Explosive population growth is a major cause of poverty and social problems in Nigeria.

I said same two years ago and was severely criticised for it.

Well, you cannot ban people from procreation like the Chinese 'cos of the differences between both nations. Culturally, politically, religiously and otherwise we're different. However, education (secular) should be promoted, female education should be encouraged further; the economy should be improved - incomes raised, contraceptives made available, abortion legalised and lots more.

Countries like China and Singapore had strong leaders and institutions to enforce the law. Even Singapore had difficulties enforcing because she is more democratic than China. It'd be difficult to enforce such laws in Nigeria. But yeah! We need it.

P.S. Having a large population is not necessarily a good thing economically. Last I checked, our purchasing power is very low compared to say the Swiss or Singaporeans.

My sister,everything have it's good and bad side.
And I think having more children should be a boon not a bane in a country like Nigeria.
It is simply because we lack the managerial capacity to utilise our God given resources that's why we campaigning for child control.
China had made a policy then on one-child per couple I know they have now reversed it because they saw the negative consequence of it.

Nigeria had way too much resources that cater for the need of everyone in West Africa it is just greed that is our major problems, and the dearth in human capacity.
If we can focus more on utilising our human resources to make good use of what we have,most of you will drop this idea.

Why do you want to force having more children on Nigerians? Do you think many southerners are happy living in the same nation with Hausas/Northerners?

Your advocacy for having more children is part of the reason why southerners want the country Balkanized. We cannot continue to Stomach this kind of ideology from be northerners. Some of us are not happy with the way the country is.

One major problem of this country is overpopulation, when the population growth is greater than the GDP growth, it poses a problem to the economy, we don't need too much population, there should be population control. Even China is doing so at the moment, Its this too much population that is causing too many labour force chasing few jobs.

I am southerner oh.
And I know what I am saying.
Having less children is the least of our problems.
Getting good hands to manage our resource is what we should be fighting for.

You think north are your problems?
SMH.
The typical lazy man's mentality is the easy catch of passing the buck.
The north has nothing to do with holding you or us down.
Did the north tell James Ibori to loot Delta state treasury?
Did the northerners tell Lucky Igbenedion to loot Edo state money?
Please, let's face our problems ourselves and stop looking for convenient excuses that will never fly.

Having more children should be a boon not a bane for a country that values it's intellectual resources.

It seems you are threatening southerners. A time will come that we would fight to be free of the north. We won’t care about the blood letting. It will be a very heart wrenching experience but southerners/Christians will be free.

Why should I threaten a fellow brother from the east, no am not like that, one of my brother married ur kind, he got like two kids already.

Personally I don't give a shyt about ur religion, be it a pagan, Muslim, Christian, Jewish as long as you don't get in my way. We cool, but try to touch me or any of my family members I WILL EXTERMINATE YOU grin

Nigeria's problem is not population,but productivity.The US we are all fighting to go to is MORE populated than we are.Policies to increase the nations productivity is by far more important than regulating the non-criminal activities of people. Saudi-Arabia with a smaller population (30 million approx) than the US (325 Million) is not more productive,neither is Yemen (30 million approx) richer.

Nigeria's main problem is OVERPOPULATION. When I say overpopulated, I am talking about in terms of available resources. How can you compare Nigeria to to US in terms of resources and landmass. US is about 6 times the size of Nigeria with just over one and a half times the population. The US is rich in both natural and human resources. I hope you know that the US has far more crude oil than we do. The US produces 14million barrels of crude per day, while we barely produce 2million.
Even in Africa, if we consider GDP per capita, we will come out as one of the poorest, due to our massive unproductive population.

In the typical African Mindset. People are a curse not a resource,while Natural resource is wealth and blessing, rather than hard-work and productivity. We have been suffering the "Dutch disease" for 50 yrs and counting and we still don't know it.
Cut our population to 1 million with the oil resource we have and our productivity as a nation will fall to 0,due to the same disease.

Edit: this is in support of what you typed.

Initially I plan to only marry one wife, but you can be my +1, don't worry, separate apartment, you are even free to work( No cheating, I hate cheating women), I hope you give birth to atleast 9 kids for me, gender is not an issue, taking care of them is also not an issue both in disciplinary & financial aspects In sha Allah.

Please,give me a break.Who uses the oil the US has? Is it not the US itself?! Does she sell it as a natural resource or does she consume it herself AND IMPORT more for productivity? we don't know the value of crude oil viz-a-viz productivity,that is why we sell it for money. To lazy unproductive people,crude oil is a commodity you sell.The US does not have enough,is hoarding what she has,and buys wherever she can.Why? Because she uses it to drive economic growth.So does china,but not Nigeria. Nigeria sell oil the way a drunkard sells farmland.
Population density? Do you know that the U.K. England is more dense than Nigeria with less resource? It is all about growing and harnessing your "people power"

Re: Should Nigerian Government Regulate Childbirth Like The Chinese? by ttmax09(m): 11:16pm On Sep 02, 2018
This has been on my mind for sometimes now there should be a regulation on total no of children each mother can bare. Our population is growing rapidly if the government can't provide basic amenities for 180 million people now how will they for over 200 million later on just the way something like 20 years to life imprisonment should be handed to rapist, ritualists and government looters. But again this is Nigeria SmH

Learn to read and write, then go and learn a trade. That's all a human needs in this age. If your trade requires you to attend a certain school, fine. angry

I don’t need to pay for their education.
Primary and secondary education should be free or subsidized. Mind you, it’s something that can be achieved.

Learning trade doesn’t hinder education, rather it compliments it.

Iam a northerner, Hausa Fulani to be precise, our family is soo large that I think we might need a personal polin unit, I can tell you not a single child in our family is lacking anything, food, shelter, clothing even recharge card, allowance, data etc., less than 20% of adults in our family work for government, we are farmers, business men & women.

FYI, I intend to have a bigger nuclear family too cheesy
i am glad to hear that.. But u just said your family so that settles it.... Goodluck with large nuclear family, there is a parable in benin that says when zou give birth to too many children,that is when u start giving birth to thieves, witches,cultist,prostitutes e.t.c .. I am not saying thats going to be your case, i am talking about Nigeria generally. The law of diminishing return will continue to hit us with the rise in population.

Re: Should Nigerian Government Regulate Childbirth Like The Chinese? by Nobody: 12:53am On Sep 03, 2018
I believe its easier to increase productivity than reduce population. Population is a resource if productivity is high. Like many people have rightly said the problem is not population. Chinas population is over 1 billion and very productive. The phone youre using to read this was probably made in china.
