Nothing surprises anyone here. It is what it is!
The reality has always been there for all to see.

The northern guys can write in Arabic. Is that still illiteracy?
Pure lies, 85% of northerners can't read, write or even speak. Though if you get to meet the few ones that can speak, you will enjoy their English in hausa tone, just that you gatz listen carefully.

The person who conducted these stats doesn't know what he/she is doing, cause this is just to glorify the south west, if you know the illiteracy rate in this south west, he/she wouldn't come here with this stats and put southwest in 6th, they're best placed between 4 & 5 position, is it the region where you speak english to some of them and they'll get angry with you or ignore you just because they couldn't speak or understand english, same with the northerners, the south west is benefiting from the large population in lagos state that have mixed of tribes in there, that's more reason they don't travel to seek for work elsewhere apart from Lagos state

Can you write in Arabic? Of course we all know that we are referring to western education. And sincerely speaking how many Northerners can write in Arabic. The almagiri system of Islamic education in the North is in itself a promoter of all kinds of vice and not even Islamic literacy.

You should be more concerned about the thugs keeping you in a cage every Monday.

No amount of insecurity in Arewa land, you will never see a Arewa leader leaving his region to another region.

Unlike you people, your oyaneze leader was return back home from Lagos.
Backward mentality you have.Open your eyes to life.

Another serious indictment on the south east leaders.

The rest of Nigeria gives them billions in excess of what the South-East region contributes, the South-East region has the smallest land mass which is just about the size of just one Oyo state in the South West and are the least populated ethnic group of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria.

South-East should have the highest per capita yet they are always far behind in infrastructural and human development indices.

The current generation and leaders of Southeast have turned the region to a parasite with entitlement mentality. This is unfair to the rest of the Southern Nigeria.
This is a wake up call to everyone from the Southeast.

Do they want to read and write? Not when they are sponsoring BH(no to western books).
These are lie from the pit of hell. Those children from the north will easily write their name in Arabic.
Is English their fathers language?
Does that stop them from being an able entrepreneur or an engineer or a great researcher?
Some naive but acclaimed sophisticated people thinks English is everything and the only indices for being educated.

No wonder, one useless bagger from China who can neither write nor speak English will come to Nigeria and continue to Lord it over the citizens due to this kind of English slavery mentality people think that every white man is an English man.

Any arewa leader from bornu that's residing there?

Gej tried all his best to liberate your region from the shackles of illiteracy, but your leaders know that that's the second tools they are tying the people down with. Na their brainwashing tool, the second one is religion.
And probably this almajiri was born in the South that made him to attend even if secondary School. Yet he will be bragging about the north

Celestialsword:
The fact that you can't read,write or speak ENGLISH LANGUAGE doesn't mean you're an illiterate.

The northerners are schooled in Islamic education as majority of them can read write and speak with it fluently.

To me, they are not illiterate, they are abreast with local and world events as both local and international Media has Islamic coverage

An old Hausa Muslim in the north that doesn't understand the English language is well informed about local and international happenings than an old Man or woman in the east
Educational system that does translate to development of society.

It's not sufficient education, otherwise they should advance their society

2. The reason such a beggar can achieve such is only that the level of literacy is indeed appalling in those communities and areas that lack the skills to build bridges and repair infrastructure for themselves. undecided

By the way, Literacy isn't about whether one can or cannot speak English. undecided
