January 24, 2018 – Our Daily Manna Publisher Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe Calls For Population Control To Check Crimes
By Seun Ogunseitan
The world renowned publisher of the international Christian Devotional, ”Our Daily Manna, Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe has blamed unbridled population growth and crass irresponsibility of parents in parts of the country, for the upsurge in terrorism and kidnappings across the country.
The fiery preacher, specifically identified lack of proper parental care and absence of parental control and discipline in many homes, for the large number of miscreants, now engaged in diverse criminal acts across the country. The clergy man, also identified the collapse of the family and family values across the country, as a major cause of the gross criminality, now common particularly among young Nigerians.
In an interview in Lagos, the Pharmacist-turned Preacher of the Gospel, advised the Federal, State and Local governments of Nigeria to put checks in place to discourage irresponsible child-rearing, particularly among the country’s remotest areas if the current marginal victories against hitherto unusual vices in the country, are to be lasting victories.
Bishop Chris said a wayward and unemployed father of 10 children, is a father to 10 probable criminals. The level of criminality by cultists and kidnappers in many parts of southern Nigeria and religious extremism like that of the Boko Haram in the north, are mostly being propped by the supply of large number of children who lacked families showing any love and had nobody to give any parental guidance.
According to the Philosophic preacher, economic adversities are not known anywhere in the world, to be reversed or reversible by increased number of children. Rather, it has been proven conclusively that unbridled population growth is actually a strong causative factor for worsening poverty and an attendant rise in criminality.
The 52-year old Delta State-born, University of Ile-Ife trained Pharmacist, who is also an accomplished author and publisher of one of Africa’s most popular Christian devotional is himself a father of three children. He pointed out that Nigeria’s situation has become worsened because farming and diverse forms of agriculture, which would ordinarily have acted as a natural mop, providing jobs, food and fibre for large populations of youths, has been abandoned for years. Yet the people who by culture and tradition, used to marry many wives and have high number of children to use as farm hands, have continued to breed children they have no capacity to even feed or nurture and train.
The Bishop emphasised that the palpable collapse of homes and absence of any enduring family structure, is today, forcing girls into prostitution and boys into all manner of criminal gangs and cults. The lack of proper parental guidance has seen unemployed and unemployable men and women, even teenagers, becoming murderers in money-making rituals and attempts, across the country.
Bishop Chris urged serious governmental attention to the dangers of large number of homes today, without any father figures and increasing number of absentee mothers. He pointed out that nothing can adequately replace the role of good parental guidance and love, in the proper upbringing of children and their molding to men and women of value and virtue.

what nonsense is he saying?. Sounds like trying to say “birth control” is the solution. What a fukrey is that?. US population is way too higher than nigeria. Their people continue to have babies and many homes are broken. Is Nigeria homes more broken than them?. There are women in America with 10 to 17 kids by different baby fathers. US economy takes care of them.
Fix your damn economy. You cant possibly control how many kids people should have. United State dont care about number of children in the family. Matter of fat, they do sensor geographically in order to allocate funds locally.
Fix your economy. Tell govt to fix the damn economy. It is not always president’s fault but crooks around him. Pastor needs to talk about politician looting billions. Where are those recovered monies at?. Arent that enough to fix electricity, roads, free healthcare,health insurance, life insurance, free school, retirement funds?. But some individual chose to sit on this money while citizen languish in poverty. My friend pastor, you gave lazy opinion, sir.

Fix your damn economy. You cant possibly control how many kids people should have. United State dont care about number of children in the family. Matter of fact, they do censor geographically in order to allocate funds locally and approapriately.
Fix your economy. Tell govt to fix the damn economy. It is not always president’s fault but crooks around him. Pastor needs to talk about politician looting billions. Where are those recovered monies at?. Arent that enough to fix electricity, roads, free healthcare,health insurance, life insurance, free school, retirement funds?. But some individual chose to sit on this money while citizen languish in poverty. My friend pastor, you gave lazy opinion, sir. Nigeria can’t be more populated than US. Nigeria cant have more broken homes than US. Despite broken homes, and many are homeless, those homeless people have basic rights. There are govt shelter across the country. Why nigeria cannot do that?.
Having babies is God-given gift that should never ever be impacted. Enforce law and order. Fire corrupt govt officials and replaced them with qualified candidates. And there should be annual program for federal govt to monitor state and local govt allocation funds, to ensure they are properly disbursed.
