With their huge igr bigger than all alaigbo there should be no out of school children from oyo

The figure should be lesser than this in South East.

Imo and Anambra the lowest in the ranking. That's why the two states always lead in education.

Kudos to Imo and Anambra people

FreedomArmy:
With their hugs igr there should be no out of school children from oyo

IGR bawo 🤣😂😁🤣

You guys and IGR

North really need to get their corn-tree because they're dragging the south back

Ondo is gradually losing that penchant for quality education. So many kids in the streets these days when they should be in school. Education should be free at the Primary/Basic level, similar to what Adefarati and Mimiko did. I'm not happy with this 13.8% at all.

I saw some parts of Lagos the last time I was there, I cried.


Even Ogun state too, may God help this country.

Ekiti should secede from South west and South East.
The rest of the southwestern states are drawing them back.

Kudos to Imo and Anambra people

Bcus they have very little population..

Congratulations to all the States, and Federal government officials, keep on wasting the future of these leaders of tomorrow



Ogun kee una ****

I already knew who will top the chart on this topic even before i opened the topic
poverty stinking region who claimed leadership right every now and then

illiteracy is their social name

All these figures a mere mathematical permutations. The States even Nigeria as a whole has no verifiable data or records.

Thanks to Peter Obi who knows Education is the key for liberation and you wonder we anambra boys don't easily get fooled.

Too bad

God will continue to bless the south east states

The south east is doing well unlike Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun states .

Nigeria!!!
Giant of Africa is really lagging behind.

God help us.

Another aba made statistics. Spits on the thread

We wey from Ebonyi state. De go school for the whole south east.

The statistics is as important as what are the states governments doing to help the children get out of school. What programs do they have in place apart from what the FG is doing. None

Honestly South East Governors need to declare a state of emergency on education

Anambra is doing well! 💪
In Anambra, religion does not come first before humanity, that's why there's progress there.

B

So pathetic!

One of the out of school fools spotted. Was it figure that is sighted or percentage?

Peter Obi really performed magic in Anambra educational sector when he was governor

LagosFirstSon:
God will continue to bless the south east states

With 70% of ibo boys selling gala and vijumilk in traffic,, you shouldbe crying

We have Peter Obi to thank in Anambra state,he really laid a solid foundation for education in the state.

Na statistics we go chop!

Are those doing home schooling included?

What about those not studying western education?

Enugu
Imo
Abia and Ebonyi are leading in our of School Children

Thank God for Anambra

Not just south.

North is dragging Nigeria back.

And to think they are not even ready to embrace change
