The National Council of Catholic Women
Organisation of Nigeria on Thursday
warned against the alarming drop of male-
child in education.
With the drop, the group noted that in the
next 10 years, there would be a scarcity of
quality husbands in the country.
The organisation National President, Chief
Felicia Onyeabo, stated this on Thursday at
a briefing to herald the inauguration of Cor
Mariae College, Abuja. The inauguration
holds on Friday (today).
She said, "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.
"The NCCWO feels that a vacuum is being
created, and very soon, we shall 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.
"The NCCWO also consideres the fact that in
the near future, 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."
