USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: UN: World Population To Reach 8.1 Billion In 2025

 

Chief Roteh:

 

Why must we WORRY about this NON-PROBLEM, when some of the most

educated Nigerians including many on these listservs, politicians and

 senior bureacrats in Nigeria and abroad  espouse the following beliefs and opinions:

 

that

 

a) the Almighty God is always in conrol  and we human beings on matters of population-

"Olorun (the Amighty God) is the only one who decides on the number

of children we can produce and it id He only who provides for the childen

no matter how many we have even if can not afford to provide adequeate nutrition

and other esseintails of daily living for the ones we already have.

 

b) any talk about population planning in Nigeria and the rest of Africa

arises out of a conspiracy of the Europeans powers to reduce the population

of Africans in the world.

 

c)  there are still millions of hectares in Nigeria that remains to be populated.

 

d) the only problems we have in Nigeria are those of bad leadership and corruption

and that once these problems are resolved Nigeria will become a great country even if we double

the population every ten years.

 

e) things are not that bad in Nigeria--considering children are not dying at the rate they once did

and that women are no longer dying in child birth at an alarming rate--notwithstaning published statistics

that portray Nigeria as one of the countries with highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world.

 

f) that the idea of sustainable population growth and programs provided by Planned Parenthood and simiar organizations

are a ruse to reduce the population of Africa just as the use of Vaccines

laden with HIV was used by the West to inoculate unsuspecting Africans.

 

g) why should we be worying about the population of Nigeria in 2050 2100 most Nigerians alive today

and the ones who will be today will no longer be around to see the results.

 

h) that  China has over 1.5 billion people and they are all happy and working --busy enough

to make cheap plastic  products that they then dump on the rest of the world including Nigeria'

if China could have a billion people why not Nigeria--notwithstanding the huge difference

in geographical areas between the two countries and that China still inaintans a one family one child

policy.

 

Let those who subscribe to any or all of the above inanities, especially those who have called me all sorts of names

over this matter --self identify or I will stat naming names:

 

And that is not an idle threat!

 

Bye,

 

Ola
