Korede Bello Raises Concern Over Declining Birth Rates
Korede Bello has sparked conversation after urging couples to have more children, saying it could increase the chances of raising future geniuses.
The Nigerian singer pointed to Michael Jackson as an example, noting that the late legend was the seventh child in his family and might not have been born if his parents had stopped earlier.
He questioned the growing trend of smaller families, observing that many couples now choose to have one child or fewer.
Bello acknowledged that economic pressures influence such decisions but wondered how society would continue if family sizes keep shrinking.
He argued that larger families could create more opportunities for exceptional talent to emerge, especially in music and the arts.
The comments have drawn mixed reactions, with some agreeing with his perspective while others point to financial realities and changing lifestyles as key factors shaping family choices today.
