        Research proves empowering women through education, adequate healthcare and the ability to control their on reproductive health is a more effective way to reduce birth rate and child mortality. It’s win win.

        No. Nigeria is well able to take care of its population if only they clamped down on corruption and used their resources better. Stop paying more attention to those greedy international oil corporations and focus on empowering their pple more.

        Limiting the number of children a woman can have is sexist and makes women vulnerable to men’s patriarchal egotism. This law will reduce women to submissive robots once they’ve reached the limit of children the law permits just to avoid senseless divorce.
