The South West data is curious.

So many failed marriages anc childbirth out of wedlock account for low percentage.
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by madridguy(m): 8:16pm On Nov 07, 2025
This is effect of single mothers everywhere due to unwanted pregnancy.

South West leaders seriously need to address the issue.

If you line 10 ladies between the age of 17-22 years old, you must see like 7 single mothers among them.

Delta State should have the highest percentage of single mothers

Even 16 years old girls go tell you say she be single Mom
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by madridguy(m):
Fact check on what? Go any Facebook dating page and see the numbers of single mothers in Yoruba land looking for marriage.

North West leading the pack with the aged long incidence cases of Almajiri pupils.

Where do the 10s of millions of Almajiris come from then? Are you telling us that all those kids live daily with their parents? undecided
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by Satazaa: 8:24pm On Nov 07, 2025
Sometimes this stats can be very dubious, how can the North West that account for millions of Almajiris that are out of their homes and scattered all over be the same region with children living under parental care, very contradictory stats
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by OracleJay411: 8:26pm On Nov 07, 2025
Another useless statistics. Who counted them?
Rubbish 🚮
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by Talkisneeded(m): 8:27pm On Nov 07, 2025

Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by SlavaUkraini: 8:27pm On Nov 07, 2025
So the Terrorists and Bandits in the north actually left their father and mother at home to commit Evil crimes ?

It says a lot about their parental control and skills...
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by Sheuns(m): 8:28pm On Nov 07, 2025
How do they arrive at these figures?
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by Justiceleague1: 8:28pm On Nov 07, 2025
All their parents are in Oshogbo, olokonla, iragbiji Ogbomosho and they are all in the Lagos chasing danfo and okada upandan day and night. grin

You know them by their geometrical cone structured shape up. grin
Re: Percentage Of Nigerian Children Living With Both Parents By Zone by RollinTNDA:
I already knew South West will be the lowest

The highest number of baby mamas I have ever seen in my life was in SWest.
One woman go born for 6 different men shocked

Plus their divorce rate is very high too
My Aunt who lived in Lagos her whole life always warned me about marring from that side.
I would argue with her until I saw it reality hit me and I thank her and God for not making that mistake.
