He must be high on weed. Instead of him to say we should stop creating more of religion centers rather created jobs and research center he is saying rubbish. What is the population of nigeria compare to China yet China manage her population with industries/factories. Stop building multi billion mega religion centers, build factories and research institutions and see how the living standard of Nigerians will be high. Religion centers are taking/demanding from the already poor masses making them more extremely poor.
religion centers rather than creating jobs is the problem in Nigeria

Don't mind stupid govt thieves. They know the day of reckoning is coming. So the fewer the people, the better they can manage them. That is why they want less people. Less people is less problem.

Not long ago we used to hear that people are an asset; "human capital" But nowadays they have made a 180. European politicians are saying that more Africans are good for Europe, but both European and African politicians are saying that more Africans is bad for Africa. Hian.

I like the north very Much.. But the fact that they give birth like bacteria is quite disturbing, and more disturbing is the fact that many graduate from the north still come up with an ostensibly irrational and stupid explanation to their binary fission reproductive style.
if we continue to grow at this rate with the limited resources at our disposal, we may all someday go for cannibalism as the only remedy or nature will have to do it works of unleashing myriads of disasters just to clean the earth of the homo sapiens and give chance to different species.
I've observed that the poor having nothing else to do indulge more in sex both as recreational and a means of keeping themselves busy and as such they give birth to more children who they can't cater for than the rich.

As at 1960 Nigerian's population was barely 45 million,
30years later in 1991 it doubled 90 million, 55 years later in 2016 it quadrupled to 180 million. Currently Nigerians population is nearly 200million. If we continue with this madness called high rate of natality in which the north is apparently taking the lead, it will become so difficult for our kids in the next 50 to survive in this country.
Most people don't think before they comment
God bless you Bros...

Back in the University, we took an awareness tour to Oil damaged Ogoni in Bayelsa.
We met many of the impoverished community people. We met one man who is a fisher man. You can tell from the look on his face that he is poor beyond poverty. But then he has 11 children and a pregnant wife. I almost collapsed when I find out this. As if not enough, one of his daughter about age of 16/17 is already a parent too. She was put into family way by a neighbor who later ran away. They were all living in one rickety wooden house. I shed tears.

At that moment I knew that no matter how well planned our economic policies are, no matter how fast the pedal upon which our economy is riding... With these kind of careless and mindless child bearing, poverty and hunger will continue to be our permanent companion.

We wrote a proposition on this matter to the then House of Rep Member Hon. Ali Ahmad. But the proposition was dismissed upon religious ground and archaic tradions.
The proposition was seeking to lobby for a law on ONE CHILD POLICY las did in China, though its a modify policy one which to suit Nigerian clime. Our proposition was rejected because they fear it will not be popular among our illiterate people the vast majority of whom voted for them.

Till now, I believe this is the right thing to do. It is #TheRightSense .
Come 2019 the Right sense will prevail

Are we more numerous than America? So we should suddenly stop making children because the govt refuse to plan for the future. There are no jobs, let alone the one to go round. Resources aren't going round because a few have cornered it all, not because we're too many. Enough with all the overpopulation nonsense. There is enough to go round if distributed equitably.

Even if there were a thousand people in Nigeria the same situation will still hold.

Since 1990 we have been hearing that Nigeria go better. It was not better then when we had fewer people, still you think fewer people is the solution. Get real abeg
Suddenly yes ! You should
If you cannot look after yourself and family why are you breeding ? Such a bush man mentality
Then you say no jobs but I know plenty that are getting jobs all over the place how many heads do they have
My friend 25 just got a job at SHELL her mates are busy popping out kids doing housewife swimming in poverty and hold their neck up at Government .. this girl just bought a house now she can have 10 children self who will complain

He is directing it at those breeders with no brain or income who shout saying it's Government .. since 1990 we have been shouting yes but what have the people been doing .. just look around ! Government ain't to blame for everything The People are too

i suspect hatred perhaps even jealousy the problem with African parents is they have children without thinking about how to raise or feed them, i am not against having 10 or 20 children but you must be able to feed and care for them financially, and half casts parents have no problem raising their children financially evidently with Ben bruce his parents was able to send him to school and raised him to become a senator unlike African parents who use their children for child slavery to hawk in the African unsafe streets.

If you can not see the difference then you are ignorant and part of the problems with African folk. and yes! i have mixed raced children! who i raise and care for financially myself.

ofcourse halfcasts animals have no problem feeding their halfcast getting white children...they are backed by the whites....!

Senator Bruce had a valid point. He didn't say do not have babies.

He only said that our economic growth should at least equal our population growth.

Nigerians are angry because our economic growth is mostly stalled by corruption and poor leadership and that has been the situation for years.

But we also have a role to play in the matter. If you can not afford a Benz, buy Toyota.

If you can't take care of 5 children, stop at 3. The only reason countries become advanced is to plan for the future. People who graduate with 1st class definitely planned and worked for it.

Somebody said the China's population is their strength. True. There is strength in numbers. But in the past when China's population was getting out of hand, there was a law that permitted families only one child.

says the halfcast...

what halfcast is saying is make more halfcast children not black children.....

they will never advice you to dont make children with white people but they will always advice you to stop making black children...

isnt it strange that they even give you money to make more mixed children but try every tricks to stop you from making black children..

halfcast are all the same....agents of whites...kanu is a halfcast too...

It's simple logic nigerias economy will be better off with a smaller population or controlled birth rate till we get the economic engine functioning properly.

That is why there is mass unemployment and crime

I am really unhappy with Senator Ben Bruce. My reason is because I don't understand the man. He is a senator and that provides him a platform to effect the change he really wants in Nigeria. If he wants to boost employment, he can sponsor a bill aimed at boosting employment. However, all we hear from him is TALKS and no action. Is he in the senate to tell stories or to enact laws that will make Nigeria and Nigerians better?

And when you try to Advice them on that they label you a witch or an enemy of progress. they believe having 15 children they have no reasonable plans or means to raise are blessing from God.
African parents have children for manual child labour these poor helpless children end up in the African unsafe streets ultimately hawking banana or roasted peanuts while their parents lazy about and making more babies. it wouldn't matter to them if one of the children has an accident while hawking and dies because there are another 14 children and their mother is pregnant with another one on the way.

I am not in any way against having a dozen children if you can take care of them comfortably financially.

maybe me and you can have one or two if you want? tongue tongue unless you don't like children embarassed.

Sometimes one marvels at the quality of those we elected to lead us. While the Senator made a valid point, his reaction to the person who told him "to create the jobs so we'd have no time to create the babies" is, to say the least, stupid. Senator, you made a general statement, the person responded in a general manner; but then you turned personal. No, the person was asking you to use your position as a decision-maker to work harder at creating jobs. If this is so difficult for you to decode, you probanly should not be leading. So you created 1050 jobs at Silverbird Entertainment Group? Such a big frakking deal. Guess what, have you repaid the huge amount of money Silverbird is owing? If you want to personalize your response because it makes you look good (by the way, you seem always only about your image), why don't you pay your debt so the money could be used to create jobs?!

Wow...I like this sir. You are spot on. Apparently the Senator is just making this statement not with the intent of improving the situation but for his personal aggrandizement.
He could have just sponsor a bill to this effect...but he is just talking for talking sake.

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?

Rearing children like pigs will constitute harm to the Nigerian society

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.
