Nigerian singer Korede Bello has spoken on his belief that families should consider having more children, saying this could increase the chances of more talented people being born in the world.
He made this known in a video message where he reflected on the life of music legend Michael Jackson.
He pointed out that Michael Jackson was the seventh child in his family and suggested that if his parents had chosen to stop having children earlier, the world might never have known his musical talent.
According to him, many couples today prefer to have only one child or very few children. He expressed concern about this growing trend and said it is becoming less common to see families with multiple children.

He wondered if society would still experience the kind of large households that were more common in the past.
He linked larger families with the possibility of more gifted individuals being born, saying the world still needs more people with rare creative ability like Michael Jackson.
Bello said, “I have been wondering – what if Michael Jackson’s mother had stopped at two or six kids? He was the seventh. Imagine a world without him just because she chose fewer children. Now many people are having just one child. It is very rare to find a young couple with three kids these days.
“What is going with this fewer kids people are having nowadays. I understand that the economic situation limits our desires to populate the earth. But how are we going to continue like this? Are we ever going to get to a place where the house will be filled with children again? We need more Michael Jacksons.”
