Oga! I seriously doubt if you are northerner.
You clearly mocking them.
What is wrong in producing children?

I feel it's the poor choices of past and even this present administration that is making things difficult.
Having children is not a bane for countries who know how to manage the resources they have.
The problem is,our resource are being individualized.

Wow good.
Some Catholics wey no dey take pills won’t like this

If you need to limit children, get yourself involved in positive activites, don't have sex with anybody. Not even secretly with yourself. This is called abstinence.
This is the God given approach.
2nd method is Natural family planning. Monitoring your wife's fertility cycle and having sex on the days she is not fertile.
If you cannot do these then you might be a sex addict and do not believe that God can do anything to control you. How then will you get to heaven if you cannot control your own private part?

The north is more populated than the south moreover their men can marry as many as four wives . Therefore, their women should apply brake for the south to catch up.

To limit the number of children per mother?
Is that all? Nothing about limiting the number of children per father also?
They better take this law back to whatever misogynistic mind thought of it and make sure it never sees the light of day again,
If they want to do something they might as well do it well.
Not limiting the number of children a woman has while keeping mum on the number of children a father as if if a man has 8 children from 4 women it won't increase the population of Nigeria, the same way it would if it is a woman who has 8 children.

It should have been number of children per father and not mother because the problem is largely with men trying to build their empires especially in the north.
This may not be effective as some men after having the stipulated number of children with his four wives may send them parking and marry others and in this case both the law and religion will not have effects on him.

It is not the way to go. With the current income of the country, our economic growth can be well sustained, unfortunately, the corrupt politicians would not allow this. FG is only trying to address the wrong issue. instead of facing how to ensure fair distribution of wealth, they want to dictate to us the number of children we should have. It's not going to work! Even India with population of over 1 Billion is not dictating to her citizens how many children they should have.

I disagree with you sir. Population explode might not be number one problem but it is one of the major problems.

They wouldn't have had this economic power if they didn't control their population. They can afford to relax on the policy now because of what they have achieved. Not many people will argue that that policy didn't help China

The economic mess we find ourselves is because of gross corruption and insincerity of our leaders.That should be tackled first.

In fact I see it as a misplaced priority. The only bane of Nigeria's development is corruption. Cut off Nigeria's population by 90%, u'll only end up increasing the amount of money embezzlable by a small set, and further widen the margin btw the Upper and the 'Zero' class. How can a country develop solely on a template of natural resources while neglecting to develop her human resources? Its not realistic. Infact, more than 95% of the first world countries don't have natural resources. Nigerian economic handlers should go read Bill Gate's economic template over and over and over again... and stop coming up with useless and unworkable policies!

Re: FG To Limit Number Of Children Per Mother by bigpicture001: 7:51am On Oct 24, 2018
plz can someone tell me why china's economy and her influence is rising so so fast..? mehn! it's cus of its population. it is called human resources in economics. that is the same reason the US begin the lottery scheme,to boost her population, that's the same reason Singapore will pay women 20k dollars if they bore more than one child.....

now nigeria has got her population even without coercion, yet they want to reduce what many see as the strength of nations...tell me what makes nigeria a better economy than Ghana..? still cuz of large aggregate demand for goods in nigeria which is as a result it her population.

let it be known to u guyz that only over populated countries would attempt to drastically implement policies that should reduce population..

an under population country like japan,russia,singapore etc are those which when the population is compared to the resources they have, it is noticed that the population is far below the stick of resources

an over plated country,like say china, India etc are those which if the population is compared to the amount of resources at uts disposal, it shows that the population is far above the resources..

an optimal population just like the US, Germany, Spain etc. are those which if it's population is compared with it resources, it if found to be equal to the task.. now ask ur self,where is nigeria placed if these three categories.. ?for me,its optimal, just that wealth generated from nigeria's huge resources are stolen....


the govt should be more concerned with optimising the countries huge resources potential instead of stunting her growth..if the APC does short of ideas to keep stimulating growth in d the economy, let them leave and make space for those who can. simply a very wrong idea!!!!!!!!

I said same two years' ago. They should be more specific though. Besides, the procreation of lots of children is not necessarily a Northern Nigeria phenomenon.



Southerners include Yorubas which have Muslims amongst them and polygamy is allowed. The remaining are Christians, so where in the bible is polygamy prohibited?


Mark 10:
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife , 8 and the two will become one flesh.’[c] So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Must everything be a contest btw men and women...u people just create fight out of nothing....isn't this clear enuf...some issues are just about women...even though men are somehow in the background....man is just a donor, and infinitesimal factor in this equation...
You can always get ur sperm from anywhere. It doesn't have to be a husband that will get u pregnant...some men don't even know they have kids....if divorce is still legal and gonna be foreverlly legal..u can't tell the new wife not to have her own quota of kids just because the divorcee husband has got two from the first marriage...

But nigerians like straff, see how they are opposing an initiative that will improve our standard of living a bit,we should welcome it,in this century couples are still thinking of 5,6 children,lol,and we say we are suffering,this is just the beginning,we should borrow ourselves sense.
Yes,china tried it,at the end it was restricted to some states,but at the end am sure it helped a great deal.
