Immediately an African man makes money especially a Nigerian,he would starts looking for things to waste on.

E.g

-Multiple wives.
-Marrying liabilities.
-Giving births to many children they can't afford.
-Gambling.
-Making more friends that consumes his money.
-Building mansions in his interior village while he visits once a year.
-keeping multiple girl friends and living large at the expense of his family e.t.c

All of the above have rendered many people worthless and useless.

There's nothing wrong in giving birth as long as these parents can take care of them

Most of the stats about lower population growth and labour shortages in developed countries is false, they are promoted by elites to justify their open border policy.

Where you completely went off the rails was describing genes and evolution as if they are Sentient Beings.

So your genes "know" whether you are rich or poor?

So your genes "know" how many children you have?

That's laughable

That destroyed most of what you wrote and rendered it more of fantasy writing than a factual response to the OP's question.

Go and read up on epigenetics.

That will make you delete most of what you wrote.

You are obviously highly articulate but on this topic...you know very little

CaveAdullam:
1. With the comments here so far, the Nigerian education system needs to be revamped. The replies may seem plausible but it superficial and don't share a hint about why there is exponential growth in the population of poor people.

2. Human consciousness, that is, deliberate thinking has been alleviated due to the advent and spontaneous improvement in science and technology thereby making us think that everything is because of the way we think or act while oblivious to the root of all these behaviour which is: evolution and genetics.

3. The reason why poor people reproduce higher is that they want to have many offspring that will survive to propagate their genes in the genetic pool. Evolution doesn't care about your science and technology. All it cares about is the successful transfer of genes from one generation to another.

4. Because poor people are poor, many of their children will not survive to adult reproductive age, hence, they reproduce at a high rate so that even though many of them don't survive to adulthood there will be few that will pass their genes.

5. Rich people don't bother reproducing at a high rate because they already have the resources that they can use to raise their offspring to adult reproductive age.

6. These behaviors are rooted in evolution, and not just conscious deliberate thinking. It happens in both rich nations and poor nations. All you need do is to take a sample of either the rich or poor in both nations.

7. In poor nations, this evolutionary behavior is then supported by conscious beliefs like:

A. It is God that gives children.
B. Children are God's blessings.
C. Every new child in the family brings prosperity to the family.

The above is a conscious belief that also has to do with low IQ and lack of wisdom. But remember: genes are acting in their best interest subconsciously.

8. So, it is expedient, for humans to become aware of their nature, behaviors, and biology and not only think that it is just our thinking that matters.

9. Yeah, the black community/Africans have the lowest IQ across the different races (you can scream for all I care), hence, their low cognitive ability. But this doesn't mean that progress and prosperity cannot be achieved. We must understand what's making us lag, and take necessary actions to assuage our condition.

10. In summary, to remain in the gene pool, poor people reproduce a higher number of children because they lack the resources to take care of a few. So, they reproduce more with the hope that few will survive. Rich people reproduce less because they have the resources and can take care of the few children and are cocksure about their survival.

Thanks.

In developed countries, Good system of government, social amenities, low unemployment rate, good minimum wage/earnings yet most people have 1, 2, 3 children while few have 5+... Or some want no children.

Why do people in African e.g in Nigeria with very bad system of government, no social amenities, high unemployment rate, low pay rate yet people have or give birth to more number of children Or any number yet go ahead to complain how difficult it is to take care of them? Like they don't know it requires money to do things in life

Can't comfortably pay the school fees of the 2 children you have yet adding more children So that you can have 3 or 4 children that you can't pay school fees for?

Your salary is 250k, you finish some of the months with borrowing yet adding more children hence lability undecided

The current living condition your salary is giving, you are finding it difficult to push through yet adding more children Hence making life more difficult or what could be the motive?

A single guy/girl finding it difficult to survive on his/her 100k salary but would go ahead and marry, pour children

Is it a crime to have no children or the number of children your salary can afford?

In my opinion, here we don't value children, human life and the basic wellbeing of the children we give birth to. Hence you see people even in their state of abject poverty adding more children or those that are doing a little better adding more children just to fulfill their desire of having X number of children even when the ones they already have is difficult to maintain.

Another reason is that people don't think or reason for themselves. They just follow the societal norms like zombies and do what everyone is doing.

These things always makes me wonder.

And the family will even complicate things for you by telling you the right time to marry, how many kids you should have and all sort.

It is an insult to me, if a family member calls me and tell me I have to marry because s/he thinks I am getting older. Like s/he is going to carry my responsibility for me? Africa see it like a taboo to be single at a certain age or having no kids. How is that anyone's problem?

To answer your question, I will first answer from a historic perspective and then answer again from the modern era...

