Diligent1:
You need to stop reproduction, do family planning with your wife.
Put your children in public schools and you monitor their studies, check their books from time to time educate them of good behavior and the kind of friends they should have.


Your wife has to be working so that she can support you in the house and no relative should be allowed to live with you for now, they can go elsewhere.

When you want to buy food, buy in bulk when you get to market you will see other people contributing money together to buy in bag and share, this will also save you money and look for better job.

It shall be well with you and your family.

Amen. Best wishes to you and yours too. I like non judgemental comments

Foolish man. Suffering and poverty dealt with you and showed you shege, but you didn't learn. Your first-hand experience with sapa should have made you smart and empathetic to know that innocent kids should not be brought to suffer in life. You went ahead to bring five kids and thought that an illusion called god will somehow bail you out. You deserve 50 lashes.

When you were hoping on god, didn't it occur to you that god doesn't help anyone? Have you seen god help anyone anywhere? Smh. Only foolish people hope on god without taking taking realistic action.

For the sake of your innocent kids, I hope things turn out well for you. If you give birth again ehn, thunder will light up your coconut head. It is not by force to continue bloodline; if you can't comfortably take care of kids, no wrong in remaining single till death. You will be even doing yourself and the world a favour. Bloodline continuation that is filled with suffering is not worth it.

===========================================
jackmrandy:
I know for sure this can never be true. but if its true, but lets join you to lament. you are the cause we have miscrants in the society. children whose parents are no taking care of them and at that the end sort to robbery and thugery for survival causing nuisance in the society because their parents neglected them. Gone are the days that people will say na God dey give children, uncontrolled sexual appetite gives birth to children when not done properly (protection, family planning) . don't bring children you can not take care of into this world, especially here Nigeria.

Imagine, 5kids.

Your excuse; 'Children are gifts from God.'

You will continue to rant if you don't control your reproductive organ.
Oga. Truth other the matter, is that more kids will be given birth to because of the tough times.
See, the only consolation struggling people have now is to go home and nack. They cannot go chill in joints, drink beer and wack point and kill, they cannot carry olosho or have side chicks. The only enjoyment is to go home and pour the frustration out by nacking madam. grin

Ranting. Ranting. Ranting.

I have decided to rant out my predicaments on this forum today.

What is the way out of poverty for me?

One inlaw is even living with us, making it 8 in number, all in one room.

This thing don come big pass me.

I know most of you here would blame me for impregnating a woman to give birth to that number of children but then, life is life. It happens like that sometimes.

They say a poor man's prayer is "e go better" but instead of things to get better in Nigeria, everyday things get worse.

Truth is, except I drive myself out of this mess to a better life for me and my children, this poverty that is so stricken will likely be extended to my children, which I really don't want.

No two ways about it except ...

But like a car without tyres, can it move even if it has fuel? Definitely no.

For 4 days now, I sleep outside in an abandoned car because of financial war at home. I can't go back home and I even feel like never to go back there but should I abandon them like that and run away? To where?

When I went to the market the other day with 5k to buy food items for the house, I was crying and talking to myself on my way back because I came back with almost nothing.

Nigeria have succeed to plug life out of poor Nigerians. The poor cannot breathe again. Let's die and go.

Advice: never give birth when you are not financially strong. Unfortunately, I've learned my lesson the hard way.

Life happens.

How do I help this family better than I am trying?

Wishing you the best in all you do.


Life has gone further than blaming the Op for having a large family with meagre salary...It has happened, it has happened...No diggity!

If the country is working well, the citizens won't complain...75% of the problem is from our irresponsible leaders who tend to amass wealth for themselves and their generations.

The way out of this huge problem you're facing right now, is to continue that N40k job, as you can't leave it right now because it would amount to suicide mission.

Try and look for permanent security work (night shift)...They might pay you N30k or more...That means your income should increase to almost N80k.

Thereafter, give your wife like N50k to start selling fast moving products or cook food for sale or even sell akara within your area.

My brother, things will prove.

Motivate yourself that you can do it.

Cheers!

I don't know how some of you reason. The hardship you were facing wasn't enough, you choose to drag innocent kids into it. Now, you're running away from your responsibilities.

I will tell you the same thing that I always say to 'irresponsible parents'. If you can't train your kids, go and sell them. There will be willing buyers who will help you lessen the burden.
I stopped advising poor folks to stop breeding because they take great offence at it and think I am looking down on them. grin They interpret my sincere and innocuous advice as me saying they are not fit, worthy and human enough to procreate.

Unfortunately, others will suffer their bad decisions.

This has always been my problem with poor people who don't plan in life.
To be poor in life is bad enough, adding children recklessly is the highest stupidity of it and the poor badly planning people always have a way of transferring their problem to those who are planning thier own.
Always begging for help, their kids turn to junkies and thieves, prostitutes etc in the society thereby influencing the kids of those who are planning their own lives

You said you know "we'd come with why you had all these children in that situation" Well that is the number diagnosis.
First lesson life thought me is "the first step to solving a problem is admittance, that is taking responsibility for the cause"

Secondly, and my advice is. While you do your 40k job, try tp learn a skill like plumbing, POP casting, painting and screeding, and even car mechanics.

I don't know your educational background but I tell you not to look down on those jobs. They may not make you super rich but you'll never find yourself in situation where you cannot feed yourself or family with those skills in Nigeria and anywhere provided you are hardworking.

If you are hoping tbings will get better or that someday you'll get a better paying job, ask yourself what are the odds? How much does average salary earners make in Nigeria? Lets say you eventually get a job of 200k. Do you think that will take care of family of 8 comfortably? nah.

Best advice is.. Get a skill that'll fetch you money day to day or week to week.

I know how much I pay POP guys doing my house now aside from buying the materials myself and I can tell you that you can not earn that money working a 9 to 5 job in Nigeria

Leaders are irresponsible but so are people—where does it all end? Saying it has happened is like trying to kill a fire after allowing it to grow out of control.
Food for thought—What if this guy and 99 other guys with the same number of household members took the advice that you gave this guy—that would be 500 children and 300 adults trying to survive on 8 million naira. 800 people is more than enough to populate a village and 8 million naira isn’t enough to sustain everyone in the village so theoretically, that village will be poverty stricken. Those 500 children are expected to grow up and thrive in a poverty stricken place with irresponsible leaders where the resources are already stretched past the limit. If 100 of the wives take the advice you’ve given and start selling akara in a village of 800 people, who will they sell akara to and where will they get the money to buy enough for the akara sellers’ businesses to be successful?
