■ Population wa menained low? Care to post link to the census report?

I am sorry, what?

DeepSight:
■ Lets put it this way. How many people in the modern world say to themselves, "oh let me have many children because some will likely die?" Not many. And since this is the case, not many will be making any calculations based on improved healthcare either. Mind you I haven't said sone would not. It just would not rationally account for enough decisions to have an impact on global population.

What modern world? What are you actually talking about?

osazsky:
people can be very foolish especially nigerians before the vaccine came out deaths were recorded across various countries especially in usa and china infact more than 1000 every day with children and d ederly most hit...hence the lockdown. this was done to try and control it..i dont blame some of u who dont have acess to cnn bbc aljazira cuz i know most of u argueing were glue to osun broadcasting tv.infact all games stop.epl all sports stopped. work chces closed down after vaccines came out everything gradually returned to normal..our lovely epl resumed to some dumb ass it was god and allah that stoped the spread of covid and people gradually stopped dying...my question to fools here is wat stoped covid the spread of covid wat stoped it prayers ba

No give yourself heart attack over them oo!

1. Mist men that had 3 males as their first children rarely had large families except they had large farms that needed them attending to.
2. In those days, they had many well to do families unless the head was a lazy man who hates farming. Secondly, you were referencing to the era of no vaccine so it has absolutely nothing to do with current time and that was why I quoted you.

Era of no vaccines when the population was maintained low due to high mortality rates— infant, pregnancy-related deaths, sicknesses, etc.

DeepSight:
■ Fair enough, but it follows that in today's world, its not a factor to put forward as leading people to have fewer children.

I disagree! Even when you reason simply issues such as teenage pregnancies in developed countries, you find that with improved access to pregnancy prevention alone an impact is made against population growth.

thrillionaire:
You do not agree with the complete word of God which includes Paul's Epistles so you are Antichrist.

Complete? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are trying to make us believe that Paul did what God said no man can do — change God's Law— and that you consider completing God's Word? You accuse Paul of being an anti-Christ and somehow that is how to complete Jesus Christ, God's Word? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DeepSight:
■ That's the reasoning I instantly attached to it, but I doubt that it weighs sufficiently numbers-wise in the modern world - i.e: not many families are thinking of having fewer kids on account of better health, as not many families are suffering a high incidence of infant mortality in the modern world anyway. That high incidence is mostly a thing of the past.

Thanks to vaccines(Healthcare) made available to even some of the poorest of the poor by sponsors like Bill Gates and co. No be magic cause am.

One of us must have the last say. And it's gonna be me today or tomorrow or next year.

■ I am at variance with your distorted ideas and not with the word of God. If you think Paul's Epistles were in disagreement with Jesus' words then that's your business but I know that the whole word of God is perfect and God inspired.
You're stuck in your ways and arguing with you is a chore.

1. Wetin concern me with your deductions surrounding Paul's claims as what matters is what the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ, declared, something your statements directly contradict. God said His new Agreement is only with those who are of the blood of Jacob. But here you are insisting that the God of Israel, and His Son, Jesus Christ, are liars. So, why drag my mention into it when it is you who do not believe as they said?

Stuck does not even begin to describe you at all. You are twisted, rotated, and all over the place in your claims.

erniok:
■ I don't know what part of the world you refer to but in nigeria, that was not the reason parents had large families back then. Some reasons were in bid to get the male child. This made some men to take more than a wife and had more children than they bargained for while seeking for the male child.
■ Another was the tradition that a wealthy man should have a large family which should also help out in farm works.

In the case that these men had 3 male kids from the first try, then what?

2. How many of these wealthy men lived during those days? How many of them live today among the millions of Nigerians living in poverty who still have kids like rats?

BoldBrainz:
■ A fine bunch of reasons can be adduced as being responsible for the consistent decline in child births in those "developed countries". But mouthing off "better healthcare" as a significant catalyst, is a bit nonsensical, to say the very least.

Una go just dey open mouth blah, blah blah, blah blah! all just for the heck of it.

Use your brain! Even where it concerns common teenage pregnancies, access to better health care means pregnancy prevention is available to school-aged kids. That alone greatly reduces the rate of teenage pregnancies leading to a decrease in population growth. This is one of the simple ways better healthcare can impact population growth.

BoldBrainz:
■ Are you possibly referring to the same "developed world" where concerns are mounting regarding low child births and the unwillingness of adults to procreate?

Did you bother to properly process the information posted at all?

...It does if you in fact reason it. People used to have many kids because they were not sure which of them would survive sickness and other issues. With better healthcare, you find that people are less inclined to have more kids as the survivability of the few they have is greatly improved, and so they can focus more on living their own lives even as they raise the few kids they have. This has been observed in much of the developed world. Look at places like Sweden, South Korea, Japan, etc

dexmond:
■ Other factors such as level of education, and other reasons peculiar to these developed society may be responsible. In the context of Africa, if we completely eliminate maternal mortality our population will increase? Its mostly educational level, economic considerations etc that determine the number of children a typical African will have not whether healthcare has improved. Mr Gates conclution was a face saving measure when he was taken up on the statement.

What is this gobbledegook?

