HazzanTazzan: Since you know you've got all the children you want, having a vasectomy done would remove the risk of more children by accident, and avoid abortion. |

uninspired07: The bolded is kind of true. Where I work, the regular and senior staff have an average of three children. But the drivers...two have 5. Another has 3 already and he's the youngest(obviously not done yet). The oldest has just two though. It's a funny world. I always ask these people if their children are on scholarship ![]() 1 Like |

HazzanTazzan: Yes, I would. To me, preventing conception of unwanted children is preferable to aborting them. Also, I did not ADVISE you to have a vasectomy. I pointed it out as an option. Choosing such may fit with the values of others reading this thread, who are considering their options for keeping the size of their family within limits. |

Obi1kenobi: The inability for the government to build more affordable hostels over the decade and not population (your UNN case study) , mismanagement is at its peak in Africa, China has over 1 billion, they have the cheapest labour and they have one of the best economy in the world, Nigeria is mismanaged, with Nigeria life expectancy at 53 I'm telling nothing is wrong with Nigerian birth rate, the high rate of birth in the North brought about boko haram to reduce the population (my guess, not fact) even the death rate in Nigeria is almost same as birth rate, so nothing like breeding like rats you need 1 or 2 children, your choice, I want to go above that, my choice, not African mentality, not everything from the west should be encouraged, about climate change birth rate does not adversely affect that but human poor environmental management |

You are making excuses. Like I said in my initial comment, it boils down to your capacity, Qed. Making excuses for Abraham, he was rich so he can take care of his children, has anybody stopped you from being rich? Develop your capacity, if you want you can have 20 kids, as a matter of fact, my uncle immediate younger brother to my dad has 16 kids, and he takes all to vacation round the world, first class tickets, Google him David Ogba Onuoha. Quit whining, if you have capacity for 2, suit your self, for 4 fine,7 powerful, each according to his ability 2 Likes |

Can I ask, why was it that for decades, America made such a fuss of African American population until through immense medical trials and media campaigns, African American population increase was halted and indeed reversed to such an extent, African American population influence on the political landscape has become negligible? And, why, conversely, is it that in the same period, Hispanic American population experienced an explosion and America largely viewed and reports this positively? In addition, Hispanic American population influence in America’s political landscape has become so significant, their support for Trump, during the last election, is considered by contemporarys influential in his victory. |

Lol Nigeria is even better, go to countries like Senegal, Mali you would cry for Africa!!!! For me one kid is very okay, isn't important quantity but quality, I prefer to give one naira to one child instead of sharing the one naira between 5 children.

Let us at this juncture sum up what we have so far: why is it that in Asia we have two nations with significantly larger population than Nigeria and one that share approximate population size with Nigeria and yet the West makes such a fuss of Nigeria and Africa’s population?

swazpedro: Actually, the government have built a lot more schools since the first generation of universities and UNN specifically also expanded its infrastructure. But the government couldn't keep up with the rate of growth. It's not one or the other and I haven't told you that population is solely responsible for our problems. My point is that our population growth rate has only further complicated the myriad problems we have to cope with. And we're not coping well enough.
And one of the reasons China has been able to improve the life of its citizens, delivering services and infrastructure that facilitated its citizens enterprise and progress, was population control. Nigeria's low life expectancy is even helping to arrest the chaos that would have come with population explosion. It would have been even worse if our life expectancy was 78 or thereabouts. By now, our population would be pushing 300 million. ANd no, Nigeria's high death rate is comfortably eclipsed by its even higher birthrate, which is why we have a high population growth rate. Who said it wasn't your choice before? My point is our society needs serious reorientation about the way poor people in particular recklessly have multiple children, condemned to a life of misery and poverty. And everything good from the West should be encouraged. Unbridled breeding should be discouraged, because the challenges of the world today make it absolutely necessary that we operate sustainably and efficiently with the lowest environmental footprint possible.
This is the most illogical part of your post. Humans are by far the most impactful creatures on the planet. The less humans there are in the world, the less impact humans have on the environment: from climate change to wildlife conservation to reduction of pollution. Human activity is mostly responsible for environmental degradation, ocean pollution, endangered animal species, and yes, climate change. Human beings are the reason you don't see leopards or lions or elephants or even ordinary antelopes in your daily living. Cos humans cannot inhabit anywhere sustainably without considerable destruction. So yes, if you want to conserve and preserve what is left of your environment for the well-being or your children, and your children's children and those that come after them, then yes, we need to join the 21st century with the rest of the world and stop breeding like medieval savages. 5 Likes |

You stil didn't get the point, is not about others but about the problems we have in our country, our population is one of our problems, all what we saying is the quality of our population is very low therefore a society with such a population can never develop fully... take it or leave it Litmus: 2 Likes |
