By Patricia Jenkings, published 8/4/2020Many social norms, widespread poverty, institutional practices and inequality prevent access to quality education - especially for girls.

While 50% of Nigeria's population is Muslim, nothing will change, particularly in education for girls. The problem is Islam, Islam and Islam. It's a pity that privileged, Western white women are reluctant to speak up about that, being more interested in ripping into white males. Anyway, the entire African continent is a basket case, beyond help, well out of Australia's bailiwick.

As a father with two children and two grandchildren, both the latter, girls.
I empathise with those Nigerian lasses that have to endure the diabolical horror! That is the monstrosity, that is a blood-lusting horror story reality, demonic and without any redeeming qualities or justification of their satanic (witchdoctor) excesses, ultra primitive, Boko Haran! But until we and the rest of the world see these creatures as the savage blood-lusting animals for who they are and who they really serve! And set about exterminating them with extreme prejudice these savage beasts will continue to rape, plunder and kill in their Gods name (Satan) indefinitely, and need to be exterminated with less pity we might reserve for rabid dogs/diseased vermin/plague riddled rats! Take care and stay safe. Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Wednesday, 8 April 2020 10:27:27 AM

Wasn't there an outfit called the United Nations that was given billions to rid this World of such nonsense ?

Ah, Individual, I presume you mean the UN Human Rights organisation run
by the Islamic countries who have not signed the UN Human Rights Convention. What can anyone expect, they have even appointed China to be the member that is concerned with the Asia Pacific region. The UN is a joke and they are still laughing. The UN will do nothing about Nigeria as Boko Haram is Islamic. Time to resign from the UN. Posted by Bazz, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 3:04:13 PM

Hey Pete. Perhaps covid-19 could do the job for us? These folk have little if any hygiene and don't practise social distancing? Pray together 3 times a day? Think that their God and prayer will prevent contamination?
Incidentally, the bug can apparently survive on a face mask for a week. Has been found in cats. Which may transfer it? And so-called mild cases can still see you needing hospitalisation. Something to take really seriously, even if you're young! It's the twenty-something who seem to be the most efficient carriers. And wouldn't forgive themselves if they carried it home to their parents/grandparents and killed them with their abysmally ignorant, extremely selfish, hedonistic behaviour? Perhaps something those callow youth in Maroochydore, found partying a few days ago and earned a well deserved $1300.00 fine for putting their community at risk, may still do! And hardly surprising if it were to pan out that way? One carrier is all it needs if undetected to recreate the death toll of New York!? And as in New York, in days! It's not a pleasant way to die! But a horror story that unfolds before your very eyes! If you watch! Only exceeded in my view, watching a newborn fighting, trying to breathe with transferred whooping cough!? Take care and stay safe. Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Wednesday, 8 April 2020 5:37:59 PM

Hi Alan B.
2 corrections: One for me, should be: TheRE once was a girl from Nigeria One for you: Not "Pray together 3 times a day" Muslims try to pray 5 times a day: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/practices/salat.shtml : "Salat is the obligatory Muslim prayers, performed five times each day by Muslims. It is the second Pillar of Islam. God ordered Muslims to pray at five set times of day: Salat al-fajr: dawn, before sunrise Salat al-zuhr: midday, after the sun passes its highest Salat al-'asr: the late part of the afternoon Salat al-maghrib: just after sunset Salat al-'isha: between sunset and midnight" True that Aussies and backpackers are the major age group for COVID-19. In NSW today "Table: Confirmed COVID-19 cases in NSW by age group and gender" http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/covid-19-latest.aspx#age-table indicated the 20-29 age group was the highest for COVID-19 at 591 cases compared to my 50-59 age group of 415 cases. Cheers (and may you not cop COVID) Pete Posted by plantagenet, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 7:01:19 PM
