first of all we all should ask GEJ how many wives he's got..... cos i heard he is a polygamist himself.... this thing can work if you can stop polygamy first... |

With all the problems we are facing in this country, birth control bill is what the government is embarking on! Na wa oh! this country just makes me sick! BTW it would be violating our human right to free religion, My religion say go forth and multiply |

Ah ha! Once again, GEJ shows us how ignorant we are. All this time we thought it was the misappropriation of funds, the general lack of checks and balances and the wanton destruction of lives and property which cripples our country. How wrong we were. . .it is obviously the unborn children. . .children of parents who don't even know yet if they are gonna have them, who are bleeding us dry. This is the reason this Bill takes top priority!! Thank you, Mr. President for always taking time out of your busy schedule to educated us on how to prioritize. The lecturer in you is ever so eager to come out and this never ceases to amaze us considering the many other things you could be focusing on!!  |

Most of the countries that worries much about population growth usually pays enormous amount of benefits to their citizens, ranging from enemployment benefit, housing, and in most cases free education up to university level, they will try to control the population to tally with their economic growth. But in the case of Nigeria, things like unemployment benefit or any housing program for citizens doesn't exist, people take care of themselves. So in my opinion controlling population growth in the right sense is a complete waste of time and of course money. |

An effective birth control is needed in this country. Let's start with one-child family like the Chinese. |

This GEJ guy keep on tackling issue of no importance. When has Nigeria population became an issue in the development of the country. A country that cannot manage it's natural resources, which results from rampart and epidemic corruptions at the upper level of government, is trying to blame the poor populous for his government incompetence. As of now, major countries are craving for population growth by using all means like immigration and so fort. It's only in Nigeria which has vast amount of oil, gas, and other natural resources that population growth is seen as a threat to economic development rather than the corrupt politicians and incompetent government that is hindering both the economic and the human development of our great nation. |

Birth control because our population is too much? I now understand the reason behind the introduction of Boko Haram- to reduce our population. Now that BH has failed to enter the south, law must be used to complement their job. GEJ/PDP the real boko haram- A. Azazi. |

Timehin: Its a welcome development but for it to work polygamy will have to be made illegal.I think we would need to first make a lot more things illegal - eg the right to practice religion, vote, bear children, criticise the government, live Fresh Air Same people who will support legalisation of faggotry and polyamorous relationship |

You declaring your assets will not stop Boko Haram You are so full of insight, Mr President, birth control will solve Boko Haram at once Infact corruption, insincerity of public office holders will disappear And may I suggest, Mr President, that we should sterlise all our women - we will banish both maternal and children mortality for ever from Nigeria!

Nwa_Nimo: From the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights:This is for silly countries that don't want to progress. Nigeria is focussed on fast-paced growth We are in a hurry, we need to do away with people who will slow us down. We carry a lot of baggage in this country, people who are not contributing anything and criticise the government, using multiple IDS We need the few who can go to NASS to contribute to making good laws, become ministers or MD of NNPC The problems of this country are caused by the masses who are iliterate, whose children have no shoes, carry their books in their hands Afterall, Nigeria is not the first country to introduce birth control The problems of this country did not start with GEJ. He has to move fast, please don't distract him |

