Why Do Poor People In Our Society Like Having Plenty Kids? by bongolistik(m): 6:33pm On Sep 18, 2016 |
Well even in this modern age of ours, you will see mostly poor people that cannot even fend for themselves well giving birth like dog, 7,8, 9 or even 10 children in some cases. You will see rich men giving birth to 3 to 4 kids even if they can fend for all very well but poor people never learn, they will always keep on producing babies and next thing they will start looking for who will help them train some. What is wrong in Just having only 2 babies if you know that your only source of income is selling rat poison? Is this not a purely self inflicted injury? Do you pity some of them in their self inflicted predicament maybe when infant hospital bills come up or children school fees and they are unable to pay ? 44 Likes 1 Share |

... During the old days the poor people give birth to many children because of their farm work and other physical challenge work. But now the reason is, wen a man has no job his brain workless and he has more energy in him ,so al he could think of is konji cos he sees his woman every minute walkin up n down ... you don't expect him to buy #50 CD cos he will rather use it to buy garri 141 Likes 7 Shares |

Comparing people to dogs is very disrespectful. I guess this trend is because many have close to no access to family planning. Also, literate ladies tend to focus more on their careers, making them start families later on, contrary to illiterate ladies. Poor communities have a high death rate, so they always feel like compensating their loss. Truth be spoken, one never gets fulfilled because the dead child remains dead, while the parents keep popping out more "compensatory kids". Silly me thinks making babies becomes a hobby since there are no jobs, no one goes to school, no deadlines etc. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

IamWestAfrican: My point is: you created this thread off the back of the cancer related thread. Yes the couple in question have seven kids. And yes the husband sells rat poison for a living. But you've totally missed the focus of that story which is about them not being able to afford the hospital bill for the woman's cancer treatment / mastectomy. That is the essence of that story and not how many kids they've got. Or did you read somewhere that they were seeking assistance for raising their kids?? 10 Likes |
Re: Why Do Poor People In Our Society Like Having Plenty Kids? by Nobody: 8:28pm On Sep 18, 2016 |
IamWestAfrican: Very true indeed, but lets compare (the coloured) between these two people, the illiterate jobless class and literate working class in terms of the op's question. Obviously literacy is not the major contributing factor, neither does it determine how many kids one should have, but better family planning is a luxury to the literate. I've seen people give birth to numerous kids hoping that the monthly governmental grant will fend for the kids, grant that is not even enough for that one child. Why then do they continue giving birth? My first comment has some of the reasons This happens right at that time time when the working class is complaining about low pay, high bills etc I repeat, literacy is not the major factor for this trend but it adds to the many |

1. It is because they mostly don't understand the mathematics of quality life and investment. They just keep at it hoping at least one of the kids will be highly successful to change their stories forgetting that they are practically reducing the children's chances of success by sharing the funds for 2 on 6. 2. Baby dances is highly recreational as its the cheapest and most interesting exercise they could afford. 3. They have low access to family planning info: natural or otherwise. 4. They mostly start out pretty early thus stay in childbearing age for longer duration than their rich folks counterparts. 5. Sometimes, its a competition within the compound. 6. The poor women mostly stay in shape for longer periods than the rich women because they do a lot of unintentionally exercises! They walk like kilode, they are heavy dancers in churches and events, they use manual styles for a lot of chores- blending pepper, washing cloths and plates, pounding yam, etc. 7. The poor man isn't as busy as the rich man, he doesn't have to think too hard about finances as much as the man who already has plenty of cash. Thus, has more than to spend with his woman. 7. Poor people easily find happiness in little things unlike the rich. Happy people hug more, kiss more and of course do... 27 Likes 3 Shares |

jagugu88li: I do agree that family planning is a luxury to the literate class, and that the more literate a person is, the more shrewd s/he is likely to be in his-her approach to child-breeding. However, I do not think high mortality rate could factor among what propels poor people into indiscriminate child-breeding. Where did you get your statistics from? Your statistics that says that poor people have comparatively shorter lifespans. |

IamWestAfrican: Hahahahaha, don kill me with laff abeg. I agree with you Sir infact, I think I didn't make myself clear. People in general have an unknown lifespan obviously because people die regardless of age, class, religion, illness etc But you will agree with me that poor people have less resources like money to cater for their basic needs which include shelter (hygienic environments), hospital bills, food, clothing etc As a result, the death rate is high compared to that of a higher class. Go to swamps and public hospitals, find out the death rate. Again go to middle - upper class residents and private hospitals and do the same. The difference should be able give you clarity. Our lifespan is obviously unknown but, poor people are more exposed to death resulting conditions. 3 Likes |

jagugu88li: Agreed that the poor, due to their financial deficiencies, have little to zero access to qualitative living, yet, why is mortality rate evenly distributed among the three societal classes in Nigeria? It really doesn't matter. In fact, it seems the poor are outliving the bourgeoise. Your premise that the poor are guilty of indiscriminate child-breeding because they intend to make up for their downsized population is wrong. You should have listed more germane causes like: —Illteracy, and non-knowledge of family planning —Inaccessibility to contraceptives, either due to cost, or due to poor orientation towards the usage of condoms et al. —Non-knowledge of vasectomy e.t.c. 2 Likes |

Blame it on awareness. Most of these poor people don't know about family planning, some of them don't have the money even though they're not expensive. Some because of their iliteracy will refuse even if you give them free. What will you say about churches whose members will tell you that using condom is a sin?
