SocialJustice:
There's no need limiting anything. Poverty will teach any unwise family a bitter lesson. This is not even a time to get married, talk of having children.

Those who can afford it, please carry on but those that are assuming starting a family will bring financial breakthrough, safe journey too.

You don't get it. Untrained children become burden to the society. Most will turn out to be criminals who will be disturbing your peace. That's the big picture

China had a similar law where a family could only have one child.
Population increase without commensurate increase in productivity and GDP is a problem. Since Nigerians independence population has increased but the people who colonized us, there population is almost unchanged. Now we dey Japa go there. See countries like Italy Greece, Mauritius, Seychelles. A cursory look at the at GDP divided by population will give you per capita income. The two last countries are East African countries which are island with nothing but tourism as its economic mainstay.

How are Europeans and the US keeping their population streamlined?

Why do you think they have LGBTQ and very invasive birthday control measures like sterilization and freezing.
It a means of keeping population within limits.

That's why when Africa refuses to accept same sex marriage and stuff they withdraw their grant because the purpose for the grant will e defeated by uncontrolled population increase.
In the north it will be difficult because a Man is allowed to marry up to three Wives and as we have read the fertility rate is 5. Elementary Economics has showed us all this, the Malthusian population theory is what is playing.

Adding child tax per child will work though. Having those who burden the system pay more per child will work even in the north.

With the current poverty in Nigeria, how will those afford to pay child tax?

China banned people from having more than one child, why do you think they did that?

The end of China's one-child policy formally ended in 2016, because they now have too many old people and not enough youngs to work in the agricultural sector to produce food. More young people also mean more youngs that can provide more food with agriculture

that's a real country that knows what's best at every point in time then make necessary adjustment, when the need lesser population then implement it when they need more they go for it

But Nigeria no thanks to North can't implement what's best simply because of religion

Nigeria and France has same population in 1960 now we are more than x4 of France

Tealcrestmedia:
■ What a stupid and demonic suggestion, no wonder politicians make mockery of the masses.
Is Nigeria beyond fixing that the only solution is to enforce childbearing limits per family? Correcting The politicians stealing the money and making useless policies that have seen the economy crumble, is that not an easier solution than telling families how many kids they will have?
We have natural gas, yet can't generate cheap power. We have crude, but must import PMS.if you fix Healthcare, education and unnecessary importation while reducing multiple taxation, and using the revenue generated wisely for infrastructure, Nigeria should be okay.

Doing all what you prescribed will not save anyone from poverty at this point because Nigeria's population is well over the max capacity that its resources can handle. Do you understand what that means? All those natural resources could serve well about 50 million people, not 200 million or more --- and this is me being over generous. So it makes absolute sense to also curb population explosion which has been added to the list of issued the country has to tackle.

Obviously not when you are dealing with a Nigerian. You have to tell them or else they continue to die of sun sickness wondering how in the world it happened to them.

Funny country Nigeria.
One man, four wives, more than 30 children. This man controls banditry, owns gold mining sites.

Tax him for each of the 30 burdens he imposes on the system in addition and you will raise money to offset a lot for those who are sensible enough to realize that they need to proceed in wisdom..

Originalsly:
Hmmm .... seems like it is in our DNA not to think things through... we are becoming more short sighted.... love to first leap then look after to see where we will land.... as in removing the subsidy on petrol. Limiting children in poor families. What will determine if a family is poor? What will determine when it is okay for the same family to have another child?

Bros longest time, how NYC?

My regards to the fam! Please continue that your NYC pictorial thread.

Guess China should have imploded by now. Having a large population is a blessing if they are educated and productive else population growth will be an economic threat.

That isn't for you to concern yourself with at this point as their are many ways to sensitize people on such issues that are currently not employed in much of Nigeria. Go to Lagos and see how even the poor now take paying whatever tax they owe the government seriously, compared to how they too believed it was impossible to get the poor tonpay taxes on anything before Fashola's regime came in almost 18 years ago

Tealcrestmedia:

Why are you folks so dense in analyzing what happened in China from over 40 years ago?

China, which has a majority of its population living in poverty back then, saw its population ballooning to well over $1 billion in the new future with poverty taking the lead still, and realized there and then that even if China was to curb corruption and bad governance problems, it would still not survive. That was why China, in addition to eliminating the other problems also drastically reduced population growth and worked to steal as much as it could from all countries every idea to help it access and use the resources from other countries to grow its economy.....use your head abeg! China does not rely on its human resources alone nor its natural resources alone.

By the way, China is still battling poverty with over 400 million living in poverty in that country. But when you put that number next to 1.4 billion next to 400 million, you will see that poverty no longer leads the nation. Compare that to Nigeria with a population of about 200 million and about 140 million living in poverty. Poverty leads Nigeria as is and this because poverty continues to multiply faster than economic growth.

Nigeria is Not overpopulated. What you have to look is the population density per Km2

Just look at the 2 following statistics

The population density in the Netherlands is 522 people per Km2

The population density in Nigeria is 246 people per Km2

This means that the Netherland have more people per Km2 than Nigeria, but you will never heard that the Netherland is overpopulated.
In the contrary the Netherland is complaining that they do not make enough children

They use the word overpopulation only when it is a black country and they will flood the medias with articles to subliminally influence you to adopt policies to reduce your black population, because it is their goal, to reduce the black race to the minimum

Kobojunkie:
Op's suggestion wasn't to limit children born into poor families but to all families. I wouldn't subscribe to that. Rather I would that the freedom be adequately taxed to compensate the system for the burden added by adding each child. Paternity tests should also be made mandatory to avoid having children slip the system. Also, a vasectomy rebate program that enables those who wish to help themselves can also be added to family planning benefits.

wow this is absolutely brilliant

In the IBB era, women were advised to have not more than 4 children each.

Some Northerners are not immunized. Their religion is not against BVN. Their religion allows them marry more than one wife and they believe they are expected to produce as many kids as possible. The country will be aflame if any government try to enforce it.

I think the only way it can be enforced is it Nigeria is split into different country.
