The National Council Of Catholic Women Organisation of Nigeria,
yesterday have encouraged parents to send their male children to school.
According to them, most male children are on the streets hawking, while
they are supposed to be in school. In the next 10years there would be
scarcity of quality husbands in the country.
“The future of
this country is going to be very bleak for the male-child. How many
girls do you see hawking clothes? Go to Onitsha, they are all men. We
have looked round and have come to see that there is a neglect of boys
in education. Who are the armed robbers on the streets? They are mostly
the boys. Let us concentrate on training boys.
We might soon be
faced with a situation where our educated girl-child will not find a
corresponding suitable boy-child to marry. This is because more boys
drop out of school, apparently because the high rate of unemployed youth
discourages our young boys from appreciating the need to be educated.
Quality husbands will become extremely scarce, with too many highly
educated women looking for husbands, and settling for anyhow husbands,
just to get married. The result of this type of situation is better
imagined and will not augur well for Nigerians”, their president stated
