Kenyan billionaire businessman Jimi Wanjigi has urged Kenyans to bear as many children as they can.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the tycoon argues that having many children will make Kenya great and that the country has enough wealth to take care of them.
"Over the years Wazungus have told us about family planning, don't make many children, everybody two-two, you don't have the money, land or food. It is fake," Wanjigi says.
“If you ask me we are not enough. Greatness is in numbers. We have enough resources in this country to create numbers,” he adds.
He terms the narrative advanced by Western countries as fake, noting that countries such as China, India, Ethiopia, and Nigeria are developed yet they have large populations.
"China is great because of numbers. Don't let anyone lie to you. Let us make babies in the family unit, if, unfortunately, we do not succeed, we do it elsewhere. These children are our power today. We want many children in this republic," he notes.
“Go to Ethiopia they are 100 million. Check Nigeria, I was with friends of ours from there. Friends of President (Uhuru Kenyatta) and I. They told us they are estimated to be 230 million people. But here we are dealing with 42 million people. No”.
He asks Kenyans to make many children even if it means getting them out of wedlock, noting that large population translates to a huge market.
“Get married and make babies. Numbers is a market. Don’t be cheated. Let’s make babies in the family unit. If we don’t succeed there we do it elsewhere. These children are our power today and our power tomorrow. Clap for me for that.”

Perhaps when some individuals become bilionares they loose touch with reality and become psychotic. Huyu mjinga must be stoned with synthetic street drugs. Overpopulation is an undesirable condition whereby the number of existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of Earth and it's resources. We have so many kids who lack basic needs, he should sponsor them coz money to him aint a problem.

A billionaire can bear as many children as he is able to,but you cannnot say the same for a thousanaire.
@ XG, I agree with you that some billionaires loose touch with reality...
Chinese men he quotes now have a problem with shortage of women. They are even making dolls to fill in for the shortage of women.China is a bad example from the billionaire.
Does he want all the kids to live in the slums. I have a cousin,40 years old with 8 children.We were never that close,but some how he expects me to help him feed his kids. This is what would exponentially happen if we listen the billionaire.
Kenya is not under populated.We are"over populated".I would follow the billionaires directive,if he cleans all the slums in Kenya, with his billions.
And the billionaire is ignoring the fact that, wazungu used to have many kids.But with time, they dwindled down to 2.5. Now they can afford agood standard of living,and even support africans who have over reproduced.
Quality and standard of living is paramount.No body can argue that the fewer kids you have, the bigger pie they would have.

This Wanjigi guy, one of the kings of corruption and cartels was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never suffered in his life because his father paved a rosy life for him through tax payers money during the Moi era. When we ask ourselves what happened to Kenya after independence that we are still lagging behind, that we can not FEED our population, well, the Wanjigis happened along with other thugs who took the common mwananchi for a ride and taught their kids to do the same. That is continue to oppress the poor. Jimmy is just emulating what his father taught him and that is to look at the poor in terms of numbers and potential for personal gain not as precious human beings who have a right to self determination.

Wanjigi's two kids go to Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland where it costs $133,000 per child per year to attend excluding sports, private lessons, excursions and other extra curricular activities. Wanjigi needs a population to keep demand for public services moving and he can be the broker between the government and service providers - that will maintain his expensive lifestyle. If your kids go to Wacororo, Kaheti, Wanga Pala, Mwatate, Kangemi High, Ingo, Chwele, Malava, Waa etc Don't dare listen to what he has to say, period! Lanes my friends.

If 'population' was the secret to a countries economic success, a lot of countries would have adopted that criteria.
Increase in population is just increase in population.It will not lead to any increase in income, investments or market.

Jimmy, how many children do you have yourself? How many wives do you have? Perhaps you can start by marrying 30 more wives. See Minji Minji for advice. If you want people to have more kids, ask them to bring them to you. You have a lot of wealth to share and bring them up. Don’t remind us all that your wealth was stolen from these poor parents that you disparage. Can you explain to us how you became a billionaire? Wahuna humbira nda. Because you have much wealth, adopt a thousand kids and send their mothers to the field to get you some more. I thought you were more sensible than that. Unfortunately you are not.
