You are partially right, While other communities have 1 or 2 kids max, Muslims in Asia are still having 5,6 kids, I can say this by my personal witness of this in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. mmsen: |

malcom1X:Well the earth is over-populated already and death rate is reducing. Everyother part of the world have accepted this, now reducing their birth rate, creating awareness for birth control, abortion is widely practiced and some men in the west get vasectomy on them selves. Africa and middle east are the only exception, it's worst in Africa, Nigeria esp, our population will grow twice the size by 2035, it's going to be horrible, more crimes will be commited and there would be a massive fall in economy, poverty will be wide spread. I myself don't plan on bringing any kids to this horrible world and I don't think anyone else should but like if you really want a kid, ONE should be enough, for the sake of our planet and it's future inhabitants. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Agreed, Most of the people hate this but truth is We are the Most unproductive people in this world. Some people hate Foreigners but i dont, you Remove Brits, Yankees, Indians, French from this continent, Their know how, Their Products, Their Technical Leadership and we will be left with nothing but Fufu and Ugali also not to forget our Tribalism to sell or kill each other without second thought. zcee: 1 Like |

Larcardii: IN THE OLD DAYS, WE CALL SUCH KIDS BASTARD. GOOGLE THE MEANING OF BASTARD. MARRIAGE IS AN ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE OF AGE AND SEEK TO REPRODUCE. MARRIAGE IS THEIR CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT, RECOGNISED BY LAW, TRADITION AND CHURCH. https://www.google.com/search?q=BASTARD&oq=BASTARD&aqs=chrome..69i57.2731986j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Bastard a person born of parents not married to each other. 2 Likes |

People marry for many reasons, both collective and individual, Which child bearing is undeniably a primary reason especially in Africa. 1 Like |

abysirius:you are almost on the same line without knowing it... The companionship you talked about is expected to come from the children when you must have become old..because the govt barely has plans to cater for the aged... So you invest in the children property to save your aged asss when the time comes... Let me also add that in some cultures you eagerly anticipate the day your daughter will finally bring home a rich son-in law...lol ... We forever on "survival mode" every relationship is transactional... The senator is 101% right no need for the twist. |

malcom1X: It takes a lot of time, patience, emotional intelligence and material resources to raise one child, not to speak of five. Typically, people who think that it is normal to have 5 children lack most, if not all, of those traits. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

He has made an important point, far more important than what is discussed here but people will not pay attention to what is important but to what makes them emotional. This is what should be highlighted: “In the developed world, particulars of a child’s blood group is given at birth. A test is done to show the blood group, the genotype before leaving. In the birth certificate of the child, all those things are put in place. We should not be waiting for when people want to go and marry, that is when they will start checking their genotype and their blood group, it shouldn’t be.” As for his statement that Africans marry to have children. Isn't it true? Why are you people so upset? How many spouses stand by their wives/husbands when one of them can't have kids? How many Nigerian couples accept not to have kids or opt for adoption? 6 Likes |

Poorboy41: Emotions are unreliable and can change anytime. We fall in and out of love all the time. Truth be told, we are mortal and will die. Women after 40 enter menopause and conceiving is almost impossible, if not impossible. So we get married to create continuity even after we are dead, a part of us still lives in the place of our offspring. 1 Like |