Again, There is little evidence that improving health leads to an increase in world population. Look around you at the developed world for examples. Many of them are struggling to keep their population numbers up even with the many improvements in their healthcare systems. Look at places like Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, South Korea, and Japan, for examples of the reality of things

Kaycee54321:
■ Lol. Well, my own perspective was that the men of old had many wives and children so they can help with labour as things were pretty manual back then; tilling the soil and such... Also, I think I've also seen families who are well off who actually have many children. Some families with money flowing are actually quite large with tonnes of children, nieces, nephews, etc.
I think it looks like the rich have fewer children in general because, those you'd call rich are far fewer than the poorer folk...and then again, seeing people birth and not being able to cater for them brings this irritation that drives the general opinion that "poor people breed like rats"; whereas na the usual 3 & 4 kids wey dem born.
But I do get your point. It's not far off to assume that people would intentionally birth children to fight the odds of them getting killed off due to ill health.

No doubt, there are a few outliers out there, but on the majority, people would rather have fewer kids than have a whole village to tend to if they didn't have to worry about survival and stuff.

Also consider that now, more than ever before, more and more people are even choosing to not have kids at all because they can live a lot longer and get the care they need for themselves in their old age without necessarily depending on family or brood. So, better healthcare does not translate to an increased population at all but a decrease. If you consider it well, Africa with its terrible Healthcare system and economy is fast becoming the world's supply of slaves(labor).

I took COVID as a single guy and now I have four kids..took all the hepitiesis vaccine.tuberculosis..vacine and many others..there are some I retake after a period of time..it's shamefully that most blacks are not informed

Dpharisee:
Many people in America and Europe who took the covid vaccine are slumping and dying from myocarditis or sudden after listening to Dr Fauci who lied to us, I Will rather listen to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome than BBC until real scientists with a reputation to protect says otherwise

Stop lying!

How many of the people wey slump-and-die for Africa una don do autopsy for verify say na COVID vaccine cause am? Una no even fit do autopsy properly on person wey dem talk say poison kill, na COVID vaccine you wan blame all slump-and-die deaths in Africa on without evidence? Abeg enter gutter somewhere!

myforty68:
The simple logic is that in the past, people were not sure that children will survive so that had many children for example you have six children hoping that three will survive. When there is an assurance that all children you have will survive people who will have fewer children. The single most important predictor of children survive is female education. Improve that and the world population will stabilize

It is already happening in much of the developed world. All these Japa stories from Nigeria are thanks to the reduced population in developed countries were improved Health Care is playing a role in keeping people from having so many kids. But Nigerians don't try to reason this at all.

bigfoot79:
For disclosures, I am a member of Christ Embassy. My take is that I'd rather go with the alleged conspiracy and ignore/avoid the vaccine totally, I, mean malaria is part of our lives and we are living with it successfully. This is as opposed to going with the Reporters who have no scientific or spiritual backing for their stance on the vaccine. Top of that these are media houses that are pushing the #lgbtqi agenda and sees nothing wrong I'm the events happening in Gaza
The point is, I'd rather : continue treating malaria with Agbo (African concoction) than taking their vaccine. Stick with a man+woman order of marriage than have rainbow marriages. And Have a level of peaceful coexistence in the middle east

I wish your parents had made this decision for you when you were a child as well. If they had equally ignored the Polio, Typhoid, Chicken Pox, Small Pox, Tetanus, etc., you go dey here dey talk all this nonsense today?

You religious folks are notorious for your many hypocrisies!

Kaycee54321:
■ Saw it as sex being the cheapest form of entertainment for most poor people...not necessarily because they want to have more kids so some won't die due to ill health.
■ The worst I've imagined is birthing many kids so incase some are useless, some will "lift the family". And poor na relative term sha - most of us here are quite poor but let's not go into the semantics...

1. Since the time of our ancestors who even went as far as to have many wives to ensure they had as many as possible, it was never about sex at all. I recall my mother telling me that her mother, who was a second wife mind you, had 8 kids and only 2 of them survived. It was mostly about survivability and not sex. Terrible healthcare means many will likely die off before adulthood.

2. There is also that. Many of the poor who breed like rats are aware that if all the children survive they would probably not be able to take care of them all, so many of them end up sending some of them out into slavery, etc.

dexmond:
■ The introduction of Vaccines is supposed to improve health, thus, increasing the the world population. However, Mr Gates assertion was that when the Vaccines are introduced, that the world population will reduce by 10 or 15% is ominous. His theory that when health improves, families will choose to have less kids is not true. Common sense will tteach us that if health of society is bad, their population will go down and vice versa.

There is little evidence that improving health leads to increase in world population. Look around you at the developed world for examples. Many of them are struggling to keep their population numbers up even with the many improvements in their healthcare systems. Look at places like Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, South Korea, and Japan, for examples of the reality of things.

Even for his broadcasts sef! You see the wickedness of the African man?

Kaycee54321:
■ Hmm.
Very interesting perspective - People birthing many kids to beat the odds of some dying off...Never imagined that scenario, to be honest.

You never wondered why the poor even in Nigeria tended to have many more kids than the rich?

■ The covid vaccine is know to be a harmful vaccine.
In the UK a man confronted the UK Prime Minister, saying that the vaccine gave heart attacks

Did everyone who got the vaccine end up getting heart attacks then? Even water can be harmful. Do you ignore its helpful benefits because of that?
