Tolue42 is very right. Think of a father who earns 50k and has two kids, and a father who earns 50k and has ten kids. Who will take care of his children better? Your guess is as good as mine. You see, if you want to have massive population, you need plenty of resources to upskill your population and make them productive. If not, you will end up creating abject penury. As far as I am concerned, Nigeria needs to peg her population now because we don't have enough resources to upskill and maintain our people. 88 Likes 7 Shares Jogs1900: 7:47am On Jul 12, 2023 arejibadz: omo we might even be more than that Chief, all these northern population figures are fake.Maybe we are a little above 100m 16 Likes 2 Shares mrvitalis(m): 7:47am On Jul 12, 2023 uvie66: I totally disagree with you, look at it this way count how many children you your close family and friends have on average?

By improved women's rights, I don't mean it the way you think. Women have access to better education, health and welfare, and job rights, in , so they do not need a man per se. Nigerian women don't. Following from above, men and women don't need to marry to have all they need..ie income. Even if they marry, they have fewer kids so that they have more time to work. Also, Nigerians need to have children to provide for them in old age. German women don't need that necessarily. Childcare in is also relatively expensive compared to Nigeria. 145 Likes 4 Shares SHiNJA4RMDWEST: 7:54am On Jul 12, 2023 Most of the settlers in the north are not from Nigeria...
