Cromagnon:
I think it's time govt imposed no children on you as not to replicate your stupidity

I believe it's people like you that need to be castrated before you reproduce and contaminate your community and the world.

Do you agree? Do you support it? What alternatives to such a policy exist?

Is population the cause of poverty?

this country is full of morons

SocialJustice:
For this Nigeria? You want cause war? Poor people make up 90%+ of the population. You don't want that kind of crowd against you as a government. China was able to implement one child policy because it is a dictatorship.

Bros, that is the only way out I see. Any child hawking, the person that sent the child hawking should be arrested. Any child malnutrition, the parents unable to take care of their children should face a social court and if they cannot continue, the child will be taken from them. We need strong laws. Many youths that are the problem of Nigeria today are the ones without parenting. Now they end up being a problem for the society. If government does nada, it only gets worse.

About a week ago, I wrote down some policy free for Nigeria government here on nairaland and I said same thing as this OP.

I believe the op also saw it.

The earlier the better. Strong policy of birth control should be enshrined in our constitution.With little resources from Federation and state revenue, we can’t continue to give birth like pigs. The religious beliefs on procreation should be thrown into dustbin and we face the reality. In 1960, Nigeria population was 45million while Germany was 63million. By 2022 Nigeria was already around 218 million while Germany were 83 million. Who does that?

You can’t stop me… na me alone mama born

See what you're saying hhhhmmm, African population for nothing, good infrastructure is not here, and we keep on pile up, the truth African citizen know can only set the African free

Douglad:
China's economy is going to collapse because of that policy in tbr coming years.

Only African citizen don't know what to do, not Chinese citizen we know

GboyegaD:
While one would expect people to be reasonable, poverty has eaten so deep into our culture and people have been brainwashed with religion; thus, reasoning has been discarded by a majority of people. For this reason, it will be nice for the government to bring up a restriction policy. However, for a country that has no statistics, where do we start from?

And Tinubu was asking "na statistics we go chop"?

TrainPark:
Not India but China.. the main point is why do you think children are the problem of the economy?

If you find your self, doing nothing,and all you know is to give birth to children with the little you have, when the Children grow up they also practice the same thing, which is killing the African continent till today

ideamonster:
It's no surprise that things are getting harder every year in Nigeria. Even before the subsidy removal, the cost of everyday items are on the rise.

You may have noticed that the size of bread that sold for N200 about 5 years ago now goes for N1000. This means that families today need to allocate 5 times amount of money to bread than they used to five years ago. What even makes it harder is that every year since 2015, Nigeria has added a minimum of 7 million children every year. This is more than the size of singapore. It is worth nothing that 63 million Nigerians are alive today, who had not ben born when Muhammadu Buhari was elected in 2015. And with Nigeria's current fertility rate of 5.31 children per mother, each additional birth is creating an increase in the number of people who need to be fed.

In light of the following, several people are exploring the possibility that should Nigeria place limits on child size per family similar to such a policy enacted by the government of China in the late 1970s. In the special report exploring this topic below, population scientists, policy analysts, statisticians and everyday people ask the question: Is it time for Nigeria to start limiting children born into each family in this economy?

Do you agree? Do you support it? What alternatives to such a policy exist?

Why not work on reducing wasting of resources? We have a situation where a few swallow resources that are meant for many. We should deal with corruption and stop the few that are feeding fat from what is meant for millions. We have a revenue generating and a spending problem in the country. It's good to be wise with how we have children in relation to our resources but that is a secondary issue.
Let's address the revenue generating problem and our wastage of resources by few politicians. Someone uses hundreds of millions of taxpayers money to buy a car. Perhaps we can use these funds to establish SMEs and people will be employed and the resources will go round.

thesicilian:
Nigerians are funny people, I tell you. Instead of thinking of innovative solutions to jumpstart the economy and make their lives more prosperous, they're thinking of ways to adapt to the poverty in the land. As if our problem is caused by overpopulation!

