Researchers in Nigeria have identified a curious pattern that makes it pertinent and beneficial if we all contribute our own widow's might to get all our cousins and family members educated. It was pointed out that at present, about 12 percent of the populace in South Western Nigeria are not educated. Those who are educated will go ahead and marry educated women and make small families of two or three kids who will in turn get good education. Those 12 % that are not well educated will go ahead and marry one or two wives and incidentally this group of people make numerous babies in upward of 6 children or even 10 children . These children will very likely be uneducated just like their own parents. At the end of the day the educated grand children of those that are presently educated will be outnumbered by poorly educated family member and so they will not be able to speak freely. Any move they make will be misunderstood for insult. They may never have cohesive extended family as the present generation. Therefore we should all try to educate one cousin or two especially in Nigeria where people cannot get student loans.
