The Beijing Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning said on Tuesday
that more than 30,000 Beijing couples have applied to have second child since the capital eased its one-child policy in February 2014.
Zhong Dongbo, the Deputy Head of the Commission, said in Beijing that out of the 30,305 applicants, 28,778 had been approved.
He said the number was, however, lower than the 50,000 expected, adding that “many couples who wanted to have second child chose not to have them this year, but this does not mean that they won’t have them in future.
“Maybe they’re just not ready, maybe it is due to economic cost or time cost or they are contented with one child.”
Dongbo said Beijing was prepared for an increase of 50,000 births every year.
He said an extra 1,000 beds would be arranged in Beijing hospitals within three years. - pmnewsnigeria

This one na serious population control .
DeleteHow can they try to control something as natural as procreation? But I'm not surprised, it's China!.....aren't they the ones that eat newborns as a cuisine, go figure.
NewBie!
11?nne iri too much.
DeletePlease they should make such a law in Nigeria I beg, them dey born like tomorrow no dey and no money to train them.
DeleteoH steLLa Ukwu Sugar.. If one mistakenly gets PreGGers for a 2nd Child. The Child Gets aborted and the mild Fat (collagen) in the baby is transfered to Vaseline/Body Cream Factory. Collagen is an essential constituent of Dencia's Whitenicious/ other expensive bleaching cream. If u doubt me. Google is ur Boo.
ReplyDeleteChina does the most disgusting act of the 21st century. I am not surprised..
Be informed! Collagen is not 'mild fat' it's a protein that is responsible for regenerating worn out tissues that is why it is good for wrinkles and ageing skin.
DeleteEewwww! That's a joke right?

ReplyDeleteMistakenly gets pregnant? Well, its their law and they have to abide the the rules
ReplyDeleteGood. Fortunately, all figures will be approved.
ReplyDeleteAsking 4 approval kwa
DeleteAsking for approval to fulfil God's given command and ability. "Be fruitful be many and fill the earth"...na waooo
ReplyDeleteAnother question is 'What of the pregnancy turns out to be twins or triplets'? Wahala dey be that!!! Chidi
ReplyDeleteThey ll be fined!
DeleteFined? For an act that is not of their making.
DeleteStella, I have a Chinese friend with 2 kids.
ReplyDeleteShe once told me you can have more than one kid but you pay a heavy fine. And you forego government's miserly benefits for the second child.
True. I have a friend from Guangzhou who's the first child of her parents.
DeleteShe once told me about a childhood memory of the government officials taking away her dad's motorbike when her younger sister was born because he did not have money to pay the fine and how she and her mom cried inconsolably. She was about 7 then.
The story made us laugh at the time but I just saw it now through the eyes of citizens of the country. It was an extreme measure but apt because the population explosion was getting uncontrollable.
Dear Linda, the Chinese are highly disciplined unlike our Nigerian brothers laying sperm everywhere!
ReplyDeleteDis is stella
DeleteDear anon, her name starts with "S"
DeleteSo who is she?
But Nigerians don't birth as much and as irresponsibly as Americans,tho.
DeleteHey, where you think u are? Das ist SDK blog, bitte.
DeleteOver there,ud abort o if u mistakenly get pregnant without d authority given u permission to birth...IMO i think such rule sef should b applied in nigeria so as to curb a popper birthing up 6kids knowing fully well they can't cater for d kids and den go around begging for arms...it bad enough we r already overpopulated with little or no jobs for d youth
ReplyDelete#Gbam! I get so furious when I see parents carrying little children about like an aboki with a herd of cattle.
DeleteSomeone who make less than 30K in a month yet has 5 kids. Someone who lives in a room face me I slap you yet has 5kids. No good food, dirty clothing(hand me down mostly) no proper education, if a child fall sick, they will be looking for herbal remedies.
They are making auxillary nurses rich cos they can't afford to go to a hospital YET they keep popping out kids every year.
Mtscheewww.
Apologies Stella. I love you both. Catch my kisses!
ReplyDeleteDear Stella, the Chinese are highly disciplined unlike our Nigerian brothers laying sperm everywhere!
ReplyDeleteStella good morning, I wish this type of measure will be apply to Nigeria system, don't just bring in an innocent child to this world to suffer, am going through hell to help my family, mama nad papa wey bring us to life no de again to support us, sometime I feel like committing suicide
ReplyDeleteThe Government want to control population.
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff but real..wow!! Seeking approval to have more kids?? Different stokes...
ReplyDeleteMistakely? Na to carry pikin go another village and born. Shikena.
ReplyDeleteStupid law.
You think they are like nigerian who does not hv a proper record of its citizens? Oya match go another village go born.
DeleteNo its not stupid, when u hv a population of 1billion, u take severe birth control measures. Have u eva heard of population explosion?
DeleteOrisirisi....That policy should be adopted in Nigeria but I know is not possible.Parents bringing up to 5 or 6 children to the world and are not capable of catering to their needs.
ReplyDeleteHmmm so someone nid permission to give birth Ok oh....dey Shud grant dem dere wish...dat one no fit happen for 9ja
ReplyDeleteCool & Organised Country ....Nigeria really needs dz Policy
ReplyDeleteNa flushing matter Stella sugar. kai this sugar sound one kind.
ReplyDeleteWith your cute picture, no one will believe the way you casually addressed abortion as "flushing matter". Insane people who did "your flushing" still remembers killing a baby maybe you don't.
DeleteWe should adopt dis in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteHmm..good for them...uniki Daniel..read your mail o..thanks.. lop
ReplyDeleteNa wa o, when Iya blessing on my street has 10 kids already.

