Abagworo: Yes, I guess the constitution of Nigeria gives them the latitude to have as much children as they can but the real world will whip them into line when the bills & school fees pile up. Why not have like 2 & give them your best? I rather look shabby & my children glow than giving birth to kids strangers wouldn’t even want to carry. I have many kids that I am not tempted to carry as it is evident that they are not well taken care of. Dem plenty well well for dis Lagos. 12 Likes |

. The koko to how they cope is food rationing, they do not go to fancy restaurants only except on big occasions e.g Christmas. Food rationing is how they cope, once there is food they can manage to have 10 children . Hint they did not eat two times a day. So a child is always underweight or have kwaskhor.kwaskhor Your senior sibling outfit will eventually become your clothes. If a child is sick or dies, the family grieve and move on. Sometimes sex is the only way for the poor to enjoy hence the woman is pregnant again. Condoms are expensive to the poor, why buy condoms when you can use the money for good , transport or medicine. And their lifestyle is different, some can live in one small room with no tv , one stove and have 5 children. Have you met an Aboki who work as a gate man with 2 wives and many children? 10 Likes |

uninspired07: Bro, don't work by sight, work by faith. I come from a family of 7 kids. We went through the toughest of times because my God fearing popsi will not compromise his faith to practice corruption. In the end what we gained most is character, humility, discipline and a fierce fighting spirit. No single sense of entitlement. Today our last born is in a private university. Our first is a bank manager, second is a doctor in law lecturing in a prestigious university in Melbourn, I have just established a multi million naira factory, my younger ones are starting up real good. Believe me when I say Nigeria is better now than before. I still remember during Abacha era when my family will have absolutely nothing to eat some days despite both my parents being senior civil servants. My popsi stayed beck at home on two occasions because no TP to get to work. People actually fed from trash cans back then. Like I said don't work by sight. Work by faith. I know this because when I look at my popsi now am just happy for him. We are still coming up and he is already balling. Remember children are the blessing of God. 7 Likes |

uninspired07: Continue to have just one child while someone 10 yrs younger than u from the north already has 5 and still counting. Later you will wonder how come they have more population during election period. This your mentality is the reason the north will always dictate who wins election in this country. Shalom! 1 Like |

While you keep limiting children or follow family planning on not having more than 2 children, the North keep breeding for political reason and advantage. They will keep ruling and lording over us with their population advantage. |

Taeewo: Most iku omo is caused by poverty. When you born plenty, you can't take care of them cos your resources are stretched. Those who born like rabbits find it very difficult to upgrade their lives out of poverty. For instance, they can't even get Canadian papers.

All these stories of 2or 4 kids doesn't add up to me: on the contrary, why should one have even 4 kids in a country with low life expectancy, bad road and terrible health couple non functional educational system when I have the financial capacity to take care of dozen. Our problem is that we copy the white without applying any sense of logic. In our peculiar environment, please born as many as you can take good care of. If you don't, sure you'll take care of other people or relative responsibility. My father had 21 lost 2, having 19 left we are all are virtually doing great, supporting each other. Having experience joy of large family, I can never ask for a thin or slim family. My father about 2 years acknowledging that he would have been dead 10 years to his time if not for the children he had. Suleja-Minna road was blocked down for his Janaiza prayer cos crowd and personalities that attended the burial. I have 4 kids now, attending one of the best schools in town and by His Grace more are coming. |

With all the hatred and ill feelings people have been harboring these days towards their fellow human beings, sincerely, we are not supposed to be giving births again.

abdulizom: I am Christian & a sotlutherner & my religion doesn’t teach me to have many children. In fact I am limited to one wife. If one is a northerner, it’s understandable if one births many children as the predominant religion other there & the culture encourages multiple birth. To each his own. But I would counsel that any reasonable southerner plans his family as Nigeria is not a good place to train kids. 5 Likes |

uninspired07: Bros, how old are you? No insult but you sound quite immature. You can plan and plan for the future yet, it'll remain unknown to you. Have you seen families with 2 kids in abject poverty? Have you seen families of 8 living very well (rich in fact)? Have 2 kids out of preference and not because of economy. Recession affects everyone; 2 kids or 10 kids. It doesn't factor the number of seed you have. Okay? 1 Like |

uninspired07:You have a very good and healthy reasoning. Me, no matter where I live or how wealthy I am, I want to have just 2 or at most 3 biological kids of my own, and this my stand, my wife has accepted. It doesn't have to be Nigerians living in Nigeria alone, even those living outside Nigeria should stop giving birth to more than 3 kids at most no matter the gender of your kids. I think it is the ladies that cause it. Most Nigerian ladies love having plenty kids for reason I don't know. My wife for instance wanted 4 or 5 kids but I told her no, we can't have more than 3. Northern Nigerians are another people posing big threat to Nigeria's population control with their polygamy practice without considering their financial or economic status, they are a ticking time bomb in Nigeria waiting to explode the nation ![]() If you love plenty children or you love kids like me, you can accept from motherless homes which I plan to do by God's grace. The whole world need population control, not just Nigeria 7 Likes 1 Share |

Oga it's different strokes for different folks. It all depends on which side you are looking from, either the glass is half empty or half full; Perception. One guy said" it's because of you kids that I'm poor" another said " it's because of you kids that I'm wealthy". Besides God said be fruitful, multiply and replenish. It all depends on your capacity bro not on the economy, inside this economy we are complaining, people are still hitting it big time. But then again it still our choice to make |
