According to religious perspective,islamic in specific,you can have as many as possible. Because,there is believe that it is God who provides for everybody. According to Quran chapter 17 verse 31: And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We shall provide for them as well as for you. Surely,the killing of them is a great sin

dasparrow: @Post

In my humble opinion, 2 children are sufficient. Anything more than 2 is pushing it. You don't want to multiply like a rat and later the kids will grow up and become 419 internet scammers, street urchins, ritualists, ashawos in far away Italy or run after married Nigerian big men for recharge cards and upkeep money.

Nwa Teacher: Having a large family is good. God will always provide. 12 children is what i want 2 have

God will surely provide.

Those 1doits on the street came from somewhere, this what their parents said then.

God will not come down from heaven because of u, heaven helps those who help themselves.

Also tell us that an angel told u that u will give birth to 12, the higher the number of kids u have, the higher your troubles.


I wish FG will add this into law to decrease the number of nuisances on the streets.

I mean no harm.

Sirmuell: Maximum of 2 for me with about 3-4years spacing in between them and I don't care if they come as only boyz or only girlz but I will be most grateful if it were a boy and a girl. I have so much to achieve in Life and I don't want family distractions to come in between me, my family and Purpose in life!

I m saying that through my knowledge of islamic education. Which will greatly affect the thinking of every educationist with deep islamic background Nigeria economy is not special. Economy is economy. Having so many children does not augur well for economy. If dependency ratio is high in any economy. The effect is poverty. But Holy book says contrary.

Well,with the recent economic breakdown and no improvment,i think 3 kids with proper spacing amongst them is the best.raising children is not all about having money.their some things ur money money cant buy like time.u need time to study ur kids,time to love them,time to always caution and correct them,time to pray for them,time to play your role as a parent with these few facts u'll know thatt when u have many of them u'll be fustrated ,hypertensive or asking urself why u had them in the first place.so,if really i mean really want to give ur best ur children,3 is the best.i just three kids,1 is7yrs,2 is 4yrs and3 is 7months.

Whobedatte: If U really want a future for your siblings, 2 is enough. Breeding children like pigs is of a poverty/ignorant mentality. I checked thru d list of the richest men in africa #forbes, and the person w highest no of children on the list is 3. Just someone had 4. Obama has 2, clinton has 1. #he that has ears let him hear what the spirit is saying!!!
sibling ke D word s offspring. I'm guessing u were upto 20 children in ur family so western education wasnt rily a priority.#jessaying

If you are considering giving your child the best education in the world
IMO the definition of the best education is subjective.

IMO the definition of the best education is subjective. Quality education, yes but where do we go from there. From our generation's experiences, we should not raise our kids to be job seekers.
Going to school like MIT and Harvard makes you a job seeker.
