indigenous people in the country. That's a factor for the numbers they have. At least half of that figures are non South Westerners
this is false, aside Lagos I doubt if any south Western state is as heterogeneous as rivers or Edo state.

Ofemannnu:
They had their country during regionalism and all liberty to show what they were made of,they still were backward compared to the SW.
It was the SW that later helped them by giving them tv,radio,newspaper etc.
They were all fleeing to Ibadan then because it was the most progressive and developed region in Nigeria even more than Lagos.
Stop the delusion.
Boy go back and read your history

Full ignorance on display. Lieraracy is measured by primary school attendance. Those in shops are already done with schools. That's why they easily outsmart you in figures and logic.

Compare their IQ with the almajiris on the street

you guys keep telling this lie of how our are the most accommodating, aside Lagos, we all know why Lagos is kept aside, tell me how ekiti, ondo, ogun, and osun, is more accommodating than Edo state or Rivers? How is Lagos even more accommodating in the first place, I am from Benin I know growing up even in secondary school we have neighbours and friends from different backgrounds who aren't Edo, so how is the south west more accommodating in Nigeria, the way out guys always flatter yourselves.

Continue with your delusion.
The North has already pushed SE into the latrine educationally.


https://www.nuc.edu.ng/

According to the NUC website which can be accessed seamlessly by any interested researcher,there is now a shift and a takeover by the Northerners as the Igbos are pushed off the sidewalk of Professorship into the 3rd position in the rank of who has the higher number of Professors between the two educational gladiators.

SW still continues to be the stallion and champion of Education in Nigeria as the number of their Professors is almost triple that of the Igbos according to the Directory of full Professors in Nigerian Universities.
Kudos to the gallant Igbos just as the Northerners are also heralded into the second position of Professorial hierarchy in Nigeria.
Welcome..

try to always get your fact right before coming here to disgrace yourself. In population yoruba is not bigger than the Igbos forget what they're telling you.

Look at stark ignorance.
The definition of illiteracy and how it is measured can vary across countries and regions, leading to different interpretations of literacy rates.
While primary education is a vital component in the development of literacy, illiteracy is not solely determined by it. Other factors, such as socioeconomic conditions, language proficiency, and the ability to apply literacy skills in real-world contexts, also play a significant role. This is where you would know that SW people are more educated than SE because they have been,able to apply their education to achieve more by having highest number of lawyers,doctors,engineers,ICT gurus etc.
They excel even abroad more than the SE people.

you don't always apply sense before coming online to disgrace yourself. In Igbo land is a must that you must finish primary school and majority secondary school before going to do boy boy because doing boy boy you be writing receipt for customers which an illiterate cannot do.

Why you are trying to defend and spew this trash is because SW ranked highest in the whole of South. If it were to be the SE that have that SW figures I'm very sure your line of argument would have changed, and insult the SE people
Bigotry at its peak. I'm Hausa man by the way.

Some people will not like this. South East disappointed them yet again. SE governors need to do more in free education down to secondary schools to reduce the numbers. It's too much seeing 664k children hawking, begging and roaming the streets.
l doubt that figure of 664k out of school children in SE,where I'm based it's almost 100% school enrollment, during school hour, you'll hardly see school age children roaming around
Re: Out Of School Children In Nigeria by Alsenora: 8:25pm On Jun 11, 2025
If it is so there is no issue with that. South West population and size must also be considered too.
