Shattuck:
this is false, aside Lagos I doubt if any south Western state is as heterogeneous as rivers or Edo state.

Try Have a tour of Oyo and Ogun state. Stop playing!

Alsenora:
If it is so there is no issue with that. South West population and size must also be considered too.

Of course, that's why there are stats based on percentile. In this case, the population doesn't matter

Warmaterial:
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.

Finish secondary school at what age? Lol. The boy inside this picture is less than 10 years or around 10 years, has he finish secondary school? I thought you people are only known for chest beating, I don't know you lie too.

Now tell me who doesn't apply sense between you and I now? Coming online to disgrace your generation. You don't even know what's illiterate, shame.

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.

u don't even know that the people of south east attending school in the south west that make the number no increase to 3.5 million

Bosman17:
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

Yeye...SE has more population than the entire SW...
Forget politics,if it is landmass I can accept but you see population,Igbos get population pass unah

Ofemannnu:
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.

Gibberish. Provide the stats to back-up your words, don't be regurgitating crap for me. Provide 1 stat where the SW is higher than the SE in Education.

Lest I forget, there's a new stat on FP; cities with best economy in Nigeria. Lagos is the only SW city in the top 10 while 4 SE cities occupy the top 10

See eh, the SW is in decline. That's the honest truth whether you choose to admit it or not. Since after Pa Awolowo, the other leaders in SW have focused on dragging y'all back but you're blinded by parochial sentiments to know this. Tinubu is doing an equally marvelous job at this.

Remember, the SE region was destroyed during the civil war and everyone who had money in the bank in SE was given 20pounds no matter the thousands or millions they had in the bank back then. Those guys started from zero but look at where they currently are.

If e easy, do am

Macphenson:
South west have almost half of out of school children in the south. Owomida is taking over education in the south west. Their kids are ascribing to be MC Oluomo.

Almanjiri and obinna for part shops dey part of the millions. Na only now your head dey process am say the statistics dey talk about yoruba only,but if it is the other way round you go say igbo develop lagos.

The population of Lagos alone is almost half of the population of the entire East

Macphenson:
South west have almost half of out of school children in the south. Owomida is taking over education in the south west. Their kids are ascribing to be MC Oluomo.

Yet night buses to the SW from SE is an everyday event.
Name one SE business that is up to even 48 years.
You don't have any.
I can name Yoruba businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years and still active.

Name one single tangible business SE people have abroad.
None except powder.
I can name 10 Yoruba businesses abroad and their links.
Almost in all spheres of life,SW trumps SE.

Best for them . Since they decided to worship agberos. Nonsense... SW ,Almajiri states loading ...

Young man, provide stats in education and stop making unnecessary noise

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.

Illegal south south... Don't you know majority of your so called south south land is igbo land too.

YemyTemmy:
Eranko.... Schools in the east are mostly fraudulent, those who are educated in the east got their education from the west.... Kiss the truth , best schools are in the west

As some that claimed to be educated you should know that allegations like this is better back up with data from credible sources. Please can you share with us documentation showing the number of people from the east that are educated and percent of them that got their education outside South East or better still the distribution of educated people from South and the schools attended.

When has it ever been sellable? Was it not also the reason why the North lags behind in every key HDNI metrics?

DrRasheed:
Out of school doesn't necessarily translate to poor and destitutes. The narrative about school being key to success is no longer sellable in the north

Bosman17:
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

Why shouldn't you have more children in school instead due to the same population?
The percentage derivative of the same also places the SE atop, so, what's the point?

There are so many stats, South West have been having the highest number of students that sat and passed WAEC every year, south west states lead in JAMB enrollment every year too.


South West also have the highest number of Primary, Second and Tertiary institutions in Nigeria to cap it all the best institutions in Nigeria are in south west.

[quote author=CodeTemplarr post=135710983]Hajj is more important to them now. Yes bro Hajj more important than this your weasthern education

Gbadebo19:
Tell me what those 15 million plus will do for a living. At least 50% of them will go into crime

. majority are farmers some are into business

Stop lying.
The SE trumps the SW in every aspect of education. It's a fact. The SW is actually the region dragging the South backwards in education. The SE leads, followed by SS and then SW. If not for Lagos, the SW would've been dragging positions with the NW.
Admit it, since after Pa Awo's death, development in the SW has stalled. Lagos is the only state saving the entire SW. In the SE, it's near impossible to find a family without at least 2 graduates. In my entire extended family, everybody has at least a university degree. I've never met someone who's unable to speak, at least, Pidgin English in the SE. Even my late grandmothers were able to speak English. The first time in my entire life where I met young men like me who were unable to speak English was during my NYSC in Ogun Waterside LGA. I, however, still miss my friends at Ibiade Comprehensive

You people have come again. Lol... Which one is that Oyo population is more than the entire SE? How then is the SE economy still better than SW apart from Lagos which is a melting pot for every tribe? How come this number didn't translate during the general elections?
You people should calm down with hyperbolic statements

Bar1941:
One-third of that number are people from other regions especially your southeast.

ok now 1/3 is now from SE abi? But when they talk about the Lagos economy you will forget that it's still the SE people that's boosting the Lagos economy.

zelnababa:
majority of those kids re from east selling gala in Lagos, Ibadan Akure, oshogbo, Ado Ekiti, sango ota., Abeokuta. Etc

ok ...but what of d igr generated from d south west....so u agree that non indigenous too from d east n south south contribute?

Macphenson:
South west have almost half of out of school children in the south. Owomida is taking over education in the south west. Their kids are ascribing to be MC Oluomo.

Lie most of the out of school kids are gala ,pure water, minerals and phone accessories sellers from the East

You can believe whatever make you sleep at night

Development have stalled in the West but most of you won't live in the El Dorado you built in the east. When it come to education in Nigeria no tribe is matching Yoruba, we have more educated population than any region in Nigeria that's the reason why there's no sector in Nigeria you won't see Yoruba dominating.

You can keep wanking on halfbake statistic as long as it makes you sleep at night Omo Ina

Macphenson:

On the contrary, The report never identify the out of school children as Yorùbá.
Those out of school children are mostly kids brought from the East to do nwa boy, house help that are not put in school and those kids of Northern children put into the begging trade.

Yemmysworld91:

I should be the one telling you to have a tour of Edo state. It is false to say the south west is the most accommodating.

Incorrect. SW is 6 states not 1. So are you saying that the 1.12m is all in Lagos?
