uninspired07: You are not being reasonable. The northern Muslims cannot be allowed to have so many children while Christians are having fewer children. It doesn't make any sense as long as we share the same country. ...... Cos we are still affected one way or the other by their stupidity and we can never limit it as long as we share the same country. |

permit: In terms of average density per landmass, Nigeria is pretty overpopulated. For comparison, Nigeria's landmass is 923,763 km², whilst Texas (just one state in America) is 695,662 km² - roughly two-thirds of Nigeria's landmass. Yet the population of Texas is 28.7 million compared to Nigeria's 180 million. That's a ridiculous density per square km. 5 Likes |

Abi how old are your parents and how old are you right now. My father too had 8 children and we are all doing fine too, but none of my family is planing to have that kind number of children even when we are all living in our own houses and doing fine. Nigeria have reach it peak in case you don't know, it's a time bomb waiting to explode. 5 Likes |

uninspired07:Well the matter is simple if you intend to have max two children only then you should stop having sex having gotten that number of children. Because next go could lead to another child. Certainly this would be tough. Do not attempt to use any means to go against the natural process of conception. That is wisdom and not being shady |

Saltybear: The sad part of this all is that the people who need this anger channeled to are not on nairaland and these are the northern Muslims. So far so good, the majority of Christians in Nigeria, even northern Christians hardly have more than 4 children... Go to the north and see the real deal. I am a northern christian, my mother has only 3 children, while her immediate junior sister who is a Muslim has 8 children and among these 8 children, the first daughter already has 3 children while the first son has 1 or 2 already and they are both younger than myself and my brother who are both in our mid 20s and have no children yet. So by the time I and my brothers are having our first children, our younger Muslim cousins should already be having more than 12 children combined. I have another muslim cousin whose father had 32 children. So you folks are misdirecting and mischanelling your anger to the wrong folks! 1 Like 1 Share |

That’s why they kept struggling to take care of them . 2 atleast is okay in this generation nobody will take care of your mistakes for you stop blaming uncles who are rich you put yourself in such mess and you will bare the responsibility yourself.the world has changed and we have moved past the time when parents will wait on their children to come and take care of them when they grow old most child these days at age 40 45 are still struggling to make ends meet! 3 Likes 1 Share |

uninspired07: Thank you very much, this is what we should be talking about first before we talk about population control. Many areas of Northern and Middlebelt Nigeria which were originally Christian majority are now being overrun by muslims and you people are here flexing muscles on the Christians online who are increasingly having fewer kids in our majority. See, northern muslims if they are in a country of their own without oil money will be forced to enforce birth control in their own country or self destruct, but as long as they are in a one Nigeria where they must compete with Southerners and Christians for political domination, they even encourage their people to produce more children in order to dominate politically and win elections. Use your tongue to count your teeth. Southern Nigerians and Christians cannot be arguing with each other over birth control while our northern and muslim counterparts keep popping out kids with which they hope to overrun us. |

[quote author=uninspired07 post=85289004] Why can’t you stop at 2? Nigeria has changed radically from the time of our parents? How do you know that I am not among the 1st two children of my parents? Nigeria is just too failed a country to burden with overpopulation. I observe that people who give birth to many Children are always illiterate & stark poor. this part of country where I live I know alot of pple who are extremely rich and have more than 20 children |

kevoh: Yes but these high numbers of almajiris eventually determine your political leaders and the political future of your children. These same almajiris end up dominating your future and controlling the wealth of your nation which they channel to develop their own region in return. Indirectly, you are working for them. Economic power without political power is quite useless. Jews controlled the economy of Europe, but it took just one European political power to almost wipe them out entirely from the face of the Earth and they lost most of the wealth they have gathered for centuries within just a decade. Common sense is not always common. |

I can see that majority agree with the op that it is ridiculous to breed kids in a 4th world war country like Ours considering the antics of this present and future dispensation without proper plans and care for these innocent kids. same thing Sanusi preached in the north and they made an enemy out of him. the north has always been the problem of this country. I blame the greedy British for the 1914 almagamation. unfortunately, majority of these people polluting the whole country with miscreants are not educated to even know the damages and tolls it takes on the country. |
Re: How Do Average Nigerian Couples Have More Than 2 Children? by DeanSim: 5:50pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
This thinking about God will provide for them is a great and faithful mindset if it's sincerely from their heart and not hypocrisy. That means if you have more kids and you believe God will provide, then work it out with faith, and it will happen amazingly. It's funny how religious we can be but we aren't faithful to God and ourselves. For example in business, some entrepreneurs who don't even believe in God, all he or she has is vision or dream and they held it tight like something big which is true. They believe strongly in it with the assurance it will materialize if backed by action. |

LZAA:No it does not. I don't know where you're getting your strange stats from. Nigeria's birth rate, fertility rate and population growth rate are FARRRR higher than Brazil. It's not even close. Please, use your Google. This is 2019, not 1919.
Homosexuality has little influence on birth rates. Homosexuals are a small minority of the population. China's population is not a measure of its breeding habits. It simply means ancient China consolidated a very large, homogeneous civilization. And nobody is talking about population here, but population growth rate. China's population is static and barely growing and might be entering a period of recession (like Japan and South Korea which have declining populations). Most of the population growth in the world over the next century will come from subsaharan Africans because we still breed like medieval Europeans. It's symptomatic of an unproductive culture. It's a fact of life that productive, enlightened cultures simply don't have the time or inclination to be breeding like rabbits. And we need a serious reorientation. 3 Likes |

uninspired07: Are you okay? Are you saying we should all vacate our ancestral lands for the Hausa fulani muslims to occupy or what? Which country do you think can accommodate all Nigerian Christians? I am beginning to see that you are an agent of the caliphate sent to confuse Southerners and Christians. See, Nigerian Christians if separated out as a people from the muslims are not as poor and wretched as western statistics project us nationally to be. Nigerian Christians are at least 80% literate and the extreme poverty among us is like 25%. 80% of extremely poor and illiterate people in Nigeria are the muslims.... Take them away and Nigeria will be on par with countries like South Africa, Turkey and Latin American countries in terms of Human development index! |

uninspired07: Bringing American families into Nigeria setting, to me as long as you can feed them all population doesn't matter, a typical Nigerian would be scared if he has only one child, the dwindling population in the west and them opening up their borders for emigration in past years should tell you that this your ideology seems good but on the long run it's baseless to me, I know the joy I got from my siblings care, I won't make my children feel less cause this age and time and scared of overpopulation, the major strength the North has against other zones is their population just so you know they hold a deciding factor in all elections... FELLOW NIGERIANS BORN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF, bad economy or good economy... The end will justify the stress...

uninspired07: I am against this thread cos Southern and Christian youths of today are naturally having fewer children than their parents did. Nobody needs to tell them. What people like you should rather channel your energy on is the unity of Christians in Nigeria to see to the immediate division of this country. Not telling people to have fewer children when that is already the trend for the majority of us. |

Nowenuse: I've argued this a number of times on this forum, but the emboldened is a myth. Nigerian Christians are no less prolific in their breeding than Northern Muslims. You're every bit as likely to see an Igbo woman with 6 children as you are to see a Fulani woman with 6 children. All of us need serious reorientation in this country: North or South, East or West. Incidentally, every population census conducted in Nigeria since iindependence has the same ratio of Northerners to Southerners: about 55% to 45%. 2 Likes |
