10.5 MILLION CHILDREN ARE OUT OF SCHOOL IN NIGERIA


Even though primary education is officially free and compulsory, about 10.5 million of the country’s children aged 5-14 years are not in school. Only 61% of 6-11 year-olds regularly attend primary school and only 35.6% of children aged 36-59 months receive early childhood Education.

It is reported from UNICEF Education that one out of five children out of school is a Nigerian, which is not a good news for us as a nation. I know our govt are trying their best to address this situation we are in, but they have to do more to change the narrative.

If our children are giving the opportunity to be educated we are doing it for our own good, we will have a secured future, a future were we won't have criminals, a future where our youths can compete in many different capabilities in terms of science & technology, administration Health Etc.

For government to make this a reality and ensuring educational provision comes to fusion, they need to focus more in rural areas and the impact of insurgency in the northeast, because they present significant challenges in the North-eastern and North-western states, 29% and 35% of Muslim children, respectively, receive Qur’anic education, which does not include basic skills such as literacy and numeracy.

The government considers children attending such schools to be officially out-of-school. So you can now understand why we need to do more to correct this problem facing this country in grass root education. I will commend  the Government of Kaduna State led by Governor Elrufai for it's moves in making children go back to school, I wish that the Federal Government will do more to address this issue of children been out of school.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

THE HUMAN POWER

Image
Theories have it that, an average human, at rest, produces around 100 watts of power. Over periods of a few minutes, humans can comfortably sustain 300-400 watts; and in the case of very short bursts of energy, such as sprinting, some humans can output over 2,000 watts. The moment of increase in watts is determined from day to day power generation, and contributes in health management. Evolution has given us an inbuilt fear factory. But by engaging a different way of thinking we can stop panicking and weigh up the real risks, the brings us to the SUPER HUMANS, it's predicted that in the next 300 years with the help of Artificial intelligence (AI) we will be able to enhance the qualities and performance of the human body effectively.

We do know ...

THE FIRST SYMBOLIC WRITING SYSTEMS IN ANCIENT AFRICA

Image
The first syllabic writing system of Africans was the Thinite script. This writing was used first by Blacks in Nubia, like the Niger-Congo people who migrated out of this region into the rest of Africa. The Thinite script provides many of the signs that are included in later scripts used by Africans. There are fifteen African writing systems that predate English, yet ask around if Africa had writing before colonization and some people are likely to deny that Africa had any writing systems before 1500 AD. Not many people know that there are even African writing systems that predate Latin. Latin is one of the oldest languages in the world and seen as one of the great inventions of the Romans, and a sign of their cultural progress. However, what most people don’t know is that thhere are many African writing systems that pre-date Latin. These people often claim that Europe is civilized as it developed writing before the Africans. However, this is blatantly wrong, as there are nine African ...
