"Insisting that independent marketers would not be able to import the product at the current foreign exchange rate, saying the marketers were able to sell for N145 per litre when the exchange rate was N285 per Dollar. The Naira presently exchanges for N365 per Dollar."

This topic is usually one avoided by eminent members in our society and even scholars owing to our religiously conservative cultures and traditions. Children are often seen as a blessing for both Christians and Muslim which increases fertility amongst the groups. Also, with high illiteracy levels in some parts of the Country, Uncontrolled births are sure to be the order of the day.
However, I feel we must be truthful to ourselves before it becomes too late. Nigeria is not necessarily a big country in terms of land mass, (13th biggest in Africa, 31st largest in the World) But we are one of the most populous (largest in Africa, 7th in world). What this means is that with increasing population, density becomes higher along with competition (as is presently happening today)
Land becomes more scarce, Per capita income decreases, Unemployment increases - and with a teeming youth population like ours could mean disaster. Our health care system becomes overstretched, local demand increases, causing an overexploitation of natural resources, Forests depleted Are just some of the vices associated with Uncontrolled population growth.
Before you give me the China and USA example of populations similar to ours, you might want to look at the facts critically. China, the world's most populous Country with about 1.3billion people is TEN times the size of Nigeria In terms of land mass. Even at that, the communist government had to place severe restrictions on population growth in order to forestall a population crisis. Today China is better for it as the Human developmental index remains the fastest growing in the world. The USA is also TEN times the size of Nigeria, but with a population of just 320million people. It is predicted that Nigeria would overtake the U.S in population by 2050.
We must learn from the Bangladesh and India population crisis examples before we repeat them.
Then again, maybe it's just me being paranoid. Your thoughts please.. .

I have to say I laughed at you post. Thanks for the advice tho. But the thing is, Jesus taught it and lived it also. For example when they came to arrest him and peter cut off the ear of a soldier, he healed that soldier. A man who came to arrest Him! So let me ask you. Why do you think Jesus life is not to be emulated? Did He do anything evil during His time on earth?

ilynem:
But...Jesus gave that exact same rule. Love your neighbors as you love yourself. Are you saying I should follow Jesus' teachings??

ilynem:
Are you serious? So i uave been lied to all my life? what do I do now?

People have invested their entire life in a particular faith. How do you feel when someone mocks what you genuinely love? Just because you feel God doesn't exist does not mean others don't have personal relationship with Him. You can call it delusion but for them it is real. So I advise people not to mock anyone's God or belief but engage in intelligent debates (ya! It is possible to debate without being sly or trying to be funny).

PS: even when you mock God, you know the funny thing? He still loves you. Pay no mind to those who say He will punish you. Nah! He actually still loves you.
