Launched about five months ago, the emergence of Infinix enabled AndroidOne Smartphone is no longer news to many Smartphone users considering its performance when interchanging between Apps and its multitasking ability.

Meanwhile, one thing remains largely unknown to many owners or users of this Google Android Lollipop Smartphone, even some tech savvy individuals do not know yet.

Initially, it did not seem great, especially when it goes hot like the name Hot 2, but it will take a little time to cool itself down even when you are not observing it.

Little wonder, Benjamin Jiang, the Managing Director, Infinix Mobility, said during the launch in Lagos, Nigeria, that the new Infinix Hot 2 will redefine the Smartphone industry in Nigeria.

And many will readily agree that yes, it is redefining it.

No doubt, the Infinix Hot 2 is the cheapest Smartphone with latest version of Android 5.1 Lollipop, yet it is doing exceedingly well.

Infographics: Out of School Children in Nigeria

Using infographics, I  attempt to compare the population of Out of School Children (OSC) in Nigeria to the entire population of some African nations.

According to statistics provided by UNESCO, there are about 10.5 million Nigerian children that are out of school.

This is the largest population of such OSC anywhere on earth, in fact, Nigeria accounts for 47 percent of the world’s population of OSC.

In comparison, the entire population of Libya and Liberia is 10,496,000 while the population of OSC in Nigeria is approximately 10,500,000.

According to the UNICEF, over the last decade, Nigeria’s exponential growth in population has put immense pressure on the country’s resources and on already overstretched public services and infrastructure.

With children under 15 years of age accounting for about 45 per cent of the country’s population, the burden on education and other sectors has become overwhelming.

"Forty per cent of Nigerian children aged 6-11 do not attend any primary school with the Northern region recording the lowest school attendance rate in the country, particularly for girls. Despite a significant increase in net enrollment rates in recent years, it is estimated that about 4.7 million children of primary school age are still not in school.

"Increased enrollment rates have also created challenges in ensuring quality education and satisfactory learning achievement as resources are spread more thinly across a growing number of students. It is not rare to see cases of 100 pupils per teacher or students sitting under trees outside the school building because of the lack of classrooms.

"This situation is being addressed by current efforts of the Nigerian Government with the implementation of the Basic Education scheme.

The compulsory, free Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act was passed into law in 2004 and represents the Government’s strategy to fight illiteracy and extend basic education opportunities to all children in the country.
