The National President of the council of Catholic organisation of Nigeria, Chief Felicia Onyeabo, has said ‘quality husbands’ will soon be hard to find in Nigeria.

Onyeabo said this due to the number of male dropouts in schools which is on the increase every year in the last 10 years. Mrs Onyeabo said this at a press briefing to herald the inauguration of a catholic school in Abuja last week. She said:
“The future of this country is going to be very bleak for the male-child. How many girls do you see hawking clothes? Go to Onitsha, they are all men. We have looked round and have come to see that there is a neglect of boys in education. Who are the armed robbers on the streets? They are mostly the boys. Let us concentrate on training boys.
The NCCWO feels that a vacuum is being created, and very soon, we shall be faced with a situation where our educated girl-child will not find a corresponding suitable boy-child to marry. This is because more boys drop out of school, apparently because the high rate of unemployed youth discourages our young boys from appreciating the need to be educated. The NCCWO also considers the fact that in the near future, quality husbands will become extremely scarce, with too many highly educated women looking for husbands, and settling for anyhow husbands, just to get married. The result of this type of situation is better imagined and will not augur well for Nigerians,” she said.
Just recently, a congregation was in for a big surprise when their priest, Rev. Juan Andres Quevedo-Bosch, 59, came out as gay just before divorcing his wife and marrying a younger man.