Gud morning Stellacokes!
Mistaken get pregnant and mistakenly leave there. Dis law should be for my poor tailor frnd. U av a girl and two boys, finding it difficult to train them yet u want to add three more...poor man na wa
ReplyDeleteNa wah!
ReplyDeleteSee talk oh.
But does anyone, government included have the right to tell legally married couples the number of children they should bear?
When did we get here bikonu?
I think this is intimidation.
So far as a couple can take care of their offsprings financially and otherwise, they can birth as much as they can.
It should only be a crime when couples bring many kids into the world to suffer for no reason.
I understand they want to control population and all that, but I also know this world has enough space for us all biko.
Thank God I don't live in such countries anyway.
I must have my 4 kids oh.
Warming up for the next one sef...
Odiegwu!
If not for the pregnancy stress and delivery pains, na 10 I for like born sef.
RME
I love large families especially if they are united and all are doing reasonably well.
It can be fun menh.
You are very right oo i need ur kind of woman cos i love babies
Deleteget e kisses
Mwahhhh buh make ur man no take da kiss personal oo a no know u no wea o na just E kiss. lol
The world has enough space for everyone? U mean earth where over 70% is covered by water? Or u will live in space?
DeleteGlobalisation comes wit a lot of stress on the already large world population, the air we breathe is not even very clean anymore because of industrialization. Food production is not enough to feed as there is now a geometric progression in population size eg 2,4,16, 256, instead of arithmetic progression 2,4,6,8,10.
Stop being sentimental.
Why stop at 4? Try 5.
I cannot believe this comment is coming from Genny baby, I just can't...
DeleteNatural resources cannot support populations anymore. Potable water aquifers are seriously depleted, pollution is the order of the day and you think the world has enough space for all? SMH
Please, don't take this as an insult because I really do admire you. Just try to be a bit more informed about issues world over, okay. Split your SDK blog reading time into two and devote some part into getting more informed about the world you live in.
Much love.
Nelo can you please mind your damn business?
DeleteI've been ignoring the subtle shades you throw at me for long.
Don't take my silence for cowardice.
My life, my choice.
Look who is talking about sentiments.
LOL!
Food production is not enough to feed people right?
Wow! Yet someone I know greedily eats up to 10 people's portion all by herself after which she explodes and rolls around the whole place.
And she has the nerve to preach...
Hypocrisy at it's peak!
The horror!
I won't warn you again miss.
Kindly respect yourself and stay off my lane!!!
BTW break your head solving maths that doesn't concern you ok.
RME
@Anon 08:18, LMAO!
Better person.
Thanks for making me laugh out so loud.
I don catch the kiss sharp sharp oh.
Kai! E sweet die.
Don't worry, darling hubby won't mind so far as it's just e-kiss.
May God bless you with your kind of woman and grant you the means and grace to take very good care of her and your offsprings, Amen.
#Hugs

