OP God bless you. If you're still hustling, this 2020 ehn your hustle must reach permanent site. You don't know how happy I am when I chance upon Nigerians that reason well like you. Our land is filled with folks who prefer to live in denial of reality. It's part of the reason for our poverty. I keep telling people that getting married isn't such a big deal. I think at this age with the little I know about life and my discipline, I can handle marriage. The real deal is raising kid(s). If that part doesn't scare you, bro/sis I troway salute o. You try pass me. 5 Likes |

uninspired07:I totally agree with you OP, but may I please ask that you adopt the 2 instead of having them biologically. In the midst of grinding economic depression, please lead by example and take 2 children in in stead of creating more - prove your altruism. 5 Likes 1 Share |

erifeoluwasimi:I have two, a boy and a girl. Do you know at my place of work they told me that i hate children for not wanting to have more. I tried to explain to them that even to take care of these ones is a tug of war, why should i want to bring more into these world to suffer them. I am even segregated for saying two is enough foe me. 4 Likes |

Preetychina22: Then you have even poorer logic too.....you may not even have any logic at all Everyone has different opinion....Poverty respects no one. Whether you have 2 or 10 kids. When there is poverty, the difference will hardly be noticeable |

LZAA: All throughout the West, birth/fertility rates have dropped below population replacement level (around 2 children per woman), which means if not for immigration, many Western countries would have receding populations. China despite relaxing its one child rule has a very low birth rate. It's in the natural cycle of developed or seriously developing economies to have low birth rates due to the empowered, career-focused female population. It's generally mostly the poorest, most poorly educated, underdeveloped countries in the world (like most of subsaharan Africa) where people still breed like rats and cultivate a vicious cycle of poverty. 5 Likes |

RealMillennial: I think the reason why average people can have many kids in Nigeria is they don’t pay attention to the socio-political condition of Nigeria. They know nothing of Geo politics or national security. They think they are ensconced from the madness in upnorth. They feel Nigeria cannot erupt into war of famine anytime soon. I just don’t feel comfortable raising many kids in Nigeria as presently constituted. 1 Like 1 Share |

Blueelf: This is a lie & you know it but I won’t argue with you. You just want more innocent Nigerians to fall into the poverty hole you’ve dug yourself into. If my education cannot teach me to fear Nigeria, what have my parents gained in educating me? This is a failed contraption & our children deserve better. 4 Likes |

uninspired07: I'm curious here, mind answering my question? You said if the 1st baby is a male, what if the 1st baby is a female? What happens then? What if the 2nd baby is also a female, what happens then? All are children but I'm asking you because of your specific statement about the 1st child being a male. If you're ready to stop after two females, what about your wife? Will she agree to stop after having two female children even when your own statement is pregnant? You guys need to consider all possibilities before making a futile promise to each other because you don't get to choose between male and female child even at giving birth twice. But I wonder when I see Nigerians that are not so wealthy giving birth to 4 - 5 kids in the midst of grinding economic depression and in a nation that has clearly failed. Don’t these Nigerians know that the country can descend into war anytime due to the instability that is so palpable? I get afraid when I see couples who have 4 children in this day & age so I always wonder how they are coping with the stress & the bills. I also wonder why they are not afraid of Nigeria. Is there a special formula to protect one or two children during the war as against having 4 or 5 kids? 2 Likes |

001bumsa: Don’t mind them. They want to see you & your kids stuck & suffering in Nigeria. Take care of those kids & get them a passport so you can all flee out of Nigeria at short notice. At least God has blessed you with a boy so you have nothing to fear. God bless. 3 Likes |

001bumsa: Do not allow the narrow-mindedness of semi-literates get at you. Just imagine their excuse, you hate children, emotions/sentiments. One can easily deduce they are illiterates or semi-literates at best for not dealing with facts/reality but emotions. 4 Likes |

Amanda4life:That's fine if you have the resources to cater for them. If you don't have enough to cater for them, they'll become a burden to the society at large. That's why you find a woman in a public bus carrying 4 kids and intending to pay for just one seat. Her plan is to ask other people to lap the kids for her: because they are kids. I never did that.

Nigeria good or not,you are just irresponsible if you have a baby that you can't cater for The painful part is someone will just see one lavish money and bam he don born 4 give them good primary and secondary school after that money no come again he can't afford tertiary education so they resort to the street,this is the case of so many..... 1 Like |
