A Demographic Health Survey(DHS) conducted by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and the Nigerian government shows that the population of out of school children in Nigeria has risen from 10.5 million to 13.2 million. 
Nigeria has the highest number of out of school children in the world. About 69 percent of them are in the northern part of the country.
Over the years northern elites deceived their people. They failed to build adequate schools and health care facilities.
Over the years northern elites deceived their people. They failed to build adequate schools and health care facilities.
They made the people live in extreme poverty. The consequence is the rising insurgencies in the north in the forms of Boko Haram and banditry.
The heartbreaking poverty in the north is similar to the growing poverty in the south orchestrated by the ruling class.

Out-of-school children that ran away from the poverty in the north to Ibadan to seek for comfort. They recently arrived with their mothers and relations, scattered on the street looking for places to lay their heads. They are homeless.
