History
It has been a known fact that the right to education in Nigeria is still regularly deprived. This due to some socio-cultural ,religious and economic factors and I'll be talking on each.
It's though important to note how the girl-child has been the major victim in this hustle and i think we realised this and do something about it . As this popular saying goes
Empowered mothers and women would make a more enlightened nation
Socio-Cultural
In Nigeria, the girl child is handicapped right from birth due to the archaic beliefs on tribes and various cultures that the girl child abilities are restricted to the 'kitchen' and bedroom. It has driven into our various subsubconscious minds but I believe this changes can be relieved by more girl rights enlightenment campaigns
Religion
Some superstitious religious beliefs of some religions in my country make it almost impossible fr the girl child to acquire quality education. Though am not attacking people's religious beliefs I think that due considerations should be made to the wastage of the myriad of potential in the girl child.
Socio-economic
This is a major factor in Nigeria due to the high prevalence of poverty. It's so bad to see a family of many children(probably numerous girls) and the parents channel all resources into training the boy child because they believe they'll make a more fruitful investment
