carammel: So, according to your logic, it's better for the poor couple to pop out another kid than to hustle 1600 per potency period of the drug? The extra kid (or kids over the years) will surely cost more than N1,600 to care for over the same period (of drug potency). Like I previously mentioned, it's these kinda poor decisions stemming from lack of critical thinking that's the problem. |

win3k: Wow! Where do I even begin with this one? There is so much to unpack that I barely have enough time. Either way, I will address a few points here and there. First of all, you have never even gone to South Korea before talkless of actually knowing one to know whether they practice their religion with "common sense" or not. You just assumed that because they are wealthy then they must have practiced their religion with common sense. South Korea is where it is today because of a civil war fought a while back with the help of the Americans and with a dictatorship that was able to build and develop their country. It's called good economics. Secondly, I understand that you hate religion but your boss is what's clouding your judgement and your inability to understand the underlying issues that face our communities. You dont seem to understand what makes some nations successful and some failures so you resort to simplistic conclusions by stereotyping people and making sweeping generalizations ("Most Nigerians are corrupt" etc). You can bash Nigerians all you want with your overtly simplistic aspersions that they practice "religion without common sense" or that they are "too lazy" and "corrupt" (which quite frankly smacks of intellectual laziness) but at the end of the day, its your inability to research and understand the fundamental problems in the society or the political systems (systems matter a LOT!) that diminishes the potency of your arguement and make you churn out jaundiced and biased commentary like this. No, the average Nigerian is not born corrupt, it's the system that he is born into and the circumstances forced on him that might lead some of them to cut some corners to reach an end but at tye end of the day it's not all of them. If you want to understand why Nigeria doesn't work, go educate yourself on real intellectual work about the wealth of nations not some pathetic Google search that generalizes, misdiagnoses and simplifies the complex problems in the black world. It will do you some good sir. I bid you a good day. 1 Like |

davidif: You responses say it all; you are part of the problem! You cannot defend what you don’t understand, you lack the mental knowhow and constructive insight to even attempt – I have read your responses and you will fail a basic debate! Nigeria is not the poorest or most poverty stricken country on earth, India, Somalia, Congo and many others come before it! The crimes associated with a vast number of Nigerians are not to be found in places where poverty far outnumbers Nigeria – Yet neophytes like you will have us believe that majority of Nigerians are not born criminal or corrupt! Swallow your pride and accept the obvious, you do not need to lie to be patriotic. Your whole statement about Korea is a typical Nigerian one; I have a simple answer for you – common-sense. It may be a word you are struggling to understand but let me apply it to the Korean case for you, before good economics happened in Korea the citizens had (and still have) common-sense approach, if you applied the same “good economics” to Nigeria it will fail in its tracks because the quality and mentality of the citizens does not support that good economic! I have been to more poverty stricken countries around the world where people are starving yet they will not remove street lights to sell, or remove cables from an electricity transformer or divert street water supply to sell or destroy basic infrastructure meant for the society to survive – In Nigeria it will happen by default! If you do not understand or know what you are talking about do everyone a favour and don’t even try! If you open your mouth in the same Korea to voice the nonsense you type here, words like monkey, backward African, primitive will be mentioned! It is almost impossible to have common-sense and constructive discussions with Nigerians because of their mentality (not their education) – I am sorry but it has to be said! Religion is a key part of the Nigerian mentality, their restraint, timidity, lack of innovation and dated thought process is guided by religions they have not researched or thought through. Their education (no matter how high) becomes useless as a result. Common-sense goes out the window and replaced by archaic guiding principles that existed before modern day human civilization! |

carammel: Let me follow your lead to 'derail' a bit also It is not that family planning will check poverty per se but rather reducing poverty through jobs that keep everyone busy to earn a living in dignity, will engender family planning naturally. That is why industrialised societies invariably have reduced birth rates, be it China, India, Japan, Korea and European countries. 1 Like 1 Share |

happney65: Good to see someone who shares my thought on vasectomy. I am curious, are you married? Got the desired number of children? Underwent vasectomy? Most Nigerian men do not actually want many kids,na the women dey always want more kids when in essence it is waste of time and resources While that is true, their opposition to vasectomy makes it untrue. If a man is vehemently against having more children than he can cater for, he should support vasectomy. Alas! Nigerian men, just like most Nigerians anyway, don't practice what they preach. 6 Likes 1 Share |
