So, I was going through some news and gist online (powered by Microsoft), I bumped into an article by #womensarticle.com. In this article, Nigeria was listed as 10th of the 10 worst countries to raise kids and start a family and the image below was used to depict Nigeria.
First, I find it very insulting as a mother that Nigeria should even feature in such contents. See link http://www.womensarticle.com/the-10-worst-countries-to-raise-kids-a-family/10/
Yes, I agree that some schools in Nigeria especially in the undeveloped or underdeveloped parts of the country may not have the standard of education required but generalizing it is very wrong.
Every country and continent no matter how developed, be it America, China, United Kingdom etc have areas where their wealth and development strategies do not reach or favor so, it is very wrong to make such assumptions. If the writer has been to Nigeria, what part of Nigeria did you go to?
It is high time we put an end to such derogatory statements. We do not claim to be the best but you can't enlist us as a country where children should not be bred and even going as far as ranking us the 5th most dangerous country to live in, 8th worst healthcare system blah blah blah.
We really need to address all these misrepresentations and lies.
#womensarticle this is soo wrong.