See better economy. Planning ahead for the expected increase in population. While Nigerian leaders are busy competing amongst themselves who stole the most. Nigeria is still a learner
ReplyDeleteSo funny n poor pple in naija de born like rat... We need dis policy abeg.
ReplyDelete~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
Nawa ooo..someone needs permission to give birth
ReplyDeleteVisit my blog
www.glowyshoe.blogspot.com
That's d questions I had rolling in my head...what if one gets preg d second time?
ReplyDeleteI like dat law so much. Unfortunately, it cant be adopted in Nigeria. It would av brought so much Sanity to the way some men procreate about.
ReplyDeleteDey shud adopt dis in developing countries&Nigeria inclusive. Ur income rates&others wud be checked be4 u cn av a specific number of kids.
ReplyDeleteAbeg make dem bring such laws come naija oooo cos dis my neighbor dat is always given birth like say tomorrow no dey and she no get work oooo husband set con stingy.
ReplyDeleteI heard Nigeria once had a rule like dt during the military regime. Guess Gowon. Official number of kids u can v as a Nigerian was 4 esp if you're a govt worker. Other children beyond the 4 are not entitled to government benefits. Infact there's no space to register them sef when filling or updating your employment form abi wetin dem dey call am.
ReplyDeleteI love d rule jare. Na poor man dey born pass, God forgive me.

funny
ReplyDeleteEvery country with dem on wahala, abeg na dem sabi. I dey focus on my own country wahala.
ReplyDeleteI wish that law was in Nigeria,some poor couples giving birth to 5 to 6 children without being able to cater for them
ReplyDeleteIf wot g-pharm sed is true...God is sooo patient.
ReplyDeleteThe population over there is wow,every1 has to follow the law.most couple wants male child over there and lots of white couple frm USA and Canada go to china to adopt .....so what if one gets pregnant the second time what will now happen ?
ReplyDeleteThe bible says we should multiply but God gave Abraham only 1 legit son..Our God is not an irresponsible Father.
ReplyDeleteJacob had 13 kids bcos of the mischief of his father in law and wives he was saddled with.the woman he truly desired has only 2 (Joseph and Benjamin)..
God gives all children but he gives you enough resources to train the ones He destined for you and your family. If He gave you resources to cater 2 kids and you go and birth 7,then instead of you having 2 kids and giving them the best you can afford, you suffer and struggle to 7 on the resources of 2.then you put unnecessary pressure on the older ones who won't be able to focus on their lives because they have to carry your burden for you first instead of starting their own lives.
Pls,young couples,ask Him before commencing child rearing ,"Father,How many Kids is your will for me".His will is perfect.
Shalom.
forgive my typos.
Oh God,please give us a president that will enact this kind of law.in our own case,four is okay.let me see if bokoharam will recruit animals as bombers. Is it not because of not having this kind of law that the northerners mostly reproduce like fowl.one man with 36 children.
ReplyDeleteI tire for Chinese people.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile for Naija we are ok with 19 even more than dat like Atiku and 2face.For me if I born too much na just 3 o.
ReplyDeleteCoughs! I cannot put mouth for this matter o, because nah half football team I get...ahaha
ReplyDeleteMe don't think the policy will work in 9ja o, with the male syndrome and polygamous mentality? WHOSAI!
My question is, if a couple split up and remarry, will they be allowed to have a child with the new spouse? #curious#
