Nigerian singer Korede Bello has advocated for couples to have more children, claiming that bringing more people to the world would significantly increase the chances of geniuses being born.

Speaking in a video broadcast, Bello noted that the late music genius Michael Jackson, who was the seventh child of his parents, wouldn’t have been born if his parents decided to have fewer children.

He lamented that many people are now having just one child or fewer children.

He appealed to parents to have many children, stressing that the world needs more musical geniuses 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.”
