Afrobeats singer and songwriter Korede Bello has advised against the current trend of couples having only one or two children, advocating instead for larger families.
The 30-year-old artist gave the counsel recently while speaking in a now-trending broadcast video.
According to Bello, bringing more people into the world significantly increases the chances of geniuses being born.

He argued that the late music genius Michael Jackson would not have been born if his parents had decided to have fewer children, given that he was the seventh child.
He went on to appeal to parents to consider having more children, stressing that the world needs more musical geniuses like 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 on with the 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 houses will be filled with children again? We need more Michael Jacksons.”
