It's very typical for we Nigerians to ignore indices and statistical reports, as we enjoy living for the day and not tomorrow.

I must admit I am a bit guilty of this in my personal life as well. Tell me you'd give me one vanilla ice cream today, or 10 in a weeks time and I'll probably choose to get the one today

However, for more serious aspects of life, proper planning cannot be overstated.

We have a population problem in this country and its one that seems to be getting worse.

Already, we are close to 200 million (stand to be corrected here) and we keep pushing and pushing our population figures upward without a correlating upwards push of skill acquisitions for this population.

So what we have is a black hole so to speak. A black consumer hole, one that sucks resources without giving birth to anything substantiable.

In order to ensure a productive population, it follows that each person must be empowered with proper education, training and resources. However, what we have in Nigeria is a situation were selfish people bring more children into this world than they can comfortably afford to care for, hence those children mostly go untrained, lacking education and the requisite resources needed to add their quota to the Nigerian society.

Given this connondrum we presently find ourselves, I suggest a bill be passed by the senate, criminalizing the act of birthing a child without providing for said child.

Offendants should be locked up and their children taken away from them and given to adoption agencies.

This may sound cruel, but I believe it to be a step in the right direction.

This is one of those steps needed to envoke a long term change in this country, it is obviously not a short or medium term plan. Its a plan that will yield its harvest within the next generation of Nigerians.

Who will now care for the children after their parents have been jailed for life? In this harsh economy where adoption agencies and hospices are struggling to survive?

There should be a punishment, but not one that will take the parents away from their responsibilities.

Some have far long abjugated their responsibilities, so locking them up wouldn't take away what they never had.

As for the children I did mention adoption as a way out to save them as they are innocent in all this.

Have you ever come across a woman with upwards of five little kids at a street corner begging for alms To me this is wickedness, if such a parent knowingly puts children who should all be in school through such hardship.

Their mates are at school learning, while they are doomed to begging at such a tender age.

Many parents will rot in jail with this. Good development!

The op must be high on osogbo weed. The northerners will never let it see the light of the day
