I said same two years ago and was severely criticised for it.

Well, you cannot ban people from procreation like the Chinese 'cos of the differences between both nations. Culturally, politically, religiously and otherwise we're different. However, education (secular) should be promoted, female education should be encouraged further; the economy should be improved - incomes raised, contraceptives made available, abortion legalised and lots more.

Countries like China and Singapore had strong leaders and institutions to enforce the law. Even Singapore had difficulties enforcing because she is more democratic than China. It'd be difficult to enforce such laws in Nigeria. But yeah! We need it.

P.S. Having a large population is not necessarily a good thing economically. Last I checked, our purchasing power is very low compared to say the Swiss or Singaporeans.

help me tell them o

IbnAbdullah1:
My sister,everything have it's good and bad side.
And I think having more children should be a boon not a bane in a country like Nigeria.
It is simply because we lack the managerial capacity to utilise our God given resources that's why we campaigning for child control.
China had made a policy then on one-child per couple I know they have now reversed it because they saw the negative consequence of it.

Nigeria had way too much resources that cater for the need of everyone in West Africa it is just greed that is our major problems, and the dearth in human capacity.
If we can focus more on utilising our human resources to make good use of what we have,most of you will drop this idea.

they have reversed it because they have achieved their aim.

Their population over the decades have peaked and balanced, and at the same time, they are now well off.

But then, even after that, the culture of having less children has been inculcated in the Chinese already, so the law has achieved the aim.

so the law can be scrapped

lefulefu:
U just bringing up the issue of northerners for ur post. Oga op i am very sure na we dey born pass northerners. U can imagine a cabu cabu driver having 3 wives with 15 children...plus the sidechicks and children wey im don born for outside ooo. Dis is what plays in many poor southern homes. Govt should regulate the issue of children and especially among very poor ppl.its long overdue.

you got that right

Vizzy4u:
Indomie generation thinking post. Nevertheless, my father has 6children,my grand parents had numerous kids. It is a JOY 4 parents that their children be better than them. As long as i will take care of them sufficiently. As 4 me ,my future wife dont expect to give me 1 or 2 chidren....ki lo de! Na ki wasa ne. Na wash. Nobody should quote me n say rubbish.

not everyone here is an "indomie generation"

And I see you are aboki from the Hausa you spoke

Anyways, if you are well to do, you can have more kids you can take care of if you like.

But as for the almajiri and deplorables, their population needs to be checked

gnykelly:
in a free country as ours government don't legislate on private issues.

then they should set up a covert agency to sterilize these deplorables, like it's done in some countries

we can't continue like this

dominique:
Even though I don't support the tribal tone of the Op, I believe the government should put restrictions on the number of children couples should have especially in the rural areas. Mind you, it's not only the northerners that have multiple kids. Southerners, easterners and westerners are also guilty of same.

Nigerians (ignorant ones anyways) will be blaming northerners alone for this child breeding madness, but its a national issue, especially in rural areas

I have seen this fvckery a lot during my little tour of southern Nigeria

Women with 7, 8, even 9 kids and they are not even up to 44

I even have a village aunty with 12 kids

We need to set up a covert operation to sterilize a lot of people in Nigeria /Africa before our society becomes something else

desperate times desperate measures

AbbyE:
Kindly check what fund you invested in , Money market never depreciates your capital irrespective of whether it is ARM, Stanbic or AXA

That's my thoughts too.

This case is somehow

he better takes it up b4 his money enter voicemail

backnbeta:
All these people fighting the Church of God, including g daddy freeze, dare not do one tenth of this rubbish with alfas and mosques... They know the repercussion. They can only try Christians because they know we are too tolerant.

That said; DR Olukoya should just leave him to God, just like baba Adeboye and the Winners man.

What is this one saying?

Babybunny:
Men and their wahala Always beefing each other Well men are their own worst enemies

Try another joke
This one is NOT funny

Deadlytruth:
So bad indeed. The level of impunity and irresponsibility on the part of those in power in Nigeria is just too high. They are too insensitive.
I heard there were retiree and pensioner share holders who invested all their life savings in those two nationalized banks. It was a very harrowing moment for them. Young as I am, I put myself in their shoes and I started weeping.
It was from that moment I realized the truth in one of Lord Luggard's statements that the average Nigerian craves for power and position without knowing the responsibility attached to it.

