Two. So that the quality of life is above average. Was mad at my wife when she got preg for the third. It took me a while to accept the child after birth.......and he got his revenge too. Was in and out of hospital those first few months and really drained me financially.

Gloria3389:

I couldn't stand the one I witnessed.... I was like God am I gonna pass thru this??.....I wonder y some pple will decide to have 6 children or get pregnant every year

ohhh yes u re gonna pass tru it ooo except na Rev. Sista tins on ur mind :/

Gloria3389:

irrespective of their gender I guess

they are ol sayin dis witout puttin gender into consideratio.

MarthaK:
no... Every married couple dream of having male and female kids...
If only one could choose her children's gender before they're born.
Most couple end up having 6 kids because they're looking for a particular gender be it male or female.
Nigerians!

exactly....

Kookny:
I'll like to have three kids: two males and one female

wat if 3 of em are ol female.

Gloria3389:
Considering the economy of this country including the population, how many children is advisable for an average couple to have...?
for me ,3kids is just too OK

let's hear from u guys

two girls and a boy is enough for me

Three is just okay for me. Two girls and a boy

Jobless and unproductive people shouldn't be allowed to make babies ,they end up causing more problems for the society while productive peeps should have a maximum of two and high net worth peeps should go with a maximum of four.

It is a fact that jobless,uneducated and unproductive people makes more babies that they can't provide for physically,emotionally and otherwise......Though the ruling class makes babies like rats after all they can steal more than enough to afford for them while the unfortunate masses go hungry.
Certain tribes and ethnic groups in some particular region shouldn't be allowded to marry than one woman all in the name of religion.

4....

2 or 3 it depend .

I wud prefer four......cuz 9ja economy is getting worst[color=#990000][/color]

2.1 ist perfect

dozens cuz.....

Gloria3389:

....Sorry are u an Ibo ?

my exact thought

Min:A boy n a girl. Average:Two boys n a girl. Max:Two boys n two girls.

It is not a matter of the economy of the individual but the economy of the society that determines how many eggs we should lay so we should not become selfish about things because no matter how rich a man is I believe no man is a net positive contributor to society and the environment. Everybody degrades it and the more the people the more the problems. A rich man with several wives and children may slow the decay but he cannot pay for everything.

In Nigeria with a poor economy the situation is even worse. In my opinion the average couple should have no more than two kids. The rich 5%, 3 kids, the poor 60 or so % just 1 child till our economy significantly improves.

Min:A boy n a girl, Average:Two boys n a girl, Max:Two boys n two girls.

Min:A boy n a girl, Average:Two boys n a girl, Max:Two boys n two girls. Min:A boy n a girl, Average:Two boys n a girl, Max:Two boys n two girls.

It is not pragmatic to talk about number of children and their gender at the same time. After having 4 girls, a family friend decided to have a final attempt for male child. Throughout the pregnancy the wife was alway on admission. In the end they had triplet - all girls!
