@ukwubuego
You are not alone in that line of thought! . . only recently was I discussing same issue with a friend of mine and she highlighted some reasons from her own views! I also asked same question from someone closed to me this morning and almost same reasons were given. I am not disputing the fact that there could be some medical factors responsible for it. . . .but come to think of it. . . .these medical factors had been for ages and ages. . . yet most of our parents who are in their late 40s, 50s now, were not affected!. . . . . for barrenness was a taboo then and was least expected of any new couple.[/b]But the reasons may not be far-fetched:

The Prevalence of iniquity -[b]SIN is one of the factors. . We no longer highly esteem God, We fear Him less, We live a life of pretence, We do things contrary to His Will, come to think of it. . . . . virginity is a scare commodity and an old-school theorem. . . . . .Insincerity. . . .Dishonesty. . . . High Rate of Murder (Abortion). . .which inversely affects the womb and destroy the unborn foetus. . . . etc. It's a pathetic situation and not a thing of joy especially to those who had wanted to have children. . . We pray God to have mercy and answer every requests. . . Amen. This causative factor cannot be ruled out. . . .

Other causes include: Medications, Thyroid problems, Cancer and its treatment, Caffeine Intake, Alchohol and drugs, Emotional Stree, Malnutrition, Age,

You rarely ever find a[b] "barren virgin"!!!!  [/b]

You can never compare the times of our parents to the present times.  ALL our parents got married early and had children without thinking of terminating them out of "inconvenience"! The average Nigerian girl has had at least 3 abortions by age 21!  Go figure! Then what do we expect? Did I not attend University in Nigeria? I know how many young girls never returned from the butcher tables of pre med students to get rid of unwanted pregnacies or those that ended up in hospital for one complication or the other. You can imagine what is happening now that "things have gone" high-tech.  After interfering with the natural process of things? Not to talk of all the sleeping around with all the diseases out there--all in the name of "dating"!!!!!

Our parents ate healthy and mostly naturally grown foods, and even before the advent of Christianity in Africa--people were having babies left right and center--with all the Ogun and Sango worshipping.  Now all we have available to us is Mcdonalds/"Mr Biggs" and some fake Chickens and Beef from China.  It is going to get worse ladies.  HAVE YOUR KIDS EARLY AND STOP HORSING AROUND!!!!  You have enough time for that--but your reproductive years may never be recaptured once gambled away.

It is going to get worse. People will start experiencing infertility in their teens and early 20's! Both for males and females!

Have you considered the success rate compared to the millions who have failed? Please you may see a lot of women in their 40s having twins around you. What you never see are those countless women in their 30s and 40s who have failed even after trying like 8 cycles of IVF! It is not that easy. Please take a trip to the nearest fertility clinic near you and ask questions or google the statistics.

Lol. Militia, I thought you were smart o. Dont tell me you didnt know it was me since last week. I fear for you.

No more fighting is right. Shit got boring so fast. "Waging wars" around Nairaland, who has time for such juvenile rubbish anymore. New Year is approaching, better things await jare.

eh I'm only jealous because they are having twins jo. Lmao.

Did you see the dare I made for Frankie Btw?

D-reloaded:

Rofl. me Frankie? We squashed our beef before I went on Nairaland hiatus. No need for me to chase you around Nairaland yarning dust anymore besides you self you have calmed down. Now you wont get coal for Christmas

triplets ke? Only two o! I agree though on having kids early. NOT TOO early like our akatas here. Like i said all these old people in their mid 40s having children now, it's kind of creepy and when they go for their kid's high school gradutaion(let's not talk about college graduation), they'll be there drooling in a cup with tubes attached to their hummerhover chairs. I assume they don't think about these things

Siena:

@ TOH: Welcome back! I see you've ruffled a few feathers in your homecoming.

@ Militia: Yes, been very "busy", as you know, but things are "working out" better than I thought!

@ Islander: As you can see, I've broken my "ties", and am very much here. Stay safe!

almondjoy:

Hello Siena! Welcome back. You are so scarce babeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Well, we understand! Nothing going on in Nairaland anyway! You are not missing much!

Oh? Things are working out much better? Should I be glad or sad? I will hear all about it code name SFU--I don't think I am going to like it though!

But what can I say! See you at Breakfast in the am! Love you plenty!
