Kobojunkie:
I doubt if those implementing subsidy removal are even concerned with population control. If we are to go with how things typically work in Nigeria, I would say their major concern is to remove artificial measures keeping prices down in order to free resources for development elsewhere.

We all know if they get any money from the removal of subsidy, it won't go into any development, it's just to enrich politicians.
They are just frustrating people (Nigerians) for no geniue reason.

If this subsidy removal will reduce the birth rate of Nigeria, then it served it's purposes. I mean, how can our population tripled in just sixty years?

But if the removal of the subsidy is a strategy to control population/birthrate, aren't they doing it the wrong way? This method will obviously not work, they should have started with health education by creating awareness in churches and mosques (majority of Nigerians tend to listen to their religious head) and introducing free family planning services around the communities.

Good day everyone.
With the unbelievable increments in almost everything in Nigeria, how does the poor survive?

Most people were complaining when petrol was #200plus, now it is #600plus.

A bag of rice can barely be purchased by the average family, some people are being paid peanuts as salaries, they are barely surviving.

With hope they keep believing things will be better, but the price of basic things keeps skyrocketing as if armed men are chasing them.

How do people earning #20,000, #30,000 per month survive? Some families with 3 to 4 kids, how will they survive?

The cost of daily transport alone is killing, do our leaders ever consider those living below par, how they survive?

The poor are getting poorer, everyone is complaining, people are frustrated, most people can barely see what to eat.

The poor among us, what should they do? Because with all this it's just like they are saying the poor should go and die.
