BBC News - Nigeria population: Sachs' three-baby plan 'tricky'

BBC News - Nigeria population: Sachs' three-baby plan 'tricky': "A Nigerian family planning expert has told the BBC it would be difficult to implement the suggestion that Nigerians should only have three children.

Isaac Ogo pointed to the tradition of polygamy and the belief that the children were seen as a 'gift from God' in a male-dominated society.

Recent UN figures suggest Nigeria's population could jump to 730 million by 2100 - behind only India and China."
