Thank you once more, the REAL Madrid. You are the best.

Indeed! "Tonight's gonna be a good night". You hear that?!

We're counting down, 6 days to go now.

LaDivva:
Hmmmm
They better not break up else Julie will just be turned to a laughing stock.

She sure knows the implications

Iceberg?
The one Titanic hit?
This woman's dignity has gone to the dogs. Allowing her bum to be described to the public as birthday cake

Billionaire's daughter sef don become title. OK o

She doesn't look befitting of a pilot's wife. Apologies.

gokuu:
There is leadership failure, however, that is an illegitimate problem. The fact that we have a leadership crisis in Nigeria does not mean that we will be spared of the LEGITIMATE challenges that confront a nation like population size. A problem half-solved is always better.

Reducing our population growth rate by 80% will not solve her problems.

ivolt:

You sounded like some of our big-grammar politicians.

It was cool having a debate with you. We all hope for a better Nigeria, population explosion or not.
Cheers!

ivolt:
Talk is cheap.

If you become Nigeria's leader today,
what would you do to solve the leadership problem ?

Obviously, engaging our large population in exploring Nigeria's vast resources.

olasunky15:
I don't know ur discipline but if u haven't heard of it before

I recommend that you read something on Thomas Malthus population growth theory.
or google Malthusian growth theory.
it ll open ur mind and thinking.

I need no Malthusian to "open my mind".
I'm capable of independent reasoning.
Cheers bro!

Which wife?
When did he get married and have two pikins?

But seriously, what's the purpose of her 'slaying'? To catch up with the senior ones?

No be only Janelle, na January.

ivolt:
If I say we must stop dumping refuse on waterways.
Does it mean I am forcing you to abide by my statement ?

No where in the world is a large population an advantage,
it is either being actively discouraged or their is a campaign
to reduce it.

The world's resources is finite, while baby making is not,
it is only rational to reduce birth rates.

It is no accident that high fertility rate is highly correlated with extreme
poverty.

A poor man gives birth to 9 children he can't cater for, he send the
kids to the streets for survival, then turn around to blame government,
I will say, that is a self-imposed suffering.

What will you rather the idle poor man be doing? It's the failure of Government in engaging him that gives him the time and space to keep reproducing.
Look and countries like Japan and a few others where their citizens are so busy the government has to grant them incentives to get married.
The point still remains Nigeria's problems are not large population induced, they are borne out of leadership failure.

Ugosample:
China does not rear Kids like pigs.

for the last almost 40 years (though I hear that they have relaxed the policy)
China had a strict "one child policy"

This policy helped in no small measure in controlling their growth rate, and helping their economy grow and their living standards increase

Their population remained under 1.45 billion throughout, and you can never see a Chinese with highest 3 children (most have 1 or 2 kids)


Nigeria on the other hand has tripled it's population in 55 years.

And the result is clear for all to see.
hunger unemployment and increased crime.

If China tripled its population in 50 years the way we did, then China will be 3 billion plus

And there would have been chaos in China

If the Chinese authorities didn't get their people engaged meaningfully and only asked them to stop making babies like this Bruce is doing, it wouldn't have worked.

TheLordIsGr8:
There are people in the USA and Uk who are not working but are still breeding. The govt is their breadwinner. What do you have to say about that in relation to your point.
If you know what a bushman means you'll know he takes his family very seriously. Wrong analogy.
For the record, I don't advocate for a welfare state because a govt big enough to give you everything is also big enough to take away everything


Haba!!! Since there are jobs already why is Bruce asking people to create more jobs? Or does he want over-job? But on a serious note you are not being honest. How many people do you also know that have lost jobs? None? How many entrepreneurs do you know? How many do you know who complain of the comatose situation of power in the country, to name one area? None?



Congrats to your friend.
But shell can only employ so much people. How many positions did they advertise for? Because it happened to be someone you know that landed the job suddenly there are "jobs everywhere." Can you tell us how many other people you know who applied for same job that didn't get it? Not that you care anyway.
It breaks my heart that a fellow woman would disparage their fellow woman because she has chosen the career of bringing life into the world.
Not that the Shell recruitment process is totally transparent, but that is a matter for another day.



Wait a minute. Your friend has not created any job yet. Bruce wants us to stop making babies and start creating jobs. So I (perhaps Bruce as well) will complain if your friend starts making babies instead of creating jobs. Because all of her 10 kids cannot work at shell na. Abi na her papa company?



Isn't this ironic coming from you. "Breeders with no brains." Doesn't this border on Eugenics? Imagine if a "white" guy were to say what you just said. You will be up in arms, drowning yourself in cries of "racism". The French president was taken to task the other day for saying the same thing Bruce said (different words notwithstanding).



Of course the people are to blame for putting people like Bruce in charge of national affairs. That is the people's one and only fault.

I support you wholly.

akinszz:
if I may ask, is it OK to produce babies in poverty? the man has a point... do you realize that we can't feed ourselves as a country, almost everything we import. if government don't do something to control the population now, something will do us. I'm just afraid of what will become of nigeria in the next 30 years.... probably we will start eating ourselves.

It is because there's nothing worthwhile to do. If you had to work hard all day, you won't have energy left to make babies.

Let's hope it's not just another paparazzi.
From past incidents though, I think Obiano will take a decisive action.

Ugosample:
Rearing children like pigs will constitute harm to the Nigerian society

Explain in relation to China

ivolt:
He is not imposing, he is advising.
On the long run making plenty babies constitute security threats
against the nations peace.

There are thousands of homeless and abandoned kids on lagos street whose
job is pickpocketing cultism and will likely venture into serious crimes when
older.
There are millions of Almajiri kids with no future prospects.

If only the useless parents have not make babies they can't cater for.

He is imposing- "we must... "
If only our visionless leaders like Mr. Bruce knew the positive use our large population could be put to. We are not the largest population on land. There are several larger populations doing very well.
I still maintain creating jobs and producing babies are separate entities.

Honestly, this is a feeble attempt at common sense.
Producing babies and creating jobs are separate entities. The last I checked, people are at liberty to live their lives as they deem fit, as long as it constitutes no harm to others.

Why impose a lifestyle pattern on them?

hopefulLandlord:
he's not being childish, he's telling you the bitter truth

ask yourself this question, if this were gathering of atheists instead of Christians and gunmen came to kill them, would our Christians not talk about how it won't have happened if they had Jesus? won't they quickly talk of "god's judgement"?

he's simply paying them in their own coin and its worse for Christians cuz it said " Thousands at my right" lol

abeg your Messiah is useless

Please read my response to StOla. Thank you.

StOla:
When the house of God offers no protection to the evil of man?

When the preachers of the gospel are well protected by highly trained security men, betraying their own lack of belief in the God they preach to others?

When the devil who was created by God is left to torture the world while the acclaimed creator remains helpless and clueless on what to do about his own evil creation?

Who then is childish, he who has come to a disapproving conclusion about the usefulness of religion, or he who still believes that there is someone in the sky who can stop all the evil in the world but is never useful?

Good question!

Now, let's be logical. God promised thus in Qur'an 2:155 that He will test us with things that are unpleasant to us. Also in Qur'an 3:185, Allah promises that every one of us shall die.
These are some of the covenants he made with us. What is wrong in Him keeping to His words?
If you ask me, that's integrity and honesty.