Overpopulation is a part of the problem.

A deeper question is why are you doing nothing?
There is a lot to be done in this country and you can start most things from scratch.

Chetas81:
The enemies that wrote the Bible should come and explain, this book was present to you by the British colony, how many British indigenous people poor like African citizen especially black African

The British started, finished and handed over to fellow Africans who are equally doing as bad, if not worse than the British.

You've been parroting the dumb one child policy of China as a saviour of overpopulation in Nigeria and I'm telling you that it is not the solution at all

China wishes they never did that nonsense. Now they're suffering from it economically and they've even increased it to three children cos they need people drastically

Mention 5 if you can, and Im not talking about Hustling, the British English have no respect for the Hustlers,if you check the meaning of hustler in English language

hhhhmmm where are you getting your fact from lol,I hope you live in Beijing China, because 50 years to this time,non African countries can close to the Chinese level when come to all things, just minus your population from China population, and see the figures, only Egypt can close to Chinese,in all angles of life,

emmanuelewumi:
■ No be person wey get job you go tax, very few Nigerians are economically viable and productive members of the society

No be only person wey get job you fit tax. By further reducing their sense of worth, you discourage even the women from associating with and breeding with them.

Originalsly:
■ True.... it was size limit to all families. This is a means of population control that China used .... in the last century. China had the means then ... Nigeria doesn't now. If the FG needs to .... they will use the 21st century method ... cheaper and more effective ... COVID-19 or its upgraded version. Bear in mind .... Bill Gates already visited the new administration... why remains a secret.
I oppose any form of imposing limits to family size ..... people will survive somehow. The focus should be on improving conditions for a better standard of living making it possible for parents to adequately provide for all of their children. This idea floated is more like getting the families to fit into a certain size box rather than having a box big enough to fit any size family.
Looking back ... we saw the resulting problem with China's policy ... parents preferred boys over girls .... girl child children were killed at birth.... or were pretty much useless and pretty much treated like animals ... sold ... hired out etc. A high male population resulted. Now things are booming ... there is a scarcity of women to marry and now women are like gold ..... the ordinary man has very little chance of finding a bride .... it's like a bidding war to find a bride. This is not a good idea.

The way I see it, China did what China thought was best for China at the time. We can learn from their successed and their mistakes in resolving our own issue of overpopulation.

Northerners no go gree. They have an average of 10 children per household.

kioski:
Deal with the producers of Almajiris first then we'll be on the way to solving the problem because they just churn them out without caring how they'll feed or live. The rest will take correction from the economic realities.

Stop deceiving yourselves abeg! So you no get eyes see the overpopulation problem in the southern states as well??

balher:
Why not FGN to enlistment 50% of Nigeria youth to Security and military so that remaining 50% will go for farming. Lets learn from China with over 1.4B in population.

Enlist them with which money and resources? Una go just dey talk as if una no even understand the scope of the problem in that nation.

How can you learn from a picture of China after its population restructuring program on how to deal with your population problem? No be like trying to swim im the deep sea without first learning to swim??

Let me pretend you don't I see your other post but nobody is spoon feeding me. I have a business, my wife work and we only have a daughter. We make our money is $$ so our structured is on solid ground have a good one out there.

Cromagnon:

Ppl like you should be macheted to death like they did in Rwanda

ideamonster:
It is possible. If you get traditional rulers on board, introduce taxes for more than 2 children and issue out digital birth certificates per mother.

you are thinking like an idealist. But unfortunately, this is Nigeria where wickedness and religion has eaten deep into mind

meum:
Some people no go gree😂

I gave this a thought the other day. Here’s my thought on that day: Two per family. The question I asked myself was, will that work? You know the answer already 😁 It’s a NO.

Even Nigeria won’t think of such. She enjoys “the most popular black nation” status and would like to remain that way.

Most Nigerians wouldn’t want to hear of it. To them their RELIGIONS doesn’t restrict them so how dare you!

Point of correction: Their Religions
