for your info, over population is a myth. if you know the number of people that die each day then you will know that overpopulation is really a myth. the world can never be overpopulated. its only poverty that makes it seems we are overpopulated.

What do you think cause increase in poverty?

planetx:
Nothing wrong with our high population and fertility rate, look at the list and you will see no Western nation except the US and their growth is fuelled by immigrants. If population growth is bad why are the oyinbos bribing their women with incentives to increase their population because the population in Western countries and Japan is below replacement level and in the next 50 years they will become extinct.

EVERYTHING is wrong with our spiralling population. The major issue being that our current economic growth and resources cannot absorb massive input the comes each day.

No one is saying we should adopt the strict policy of China (one child) but we have to become more sensible in our reproductive chioces.

As long as each Nigeria continue to churn out 25k children day, then theres no way we can conquer poverty.

It's not rocket science to see that those Western countries you quotes all have sensible reproductive choices as a major reason for thier economic prosperity.

No one is saying we are overpopulated as such. For me the main problem is 'overcopulation' - Nigerians are having too much fukking raw sex. If a family with the means choose the have say 10 children, I don't see anything wrong. But is that d case?

Is not those poor ones that keep pushing out those babies like senseless rabbits?

So if our population was really growing at a high rate, but that the children being born had the means to have a reasonably good life, then there shouldn't be any problem.

Thus overpopulation is not really the issue; but too many Nigerian families are having children which they have no means to cater for. That the REAL PROBLEM.

I do not by any means imply that poor people shouldn't have children, what I'm simply advocating is for more direct, deliberate and holistic govt policy to ensure the number of children one has is a direct reflection of ones financial abilities.

Yes, I know it's not a popular opinion - ie limiting children for whatever reason, esp among the religious folks, but we are only deceiving ourselves if we think we can have any semblance of prosperity until we handle the population problem.

I think the Government should find a way to regulate the birth rate or our population will grow out of control.

not only birth rate but death rate also because many are dieing

Think, Think and Think critically . those are the steps to inventing a thing in life.Do it !

you still haven't answered the question. Please tell, what have you invented, or what original thought have you come up with that positively affected the lives of people around you

I keep on asking; must everyone have kid(s)?

Untill we change the stupid mentality that reproducing and multiplying is our primary assignment and a form of devine blessing, the lingering disaster (associated with overpopulation) will remain inevitable.

Take a second look at Nigeria and Nigerians without the government in picture.

Imagine a man earning #45,000 (after 8years of working...) with a jobless pregnant wife and four kids residing in Lagos, blaming government for his predicaments.

The responsible ones die trying to make end meet, but what difference does it make... responsible or not, the liabilities left behind become a societal burden (in most cases).

What is the use of many kids if at all we must REPRODUCE? Are we rats?

Research about me and become knowledgeable.

I have done so, and nothing came up. if you cannot point to something positive that you have contributed to the society, perhaps it will be wise if you don't point accusing fingers at others. You are not better than the people you criticized earlier (you might even be worse).

you should have more headache that here in Nigeria it seems like it's all about sex and multiplying without considering the multiplayer effect .No invention happening here but growing number of poverty stricken people with no sense of thinking on how to contribute to global or local scientific or technological advancement.See that this is a problem,think critically think about these as a problem.

smh.

I stopped reading at "estimated"...

Basic records of births and deaths is not rocket science, except apparently in Nigeria. We do not even know how many Nigerians there are or how many people live in Nigeria. How can a nation reasonably plan without reliable statistics (and I do not mean these "estimates" churned out by the Western NGO industry)?

Fash20:


What do you think cause increase in poverty?

A lack of productivity.

Nigeria can comfortably double its population if the population is productive. Rather, we fail to invest in human capital development (albeit in fairness large swathes of our investment in human capital are presently generating returns for the economies of the US, the UK, Canada, and the various far-flung places where you will find Nigerians educated in Nigeria but currently living abroad), and are accordingly saddled with large populations of people who contribute less than they consume.

planetx:
Stop being emotional, the country death rate is also high so it balances out.
When you deliberately try to control population growth it tends to backfire, look at China they have to abandon the one child policy when they started having a huge gender imbalance when millions of men couldn't find wives due to shortage of women as a result of the one child policy. Population has a way of correcting itself naturally without deliberate human intervention. God ask man to be fruitful and replenish the earth , the overpopulation myth is an oyinbo creation because their women are not having children anymore not because they don't want to but they can't and that is a scientific fact.

Haba! Who fed you this rubbish? Who told you oyinbo women cannot have children? Na war o!
It is oyinbo men that refused to father more than 2 children to prevent personal poverty and unnecessary stressful male life. Smart useful men! The Chinese revised the policy to 2 children and banned gender selection the main cause of the imbalance.

Nigerian men are stupid, they keep fucking (sex) themselves in to poverty and our selfish and thoughtless women continue to oblige them with too many children.

SolutionsGuy:
If this statistic has any credibility, then Nigerians are about the most foolish people on earth.
With our economic situation, population and hopelessness, we still produce 25,000 children a day. This means even if on the average we're having 20k kids a day, that is 20,000 x 365 days in a year = 7,300,000 children a year.

It's time for govt and the people to act! We cannot continue this way.

that's ok since on a normal at least 3 million people will die this year, if buhari wins expect that number to go up.

Wow

To many goddamned babies being borne, is like a goddamned baby producing factory up in here.