Birth control indeed. This beggars belief in a country with one of the worst maternal and child health indices. I'm even surprised at the level of support this GEJ's pipe-man's dream is garnering on this forum. He would be better advised to promulgate a rule to control the avarice in government and make education free and compulsory at least to secondary level. Good and affordable healthcare should not just be free, it is an inalienable human right! Having worked in naija as a medic I watched children die for peanuts in the arms of their crying mothers.So you will tell such a mother to limit her family size to 4? U must be kidding me! In a country where one of my duties as a junior doctor included attending deliveries with no power supply and hence no functional suction machine to clear the newborn's airways; setting IV lines on very ill children with candle; and having no adhesives to hold the cannulae in place? A poor woman who comes into a tertiary hospital with a ruptured uterus after labouring for days in a traditional birth attendant's 'delivery suite' in my experience had a death sentence until proven otherwise. Only 1 survived among the many I saw. As part of the theatre requirements the poor husband / relatives would be told to provide 3 units of blood before the OP would go on. This is a man who could not afford regular hospital antenatal for the wife in the first instance. The man then travels miles to his village for fundraising from his peasant farmer community. By the time he returns the next morning to try and explain that he could not raise enough funds for the OP the wife would already be at sub-zero temperature in the morgue. This was sadly a true life experience. I'd left the ward that night knowing I would not be seeing that woman in the morning. Comically when the unfortunate young mother was becoming restless and not following instructions due to ongoing exsanguination the nurses were calling her stubborn. Need I go on?. Some colleagues left the shores of naija for economic reasons; but my main reason for leaving was because I could no longer endure the psychological trauma of seeing countless preventable deaths due either to lack of requisite equipment or in rare instances that they are available patients not being able to afford the 'pay as you go' service. Even countries as poor as Tanzania that depend mostly on foreign aid run a free ambulance service to transfer patients to hospitals (never mind how poorly qualified the paramedics may be). Anything related to pregnancy, including Cesarean section is also free there. I'm talking about a country the same geographical size as naija with only 4 major roads and no single 'flyover'. I for one would never advocate birth control to the underprivileged in our society when I know those kids have as much chance of making it to their 5th birthdays as GEJ declaring his assets. IMO fix the grinding poverty and illiteracy and every other thing would follow. It would only require the people in high places paying a 'tithe' on their little pleasures to the system. A tenth of the amounts we hear looted would go along way. 2 Likes |

The poor masses are responsible for the population explosion in Nigeria. Most of them should no longer be allowed to have children they cannot provide for. They have no other achievements, except counting the numbers of their kids who in most cases are liabilities contributing little or nothing to our national development. You see poor couples having 6 to 10 children and staying in squalid tenements in the ghettos. Couples with more children should be made to pay more tax. And benefits should only be limited to two children. And any couple with less than combined annual income of N500, 000 should not be allowed to start a family until they can prove that they have enough annual income to provide adequately for the education and general welfare of the number of children they want to have. |

ogugua88: I wonder why GEJ always has to mention that Nigeria would not be the first when he brings up a topic though. Because another nation has done it (and succeeded) doesn't mean it will work in Nigeria. Not with our kind of selfish politicians.GEJ needs to specify that nigeria isn't d first to try a policy! Everytin he intends to do, that other countries ve done and succeeded; he needs to educate nigerians! Nigerians I would say are educated illiterate who claim to knw everytin! Wat happened to a lofty idea like subsidy removal? They all rejected it, not so? Our populations is really affectin our progress and development! If we had the brain, zeal, and "against-all-odds" atitude that china has then we won't need any o these! |

As laudable as this may sound, I don't think it will work. Yes we don't need a law like this for an educated person who will readily tell you that with the situation in the country, the best contraceptive is his\her childrens school fees. There is however a great disparity between the percentage of the poor and uneducated in Nigeria? And there lies the problem. Many of the poor in this country don't even have and form of recreation. They work from morning till night. And when they get home, there is no light to watch something as mundane as TV or listen to their radio(for those that have any). Madam and oga are then left to look at each other. Left with nothing else to do, they procreate. Poverty is a big problem. Aside from that how many of them have been educated to know that what our great grand parents told us that 'God bring pickin and im go take care of them' is not necessarily true? We can't put the cart before the horse. And how do they want to deal with law and polygamy? Customary and sharia law embrace poligamy. Can this government give us the names of people in his cabinet or even the legislature who practice polygamy and how many children each of them have already? Will this law seriously apply to them as well(knowing what happens in this country)? 1 Like |

Orikinla: And you want to take that away from them in a country where nothing works?!?! What else will they do for self-actualization in a moribund economy? At the breeding level, most poor folks are doing better than you middle-class/rich guys and gals. No fertility drugs and they give birth like rabbits! Abeg, no take bad-belle pour sand-sand for dia garri! I say get the economy on its feet with fiscal discipline, selfless leadership, power sector, infrastructure, etc, and before long, Nigeria will have to start an aggressive immigration program to attract other African nationals to the country to manage the massive productivity that will follow. |
