Tos87:most want child labourers ie for pure water and bread hawking. if i ever pass a law it is to get those good for nothing parents endangering kids lives castrated. trade innocense for trading between heavy traffic is wicked. |

JJYOU: I dont think anyone would bring a child into this world purely for the purpose of working for them. It would be more to do with the level of illiteracy. Sometimes, it is also caused by idleness. If you have nothing to do, why not just keep banging yourselves? plus they are too uneducated to be bothered to use contraception. 1 Like |

JustGood:my brother you know we agree on most things i dont believe the high numbers of kids i see hawking were just created by idleness and illeteracy. the old men used to create farmer this newer generation do it. what makes me sad is hearing able bodied people tell you how industrious their kids are and do nothing other than source what most of the kids hawk. i could build enough jail to waste their lives as most of them are wasting these kids lives. it is one crime i wish i can stop today. too many clever kids being destroyed. 1 Like |

JJYOU: I think the key to your conclusion is the high numbers. However, if you consider that Nigeria has a high population and this population is mainly illiterate, you may change your mind as to the purpose of procreation. It happens in other populous nations with high illiteracy levels. If you go to India, you'll see it's the same. |

They wives cannot afford or no nothing abt contraceptives. They want more kids to help make more money. . . .hawking,farming,begging.etc After a tiring day,the couple have no other means to relax except to keep making love bad for the ecnonmy,bad for the kids from such union,bad for the nation. |

When a man is poor and have nothing else to do, he have sex to make himself happy and the result are small babies. JJYOU: That is a good one. |
Re: Why Do Poor People Have So Many Kids by beingme(f): 3:35pm On Jun 04, 2009 |
Their mentality makes them think that the more children they make the more money will come by the time they are grew, not looking into the childs future and quality education to start with |

Because they fail to use protection during sex or the woman fails to use birth control pills (family planning). |

Is it only poor people? Nigerians in general have too many kids, period. I agree it's worse amongst the poorer people in the soceity or theirs is more problematic. They marry many wives they can't support,bear kids they can't take care of. How else did we end up with almajiris,area and alaye boys and agboros all over the place. Lack of exposure plus lack of recreation. The average Nigerian never vacations ,most can't afford anything for entertainment Even those who can afford recreation are usually stuck at home for fear of armed robbers and kidnappers What else is there to do but sex and procreation. It doesn't cost a dime too at least while doing it. Even here in the USA it's usually the women on welfare and government assistance that have the most kids and the rest of soceity have to support their stupidity. Religion is a major part of the life of most Nigerians and the Churches (and mosques) must start preaching that people not bring kids into the world that they can't take care of. The Bible actually says that a man that can't take care of his family is like an infidel that has denied the faith. |

i honestly use to think the same thing. why have more children than you can adequately provide for? it's until now that i have come to actually try to maybe understand the reasoning behind their decision of having "large families" i have come to realize that high growth rate in poor undeveloped countries is not the result of "ignorance" as we often use to think. To poor families, large families are wanted, since children are seen as an economic asset and not a liability. in most parts of the world children serve as a major economic support in their parent's old age because rural villagers lack the necessary pension plans that would support them in the old age. As it is in Nigeria. Nigeria government don't that have any pensions for the elderly as it is with the for example American Social Security benefits or other similar benefits developed countries provide their retired and elderly citizens. So to these parents their children is their hope in their old age. Also many parents have more children because of the high rates of infant mortality in developing countries. Nigeria being a good example of this. so this makes the parents want to have extra children in case of a possible death of one their offspring. the low cost of raising children in still developing is relatively lower than in industrialized nations due to the fact that many necessities are produced by the family instead of purchasing it. and the help of extended families in raising children in this countries make it a lot easier on the individuals parents.and lastly we have to realize that some of these people are still "prisoners of their core traditional values" and they are slower to change and slower keeping up with the changing events in the world today. so i think it is their economic and other states in life that pushed into making those decisions. and i guess they make reproductive decisions just as we do. |

i am currently middle middle class i have a generator, a television, a computer, a car, lots of novels, a sound system - if i wanted i could buy a games console translation - i have several avenues to explore as entertainment now imagine no generator, no books, no car no music - the only avenue a couple will have for recreation is each other i think that about sums it up edit - just noticed that osisi beat me to it |
