If Nigeria has 90 out of 100 people who can read and write and China has 88 out of 100 people who can read and write...

Who has the larger number of people who can read and write...?

Remember China population is 1.3 billion while Nigeria is 250 million

Wetin you dey right sef? It's out of a 100 people.

Its there..look at the source in the tweet: NBS

budaatum:
Hmm. They should at least tell us how they got their figures so we don't think they pulled them out of thin air.

lawani:
I believe all Northerners can read and write in Ajami

No they cannot

madridguy:
Nobody stops your leaders from your SE from giving you free education.

You are right and we love it that way, so bad the kids in Ibadan here many of them can't hear,speak or write English, even with your still present free education, pls make it make sense bro.

It’s people that know how to read that can make informed decisions.
Voting should be done only by people that can read. People that can’t read will always make wrong decisions at elections and hinder the development of the nation.

I am sorry sir, you said what?

I have lived in the north in early 2000s. Most people there could not even speak pidgin let alone to read and write english.

Macphenson:
Just a reminder, as at the time south east was fighting war, south west was given free education.

Make their mind dey

ebukal67x:
I find it hard to believe that the North-West number is just 25. That figure seems too low.

If you've lived in the north before, you would believe

You just proved the statistic as very correct.

Its distant not distance.

Awon sophisticated region of illiterates

Funny thing is the more the population in any part of the world the percentage out of every 100 drops, 88 out of 100 of a population of 53.2 million =46.8 million while in a population of 39.4 million, 90 out of 100= 35.4 million. So it just seems like those you call illiterate aren’t doing too bad, seeing as they dominate the tech, entertainment and health sector in the country. I don’t think a country can survive only on a population of importers alone. N.B population figures are directly from Google and the margin of error for statistics compiled in the South west doesn’t account for people from outside the region who now lives there.

That zone reeks of illiteracy on a high level. I have been there so I know what am saying

The SE contribution to the other regions performance can't be less than 2% per region

It's very correct, people hardly speak English in NW. I did my NYSC in Hadejia Jigawa state and have stayed in Zaria. Those places is full of ba English, ba Truanche

Levels1:
This can't be possible , how can South East be ahead of South West ? I served in Anambra state ,55% of their student in SS2 can't read let alone write.

You expect honesty from the same people that have been going everywhere on the internet trying to manipulate and change history. I lived in Enugu myself, I know how many of those kids are left behind, the result will be out in a few years time. The erosion of culture and the need to make money in whatever way possible makes for a people who feel the need to compare rather than focusing on the real mission.

This one na Red Sonja brutality for Mortal Kombat.

Na to find money pay grammalrly premium once and for all.

Nice try! Since we’re correcting grammatical errors here, your sentence is almost correct. Here are better versions:

Like:
• “You just proved that the statistic is very accurate.”
• “You just proved the statistic to be very accurate.”

“Correct” is usually used for factual correctness, while “accurate” sounds more natural with statistics.

To them book na haram, na im be the "Boko haram".

They say it's haram.

romeodunn:
In a globalized world what language is most useful? Hausa or English? Are WAEC and JAMB in Hausa? Is the SAT in Hausa? Are A levels in Hausa? There are million of Igbo and Yoruba speakers too, and they also speak English in addition to their native language.

So in your definition not able to read and understand English is Illiteracy.
Let me correct your illiteracy not being able to read and write in English is "English illiteracy" Same as not able to read and write in Hausa is "Hausa illiteracy".

This purely lie

These numbers say a lot about access to information and how we process it.

Makes you think about the habits we form, and the patterns that show up when we communicate every day.

leave those shameless clown…buying land and developing Yoruba land while their 5plot of land is largely underdeveloped is now an achievement for those people…how foolish can some people be🤣🤣

South South is number 1

mikeapollo:
And do you know the number of South East indigenes who had their education, including free education, in the South West?

they are still even in all our schools in Lagos, receiving free education. But this ingrates will never disappoint

Even with your so called free education, you people are still struggling to catch up with the SE

Statistics shows that 95 % of northerners are in military rulling and cruising Nigeria

SpencerForbes:
Statisense keeps bombarding us with statistics without ever providing proper backing or sourcing methods.

For example, they can claim to give us statistics of the quantity of 'water' in Nigeria across all geopolitical zones without bothering to specify whether they are referring to rainwater, borehole water, treated table water, or streams.

Water na water abeg jare

Iceberg3:
Free education and all the young people of same sw are chasing danfo and okada and keke Marwa shouting "OWOMIDA!!!" today,chai!!!

Awo did his best but .... ...

muumu, if we are to follow the warped stats you are gloating over, what is the difference btw 90 and 88? even without the stats, it is a well known fact that the Yorubas are still the most educated people in Nigeria. We have the highest number Human Resources and also the best schools are domiciled in the west which are schools of first choice internationally recognised most of your ancestors even got their education in the west and even your ibo language vocabulary was written by a Yoruba man….nwokem Yoruba no be Una mate by all standards
