Definition of illiterate: unable to read or write.

I still don't know why the North always top this list despite the fact that majority of Northerners can read and write in Arabic language.

This is a region that has a working system before the arrival of the colonial master. They have their schools already and this is the reason till tomorrow the Nigeria Army motto is written in Arabic.

for over 3 years, that South East una dey mention had nothing like a functional school.
South West, una no dey shame as una dey here dey beef South East.

All these owomida guys wey full every wia,be are among the educated so?

ProudlyLagos:
pain is that you? Why should the SW having the lowest illiteracy rate be a surprise to you or anyone? Sw started free education which most of your ancestors benefited from, and till today they still maintain the lead…..education tourism still tilts to Sw region which host most A list school and also highest number of professors

Funkymode:
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

1. So, the average Northern child can communicate fluently in Arabic -- speak with ease the Arabic language-- is what you are trying to have us believe, right

2. What has being informed about international gossip to do with 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.

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

amazingspiderma:
Educational system that does translate to development of society.

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

Thomasankara:
[/color]rote learning is actually different from organized form of learning, many of them can't really put down what they read into writing [color=#770077]

Celestialsword:
✓ Yes,an average northerner can understand and communicate effectively with the Arabic language.
✓ Being informed and staying abreast of happenings and events both locally and around the globe is not gossips but education

Celestialsword:
✓ Wrong, they can write,as they started from their formative years.They are proficient with it.

➜How, nearly all the middle east countries are Islamic countries and they are doing well.
➜ It's only in Africa that you see Islamic societies living wretched Islamic countries has progressed,in terms of economic development than most European countries e.g Qatar,Saudi,UAE, Iran,Iraq, just to mention a few

SlavaUkraini:
And the highest number of Agberos...

Don't forget to add that one

Sunshine34:
Some owomida guys are from the East, who can't go back home again. Lost children
