In a thought-provoking video message, Nigerian singer Korede Bello called on couples to expand their families, arguing that increasing the global population raises the odds of producing exceptional talents. He emphasized that the world risks losing potential geniuses if parents continue to limit the number of children they have.
Bello highlighted the late pop icon Michael Jackson as an example, noting that Jackson was the seventh child in his family. If his parents had stopped having children earlier, the world might never have known his musical brilliance. The singer expressed concern over the growing trend of having only one child, which he believes reduces the chances of birthing extraordinary individuals.
He lamented that it is increasingly rare to find young couples with three children nowadays, largely due to economic pressures. Bello acknowledged the financial challenges that deter people from having larger families but urged parents not to let economic constraints completely suppress the desire to populate the earth. He posed a rhetorical question about how humanity will sustain itself and produce more geniuses if the trend continues.
The singer concluded his appeal by stating that the world desperately needs more Michael Jacksons. He called for a revival of larger families, where homes are once again filled with children, to ensure that future generations inherit a world abundant with talent and innovation.
