Considering Nigeria's Economy, How Many Children Are Ideal For A Family? by OCTAVO: 11:11pm On Nov 23, 2012
How many children would you want to give birth to in a country like NIGERIA considering the economic realities?

I think 3 is an ideal figure.

What say you?

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!!!

An adage in Yoruba says “OMO BERE OSHI BERE“
Meaning plenty children, plenty poverty...

It is not all about the money at hand. It is more about the psychologeability of running a family and coming out with the expected result. The lesser the number of kids the better the result. It is easier to control 2 kids than 20 'pikins'. I believe in just 2.

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!

@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.
