Nigerian singer Korede Bello has encouraged couples to consider having more children, arguing that larger families could increase the chances of raising exceptional talents.
Speaking in a recent video, the artiste pointed to legendary pop icon Michael Jackson as an example. He noted that Jackson, who was the seventh child in his family, might never have been born if his parents had chosen to have fewer children.

Bello expressed concern over what he described as a growing trend of smaller families, observing that many couples now opt for just one child or limit the number of children they have.
According to him, while economic challenges play a role in such decisions, reducing family size could have unintended consequences for the future.
He questioned whether society might miss out on producing more extraordinary individuals if the trend continues.
“We need more people who can inspire the world,” Bello said, emphasizing that having more children could increase the likelihood of discovering talents similar to Michael Jackson.
The singer’s comments have sparked conversations online, with many weighing the balance between economic realities and family size in today’s world.
