Collynzo29: My guy, the reason why these countries have poor people is the distribution of resources. China has the most billionaires in the world but most of them are hidden just like in Nigeria. Please consider that. |

casualobserver1:So you see nothing wrong with people who have no source of income producing up to 12 children? Even the billionaires in those countries we want to be like do not have half as much children. That mentality has to change. China and India that you guys keep mentioning have been doing a lot to control their population for decades, but here in Nigeria, it is a taboo to even talk about it. Our population cannot be our greates asset when a good chunk are uneducated and ignorant. The ebola salt water bath stuff and the number of people who fell for it, says a lot. 1 Like |

casualobserver1:There is no country that doesn't have that, virgin land in some countries is bigger than Nigeria as a whole. What do you mean by sitting idle? If every inch of land in the country is already occupied or being used, what happens as the population continues to grow? The total size of farmlands in the US is five times bigger than Nigeria and they still have virgin land. www.agday.org/media/factsheet.php |

talktimi: Very true. It is those people that are eating more than their share that want us to think other wise. Imagine the USA that consumes 20% of the worlds resources with 5% of the world's population saying Africa needs help with population control. And people are buying it. Too bad. 1 Like |

Collynzo29: My guy, what we have is unplanned urban sprawl fed by unrestricted rural-urban migration. If the rural communities can be provided with amenities and opportunities through improving opportunity for agriculture the flow of people to the overcrowded cities will reduce and might even stop or be reversed. It is like a 3 bedroom house where only 1 room has mosquite net, fan, AC and mattress. The people of the house will rather pack themselves into the room with amenities than sleep in a room where they are battling mosquitoes while sleeping on the floor with no fan or ac. Do you get? 1 Like |

this is what happen when you are program to repeat what the white man says rather than use your brain. first no continent in the world has more resources than Africa,you are only poor because you have been tricked into believing you are poor,the white man gives you paper in the name of dollar to collect your resources second all the largest economy in the word all has that stand because of there population eg China,Brazil, America ,India and even Nigeria that is why you have the largest economy in Africa because of your population,so smaller population means more hunger. gorociano: |
