#Ben Bruce is our population more than that of China

Leadership is the problem!!!

Death sentence for ALL corrupt officials and let's see if our fortune will not turn around for good!

Wiseandtrue:

Population is a positive tool in the hands of a good leader that knows what he is doing!

Isn't there a saying "you use what you have to get what you want

China has the population and they utilized it!!!

How are we utilizing ours Corrupt politicians laundering money here and there still be shouting corruption

Remove sentiments and Let there be a death penalty and let's see what happens

No economy will grow with complain and excuses!!!

MrSly:

First of all, it's Igbo not IBO as you wrote out of ignorance or laziness. Secondly, Radio Biafra is not the cause of your race's political cowardice and north-phobia. So deal with it.

China has been trying desperately to reduce her population for the past 30 years so you don't have a point there. Once population growth rate exceeds economic growth rate then population is no longer an asset but a menace. That is the troublesome situation with Nigeria at present.

wordcat:


Is population the reason for our stagnant economy?

omenkaLives:
You are right per the bad leadership angle, but so is Bruce per the population angle. The country you mentioned have positive economic indices growing faster than the rate of growth of their population. Ditto India.

Same cannot be said of the Nigerian situation.

That said, Bruce and his brood of incurably corrupt colleagues are part of the problems we have in this country. Has he for a moment sat down to think of the opportunity cost of what the country spends on them?

What about his debts? Has he ever imagined what might have been if he wasnt such a bad debtor?

His suggestions are good, but he's also part of the problem.

Wiseandtrue:

My opinion differs! Population isn't the problem but corruption is!!!

We have to work within our means as a country!!!

The legislatives is not only the problem, the Executives are too!!!

It will be hypocritical to fault the legislatives and ignore the Executive who has the final say!!!

The Executives cannot retain their extravagant life style and expect the legislatives to review theirs!!!

A good leader will lead by example!!!

Afterall it's one of his electoral promises he promised to review if elected!!!

It's not as if the government is doing so much for the people as it is

They are just servicing themselves!!!

joseph6071:
The Nigeria senator and CEO of Silverbird TV, Ben Murray Bruce has come out to tell why the nation is poor and also the way forward.

See what he wrote...

"We are poor, majorly because our population is growing faster than our economy. We must introduce population control policies so we can slow population growth and hasten economic growth. If we do not do that and do it soon, I shudder to think of what will happen to Nigeria."

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.

the day you igbos behave and thin right,the country will change

MrSly:

Of course, Igbo won't be seen as reasonable to yoloba Moslems as long as they don't have slavery mentality. But everybody were not created to be slaves.

olas24u:

Your tribe enslaved every other Nigerian with your unitrary system.you don't have sense,you are not even politically savvy.your politics is shit.

MrSly:

Lol. You thought I was talking you politics with. I can't discussnpolitics because your politics belongs to north. You don't have any political game outside north. So what can you say politically? Absolutely nothing. I think I have honoured you enough.
