Abstract

The researcher decided to carry out this research because women have seldom been discriminated against. Many training opportunities as well as career ladder have been either close to women or considerably less open to women than men. In Nigeria, it is believed that women’s place is in the kitchen and therefore they need not be educated. It is a general belief that the female always survive without formal education. The only hope for the male child is to be educated. If this problem of discrimination is eradicated, it would help women appreciate their values so that they would not be discriminated against in their day-to-day life, and illiteracy too would be eradicated.