That's just how it is o

Craving for power, but abhoring the responsibility the comes with it

Deadlytruth:
Blame experience.
I once bought and longtermed AFRIBANK and BANK PHB only to wake up one day to see them nationalized by SLS 33 days to the deadline which he himself earlier on set for them to recapitalize.
When asked why he didn't wait for his own deadline the guy claimed he discovered they wouldn't be able to meet up with it the date even if he waited it out. See answer? Meanwhile they had already found someone interested foreign investors.
The aggrieved share holders went to court but SLS never showed up for any hearing. They called on GEJ for executive intervention but that one just dey flex for one corner for Aso Rock. Him no even send them. Last last the matter just end and all shareholders' funds enter voicemail till today. My saving grace was that my units of shares in those two banks were such that I could afford to give as a gift without shaking.
Wetin eye never see for inside this long term matter? Long term is long throat in Nigeria.

That was too bad!

I remember that fiasco

Why are we as a people like this in Nigeria?

austinkenneth:
Agree. The real thieves in Nigeria are the corporate shenanigans. These guys steal more than many politicians.

SEC is a LAME DUCK.

We keep saying we want progress in this country, but how can we progress without good corporate governance.

Boils down to the greed and myopia of Nigerians

Too much wickedness, malpractice and sharp dealings

Deadlytruth:
I never knew I have a longtermophobic brother here. Nice to discover you today.

Long term is risky in Nigeria.

I no blame una

Realname:
I was talking of the fathers na..
The irresponsible men who get ladies pregnant and refuse to marry them.

Learn to read and comprehend na

A married man could be an irresponsible father, while a single dad could also be a responsible father.

Being a responsible father has nothing to do with your marital status BUT how seriously you take your responsibilities to your son/daughter

Realname:
Fatherhood a blessing indeed

I mean real fatherhiod , within a legal family not assistant father with baby mama

I am sure that idiotic lazy dirty terrorist incompetent Lifeless Buhari was the product of a baby mama

which one is real and fake fatherhood again ?

which one is real and take fatherhood again ?

Kolping:
Thank you.

What you've said is true. We have a rentier economy or rent based economy. In addition, our so called businessmen and women, who are among the richest in Africa, are rich because Nigeria practices crony capitalism.

According to Wikipedia,
Crony capitalism is an economy in which businesses thrive not as a result of risk, but rather as a return on money amassed through a nexus between a business class and the political class.

Rentier capitalism is a Marxist term currently used to describe the belief in economic practices of monopolization of access to any (physical, financial, intellectual, etc.) kind of property, and gaining significant amounts of profit without contribution to society.

Well I have a soft spot for dangote tho


But most times, people make it in Nigeria via connections sha

But I still believe that there are legit billionaires in Naija tho

or don't you think so?

Eponyeeboz:
Who wants to pick it in the SE? Rochas that you hate or Ngige that you loathe?

Tickets aren't given, they are fought for and won. If you don't align, build bridges and promote your interest, you'll keep crying without results.

What I want is good governance for my country

The president being from my region or not does not matter


The masses stukk suffer

If its zoned to the South, forget it, the SE can't stop the SW from getting it if the SW is interested in it. Remember the SW has produced President - FHR Speaker - VP back to back with the SE only producing a Senate President in 2007.

If the SE doesn't key in between now and February next year, they may not get in until 2039.

ADMAF:
Lol. I don't know why ppl argue with the fact that UI is by far the best Uni in Nigeria. It is the only Nigerian Uni in the top 1000 in the world. There is more than 800 unis between UI and the next uni on any of the world uni rankings including Time Uni and webometrics rankings. Please, try to crosscheck my figures first before coming to nairaland to argue. Thank u

That's a fact that no one can argue

But saying Unlilag na wash is a ridiculous statement

omoelerin1:
And the dullard president we have believes Nigerian youths are lazy, they don't want to go to school, all they want is free money; since Nigeria is an oil producing country.
If he is a someone who is academically sound and intelligent, he ought to be aware of this.
About 1.5 million candidates sit for JAMB annually in which more than 60% passed. And the total number of the candidates which all the Nigerian higher institutions both university and polytechnic can admit is not more than 150, 000. But he is not aware of this fact.
Nigeria is already suffering from over population basically because the rate of our economic and infrastructural development is not at par with our population growth.
Unfortunately, we don't have competent leaders in Nigeria. Govt lacks good planing policies. Which is the bane of our development.

