Childbirth Regulation, A Law To Be Considered In Nigeria
Designed On Canva
Children are gifts from the creator himself. The advantages attached to bearing children can not be overemphasized. In some parts of the world, it is regarded as a curse not to bear children.
Through birth, the world gets populated and people occupy the uninhabited regions of the world, it is through the same birth that we have people around to interact with.
Birth is a blessing, every child born comes with a unique dimension to present to the world. However, too much of everything is bad.
Some people give birth as if they are trying to raise a nation. Gone are the days when having many children accounted for wealth because those children could be converted to the workforce at the farm to bring more returns.
But nowadays, things have changed, Farming is no longer the thing everyone is doing, and human force is no longer very important because there are now machines.
But unfortunately, people are still giving birth to many children. For that reason, opportunities are becoming scarce as there are many people chasing fewer opportunities.
Today, the available resources in many countries cannot serve their citizens because of their number. In some countries securing a nice job is something very difficult to come at.
The only available option is to be self-employed which is characterized by so much competition because almost everything is now an entrepreneur.
I believe for reasons like these, some governments decided to control the rate of birth by deciding the number of children a couple should give birth to and they are progressing.
To be frank, I am in support of that law, look how people are struggling all over the world. There are graduates and competent individuals who are still struggling with life because there are no job vacancies.
Imagine spending years studying in school to become whatever you wanted to, only to come to the labor field and discover that your position has been occupied.
The only option you now have is to start studying to become an entrepreneur else life will eat you up like a piece of cake.
It is so unfortunate that in my beloved country Nigeria, laws like that don't apply and I don't think it will ever apply, not anytime soon.
In Nigeria, most people don't take the issue of birth control seriously, especially the poor. One man will marry four wives and have twenty children without having any means to cater to their needs.
Those children will grow up struggling and expecting fate to do anything to them. It's so unfortunate.
It's beautiful to have children, in fact is a blessing but it can also be a curse when you bring them into the world and refuse to take responsibility.
It hurts me that some people don't know that part of the reason why our country isn't progressing is overpopulation. Corruption is not the only thing keeping Nigeria stagnant.
In fact, I am beginning to think overpopulation is the reason why the country is corrupt. Why won't people be greedy when it looks as if, if they don't grab the opportunity now, it will be taken from them and who knows what will befall them in the future? LOL
There are many people looking for the same opportunities, if you are in Nigeria, go out of your house during the weekend and see how many POS (Point Of Sale) shops you have on the street facing each other.
Go on social media and see how many people are advertising clothes, it's just too much that it makes opportunities scarce.
The competition is high, and everyone is struggling to survive, this is part of the reason why the number of people living from hand to mouth is greater than those living well.
As parents, please give birth to what you can afford to train and not just train but what won't be a burden to the nation at large.
Don't be the reason why social vices increase, I am so sure that if there are no jobs some people will do evil to succeed. Don't contribute to the number.
Will regulating childbirth bring about change?
Well, if the government of my country will enact a law on childbearing I would be very happy but I don't think it's going to bring about an immediate change.
It might take decades for the change to be effective because the deed has been done. Some parents already have ten children, probably the future generations will enjoy that law and not us. But I think it won't be bad anyway, so if such a law is brought into our country it will do us good.
With increasing population and competition it is certain for people to get greedy and want to amass subsistent wealth for themselves and their generations. This is a serious matter that needs urgent attention.and opportunities are really scarce now due to the increasing population.
Thanks for thisn
Exactly ma, that's my point. I just hope that our government will look into this matter someday
This is so funny 😁 😂 and that is true. We have those who keeps giving birth like rabbits 🤣🤣 causing overpopulation and in the end, not have space for employment. I can count the numbers of POS Agents facing each other and other businesses and it's because there is no space in the labor field and everyone wants to survive. Though it may take lots of years for this change to be enacted, but I feel it would change the world. Look at China who imposed such a law, at least there was reduction in overpopulation then.
Hhehe, that rabbit seem to capture it better 😂 with laws like that a lot will change honestly. I pray that time will come
The government should consider regulating child bearing more especially now that our country is witnessing economy crisis.
Regulate of child bearing will help reduce population in the country
My dear, they should, it will do us good. Unfortunately their minds are far from things like this
Yes

I actually feel that child birth control is something to be looked at in naija, but the truth is that naija has no basis for doing that, so it's almost impossible for now
Hhehe, you are right, for now it's impossible, it might take a very long period of time for something like that to be out into consideration
A lot of awareness campaign should be carried out down to the remote part of the country on the ills of giving birth to some many children. Parents need to be educated in this aspect and a compulsory birth control policy made, with a punishment of any default. Too much of everything is indeed bad

If only wishes were horse ma, but we as individuals can help ourselves and the future generations by preaching this and also practicing it as well
Haha 😆😆😂
All through this post, you sounded as if you are quarrelling with many parents, hahaha 😂
I couldn't stop laughing at your expression
But it's quite understandable
As it stands, only the law can correct our heads..but will it happen?
#dreemerforlife
LoL, Mommy, I am really quarrelling with them o. This thing is getting out of hand. I just hope the government will do something about it soon sha
For sure, I'm in support of such law too but let them give a reasonable limit.😂
Ah, ah. Why are you bothered about the limit? This man enn😂
So if I want to have 4, the law will now tell me to stop at 1. E no good ooo!😅
It's so funny how people give birth to so many kids only to end up not taking good care of them.
But I believe that regulating the number of children every family gives birth to will only reduce the population and not the poverty level.

They are "selling" you the Agenda 2030 👇 - a beautifully packed big lie about a better world (in almost every aspect).
But what you will get if you fall for that propaganda is exactly the opposite of all of the above listed!
If China wasn't a good enough lesson, then we are still very stupid!
You should read this comment in which a man nailed down China's case, in response to the article on the same topic.