Hear this: "For the most part, our history textbooks here in the States love to portray Africa as an uncivilized continent. In schools, we learn about the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial revolution, and countless other ‘revolutions’ that all have one thing in common: they originated in Europe. Growing up and constantly hearing of European accomplishments and learning about history from a Eurocentric perspective, it’s not hard to see why there are still people who seem to think that everything great derived from Europe. Spoiler Alert: African history existed before slavery despite what textbook publishers want you to believe. Here are ten inventions that originated from Africa and have changed the entire course of human history." It is important to mention that many things were renamed to Europe e.g. Pythagoras theory but thats just a claim on the theory....


1. Math
Contrary to popular belief, civilizations existed before Europeans ‘discovered’ them *gasp*. Ancient black Egyptians created the earliest numeric system on record, and they were also the first civilization to create and solve arithmetic equations.

2. Art
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh3aY2EhCQs/?tagged=blomboscave
No, neanderthals were not the first species to create art. In fact, the oldest known artwork in human history was discovered in Blombos Cave in South Africa. It consisted of two pieces of engraved ochre depicting abstract designs and symbols.

3. Writing
https://www.instagram.com/p/BVG8PmbhJuf/?taken-by=ancient_hieroglyphics
According to Dr. Clyde Winters in his book The Ancient Black Civilizations of Asia, the oldest known form of writing developed between 5000 and 3000 B.C. in sub-Saharan Africa. This writing system has come to be known as Proto-Saharan.

4. Language
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaX6bGLnLUD/?tagged=zululanguage

Yup, our stone-age ancestors in sub-saharan Africa were the first human species to develop a language system. A recent scientific study found that every language in the world can be traced to the dialect spoken by our African ancestors over 100,000 years ago.

5. Medicine
Although all civilizations had discovered how to use some form of medicine, ancient black Egyptians invented a concrete system of medicine that involved schooling for practitioners and written documentation of the methods of healing used. And let’s not forget that ancient Egyptians were also the first civilization to perform surgery.

6. Mining and Metallurgy
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi0alP_BTtW/?tagged=mining

The industrial ‘revolution’ would have never happened had it not been for Africans smelting iron over 2,500 years ago. Ancient Tanzanians had been producing carbon steel long before Britain industrialized metallurgy.

7. Architecture
Despite the disturbing movement to prove that aliens were in fact behind the architecture of Egypt’s great pyramids (is it really that hard to believe that black people can create architectural masterpieces??), some of the world’s greatest and oldest architectural masterpieces are in Africa. The Pyramids of Giza, the Step Pyramid, the city of Great ZImbabwe, the Nubian Pyramids- all of these iconic sites are proof of the highly advanced system of architecture and engineering that ancient Africans developed.

8. Phones
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi9eXmJlukJ/?tagged=iphonex

If you own a phone, chances are that it is made out of minerals deriving from Africa- specifically the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is a mineral found in DRC that is used to make rechargeable batteries. The DRC is one of the richest countries in the world in regards to natural resources, and everything from copper and cobalt to diamonds and tin are found there.

9. The Calendar
Ancient Egyptians invented the earliest calendar system over 5,000 years ago. And the way that we divide our days into hours and then minutes? That is also because of Egyptians.

10. Cooking
This one’s pretty obvious considering how many flavorful and seasoned dishes come from the motherland. Ash that was found in a South African cave has led archaeologists to conclude that our ancestors were cooking with fire one million years ago.

Nigerias population being 200m is a good thing...China is a super power today because of the number of the People's Liberation Army (millions of active and reserve soldiers).....

Today Nigeria has a higher number of soldiers than Britain which means we can defeat Britain if they decide to launch a colonial war like they did in the past....

Russia/USA too has a high number of soldiers....

Freethinker87:


Maybe I agree with all you said or maybe not but I took exception to the above statement. Why do you think poorer nations have the lowest IQ? In the 80s, Asians and Africans were classified as people with the lowest IQ in the world. Some "scientists" even compared our brains to chimps'. Our huge population, diet, and culture were linked to the root causes of IQ deficiency by pseudo-scientists. 30 years later and ethnic Chinese migrants are representing the USA in the International Mathematical Olympiad Competition. Suddenly, ethnic Chinese have been reclassified as people with higher IQs than Europeans. What changed?

Is it that the Chinese evolved superbrains in the last 40 years? Or,
Did they invest in education, especially in STEM?

History has proven to us that there's no correlation between race and IQ. Investing in quality education will greatly increase the consciousness, rationality, and productivity of the people and thereby improve their IQ. Poverty and lack of access to quality education are the root causes of IQ deficiency, not evolution, genes, larger brains or any of that pseudo-science you outlined.

No amount of food can change genetics.
If that was true ,all the good food and environment the blacks in US are exposed to, would have made them to achieve better than they have.

I want to give my kids quality education, go on a good vacation and still be able to serve God with my finances and help humanity. Maximum number of children I advise is 2. I believe 3 is already a crowd
