Tanzania's President John Magufuli has called on women to stop taking birth control pills, saying the country needs more people.
"Women can now give up contraceptive methods," Magufuli said.

The opposition however criticised the comments, saying they contradicted the country's health policy. Tanzania has a population of around 53 million people, with 49% of them living on less than $2 (£1.50) a day. On average, a woman in Tanzania has more than five children, among the highest rates in the world.

The President made his comments at a rally on Sunday in the northern Meatu district, saying people who use family planning methods were lazy.

"They do not want to work hard to feed a large family. And that is why they opt for births controls and end up with one or two children only. I have travelled to Europe and elsewhere and have seen the harmful effects of birth control. Some countries are now facing declining population growth" he said.

Women are just causing potential damages to their wombs. It's unfair to restrict aspiring children from coming to this world.

if only northerners wil take up dat controlled lifestyle.

Na u go train them?

Haha

And to know that this man has a doctoral degree or at least was awarded one honorarily sends shivers down my spine.
It's still backward African countries like Nigeria and now Tanzania that see large population as something to be proud of.

What's the pride in being the most populous Black nation on earth with poverty, hunger, lack of power and no underground train stations, etc, and you don't even have a voice in the international scene? Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Canada, South Korea, etc - why are these countries a great nation today? Why are they a force to be reckoned with? Large population size?

There's no prize for such - if only there were, I'd be happy seeing that Nigeria takes such prize money every month or year.

Lol

This is funny but the truth remains that every man/woman must consider his pocket while releasing with a shout as more kids means more money esp when they are ill or when they all cry together

We need to send them to Tanzania

As if he can produce good jobs and better living for the 53million...Africa is too populated for the resources to handle. better we adopt the one child policy to fight poverty and starvation

SolutionMee:

Birth control pills is like tempting God. It's one of those unforgivable sin in the Bible. I stand with Tanzanian president on this.

How many children you get?

Maybe he will be the one that will cater for their needs when the need be

Lol Mr president, are gonna raise the kids for them?

Why is Africa caused with these kinds of leaders? Ordinary google search would have prevented this monkey from thus kind of speech.

Na government go train the children?

With my prowess on bed I think Tanzania will be a great fit.

They should come to Nigeria & collect as much people as they want abeg, over population won kill us here.

He should focus on service delivery.

This is the kind of thing Buhari can say...