The population growth rate needs to be arrested

That's the main danger

tijehi:
Heard so much about unilag, was so happy when I got admitted to study for a master degree......alas, the best lecturers that taught me there, were the ones on sabbatical from UI and OAU. The real unilag lecturer....hiann, let me not start...anyways was so disappointed at the end of the day......the school wasn't what I expected.


So that school of first choice....na massive wash.

which dept?

university of Lagos is actually a good school, one of the best in the country

especially at undergraduate level.

it's just that the thing varies from dept to dept

But in General, it's a very good school

NobodyKnows:

that is my surprise too

Dear Followers of this thread.

I think this might help those that are not aware.

You can follow this thread to learn more and for information on Stock Markets:

https://www.nairaland.com/1131485/nigerian-stock-exchange-market-pick/3878

It will help those that invest in EQUITIES Based MMF know why the unit share price is reducing.

But PLEASE! PLEASE!! AND PLEASE!!! be careful so that you will not be lured to buy shares, Yes some monikers are experts in luring people to buy shares in some companies on that thread.

Hoping we will all learn something beneficial there

It's for one to shine one's eyes there

Buffalowings3:
I think I should liquidate too jare.
Anybody on here thinking of mmf or EF should stay their hands now. Go for Treasury bills.
The stink of the stock exchange has pervaded these enterprises.

mmf is not supposed to go negative na

mizzytan:
Interesting. Most Igbos would want to vote for Apc because they see 2023 as the year for them to produce a President.

That's highly unlikely though

Ornament2003:
I know quite well that Saraki, Atiku, kwankwaso, Tambuwal et al can NEVER become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

As for Saraki, he has reached the peak of his political career. The only movement available for him is downward the political leader. And if care is not taken, due to greed, cunningcraftiness he might crashland badly.

You can quote me.

If you know, you know.

Buhari is in power till 2023. Then southwest will stage a huge comeback & hold on to power till 2031.

Unless, and until the Igbo people change their mindset and align with the right people, they would continue to play the second, or even third fiddle till His kingdom come.

Mark my word.

What does Igbos have to do with this now? ?

And when the presidency is "zoned" to the South, you really think it will be someone from the SW that will be given the ticket? ?

irookie:
Bros,

Just to gear you up, you are not alone in this. some peoples portfolios in stock has reduced drastically and in negative as we speak.

I also have EQUITIES based MMFs and are currently in loss. So keep the hopes high, we are in this together

But I will like you to learn from this, its your personal experience that you will share to others to learn from.

All is well

yes boss

That's why its called "business cycle"

up and down

Buffalowings3:
Money market fund for ARM
Equity fund for Axamansard

Both have lost 8k in 5 months
TB wouldn't have had this kind of issues

my money is in the equity fund in mansatd too, and I had to liquidate because of the persistent losses

I'd re enter when the unit price is rock bottom


But money market fund is not supposed to depreciate like that, some thing is fishy and suspicious somewhere

Kolping:
Our education system and curriculum, especially at the university level, is geared towards producing graduates for a developed and industrialized economy. The problem is that a large proportion of the Nigerian economy is still undeveloped and not industrialized. As a result, the few parts of the economy that are developed cannot absorb most of the graduates coming out of the universities. So a large proportion of graduates end up being unemployed who then seek ways to leave Nigeria to developed economies abroad where their education can be utilized.
Industrialization is the fastest way to create a large number of jobs and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty. China and South Korea are examples of countries which achieved that. Selling our oil, cocoa, groundnut, cassava, yam, beans, and any other mineral resources abroad will never make Nigeria a developed and industrialized economy. As they say, produce or perish.

Nice analysis

However, because exporting raw materials is the path of least resistance., and it will make our elite rich and fat without much critical thinking, the elite in Africa encourage it!


I must say, you got a sharp brain in your head

Buffalowings3:
Useless Axamansard, ARM..
These funds are tied to the stock market

The amount wey I put there dey reduce.
Thieves everywhere.
I was hoping that at least the money will stay the same. Invest in TB for now

Jiang:
If boko haram is truly stronger than the Nigerian Armed forces you won't be sitting comfortably in ur face me apartment typing this rubbish,

don't mind that guy

He knows nothing

The truth is that a big man/group of big men (probably in the military or elsewhere) is feeding these guys with info, or frustrating the war to make sure it continues


I watched the former director of SSS confirm it on Al Jazeera some time this yr
