BlacSmit: Zombie first read and understand China economy is growing faster than their population, When Chinese population was growing than their economy, their leaders made law that prevents husband and wife from having 2 kids, husband and wife only have one child, they enforced the law, if you get pregnant after having one kid, police will arrest you, sue you to court, then they will forcefully abort the baby. The law lasted for 30 years, it was recently they turned the law after their economy has become strong. They can only have 2 babies now. A Chinese between 4 to 30 years don't have brother or sister. A Chinese can not have 2 wives just like the USA 3 Likes 2 Shares |

BlacSmit: BlacSmit:You are the one that knows nothing ��� This is from Wikipedia One-child policy China's one-child policy was part of a birth planning program designed to control the size of its population. Distinct from the family planning policies of most other countries (which focus on providing contraceptive options to help women have the number of children they want), it set a limit on the number of children parents could have, the world's most extreme example of population planning. It was introduced in 1979 (after a decade-long two-child policy), 1 Like |

BlacSmit: I think you are the illiterate here. China face the problems of over population even harder than you think. They have introduced birth control policies to save their future. They are smart enough to send out their people who will remain in the countries they went to work. Just Google it. |

Wiseandtrue:Population is one of our major problem. You ask of China, is our economy as big as that of China?? China's economy is about 10 times our own. And mind you, you can't give birth to more than 2 children in China |
Re: "Why Nigeria Is Poor" - Ben Bruce by Elvis778(m): 6:14pm On Apr 20, 2019 |
China has birth control policies, China has land mass, China has plenty industries and enough resources. We are bigger than our resources here in Nigeria, our population density is so high due to little land mass, we have lesser industries, nothing is working. Assuming PMB is a goodleader, and he decides to create 20k Jobs of which i know that's the much our country's resources can offer for now, do you think it would be enough?? C'mon, we have over 3 million unemployed youths, about 30k youths graduate every year, which means the 20k jobs won't even go half. So you see why we should tackle population first?? Wiseandtrue: |

BlacSmit: China is rich because their economy depends on human resources. Nigeria on the other hand a country of 200 million people depends on about 2 million barrels of oil output per day from Niger Delta half of what Qatar a country with a population of 2.5 million people produce. |

Wiseandtrue: Our population is indeed the problem, but to understand how, you have to take a closer look at it in terms of economic considerations. Now our population may not be more than China's but have you considered the fact that the same China has a birth control policy in place? Have you ever wondered why they have refused to remove the policy? If you look at the Western world, the same is obtainable. From Europe to the US. They started with one man one wife, then through education and now though hypnosis, yes hypnosis (you can never see a Hollywood movie showing you a family with more than 2 kids) It may seem subtle but media controls our thoughts and behaviour for better or worse. For example look at the proliferation of churches in Nigeria. You'll find that Nollywood is the root cause of it cos almost every movie you see attaches every problem to something spiritual and ends with one clergy carrying out this spirit or that spirit. This affects the people's psyche and boom they start looking for such 'redemption centers' We can also see the impact of MTV on our youths these days. Now you say corruption is the problem, have you seen corruption arraigned in courts before? Is not not humans you see being arraigned? The correct assessment is that this population (when not a product of need) is what fuels the corruption in us. Let's face it, every human being is corrupt, but what fuels it and makes it manifest is when he/she lacks access to resources. That's what these other countries have come to realise and had been preaching birth control to those who want to hear. Based purely on economics of need in this 21st century, I tell you solemnly that no one needs (emphasis on need) more than 2 children. Anything more than that is want satisfaction and if you understand basic economics you'd know already that human wants are insatiable. In other words, we've populated our society with wants which then turns into want induced need later on as those children grow up and will need food, shelter, job and security. Lemme just end it with a simple analogy, all the world countries are keke drivers. The ones who have less to feed compared to their income will grow and prosper more than the ones who have more to feed compared to their income. Reflect on it. 3 Likes |

BlacSmit: Corruption is also the reason why China implemented ONE child policy per family from 1979 - 2015 ? One solution cannot solve TWO problems. Stop being deceived by the corruption mantra. Nigeria is an extremely poor country. 1 Like |

BlacSmit: You are right. So is he. Corruption is not leaving money behind to grow our economy. But... Our population growth rate is not helping. Especially when you realize the population won't be productive in the long run. Thanks to poor education and power. |

BlacSmit:corruption is part of our problems. But birth control is one area that needs to be urgently control. We are feeding more mouth than available resources after looting from politicians. |
