Young Wrestlers

Wrestling is a sporting and leisure-time activity much enjoyed by young Nigerians, although football and boxing rank as the most popular sports. Nearly all of Nigeria's primary school children attend government-run schools or church-run schools. Because secondary education is not compulsory and older children are expected to help their parents at home, attendance drops down significantly in the secondary schools.
