Is it because she is dead you think you can misquote her? Fear God

Nothing can secure a marriage where wither or both parties don't give a damn about the institution. It is basically stupid to blame women for everything. Nice try!

Of course they do.It however depends on the type of birth control method and individual body reactions.
Common side effects include weight gain,mood swings,loss of libido and of course loss of menstruation.

nkemdi89:

So which is the best for long term and short term prevention? Does EC has a high effective rate?.

funmisticqueen:
The fact that we still see igbos giving birth to more than 4 children is usually due to the fact that most igbos are catholic, also an igbo grandma told me that they secretely want to repopulate after they lost millions in the civil war.

In addition to this, once a woman starts running away from sex, then the man begins to threaten "i will go after other women o", some women do not care and from here,the man gets another woman pregnant and the population keeps increasing
I think government or bodies in charge of the family planning programme should make vasectomy compulsory for men if they actually want to control population ,a woman shouldn't be the only one to face the consequence of doing family planning.

NOT everyone thinks birth control is a blessing. Boko Haram, a jihadist group that terrorises north-eastern Nigeria, deems artificial contraception to be a product of infidel learning, and therefore forbidden. Its ideologues also believe that females should avoid school, marry early (sometimes while still children) and have lots of babies. In the dwindling areas the jihadists control, women have no choice.

Even outside those areas, contraception is controversial. Boko Haram’s ideology didn’t spring from nowhere. Many Nigerian Muslims believe that pills and condoms are part of a Western plot to stop Muslims from multiplying. And in poor, rural areas centuries of experience have taught people that having lots of children makes economic sense. They can be put to work in the fields, they will provide for their parents in old age and, given high rates of infant mortality, if you don’t have several you may end up with none.

So the government in Kaduna, a majority-Muslim state north of the capital, Abuja, does not encourage people to have fewer children. That would be politically toxic. But it does offer free contraception, and suggest that women might wish to pause between pregnancies. It also promotes girls’ education—something that has caused fertility rates to fall more or less everywhere it has been tried. As recently as 2008, women in Kaduna expected to have 6.3 babies each over a lifetime. By 2013 this had fallen to 4.1, well below the national average of 5.7 that year.

When Alheri Yusuf first heard about family planning from a relative, she hesitated. “I thought she didn’t want me to give my husband more children,” says the 33-year-old mother of four, as she waits for a contraceptive hormonal injection at a hospital in Kaduna. Then she realised that spacing her children would give her time to recover from childbirth.

From village to village, from city to city, we are spreading the message to Africans to make more babies.
We are warning them to fear Ngos and our own governments financed by Europeans to erase Africans from Earth.
We are informing them about how Afghans and Pakistanis fought those NGOS.
TALK to your family and friends about black people extermination plans carried by Europeans and their institutions.
If you are Europeans and have friends and families who go to Africa to take part in those racial war, discourage them.
The truth is Africa doesn't need Europe. There are more Europeans living in Africa and off Africa, than Africans living in Europe.
The immigrants crisis in the Mediterranean Sea is a Public relations crisis organized to justify in the eyes of European populations the eugenics, racial policies to be soon carried on.
I know, the message is spreading in our families already but we need to be more active, proactive.
Use any opportunity to inform your friends and families.
Beyond all encourage them to make more babies.
If they have planned only two, empower them to make 4 or 5.
If they have planned four, empower them to make 7.
Population growth is the solution, not the problem. Just ignore your own government propaganda. Be wary of Western financed NGOS.

Within Yusuf Ali, a cleric who joined a debate convened by the emir, married his first wife when she was 14 and he was 26. But Mr Ali, who has four wives and 38 children, now thinks girls should marry “above the age of 15”.

He also favours family planning, so long as couples use withdrawal rather than modern contraception. He even agrees that girls should go to school.

happney65:


Already told bae i want just 2 kids..she dey para say she wants more than that..If am able to get two..I would go do vasectomy cos i no if i dont,she would purposely get pregnant..When am done,I would then inform her..She kuku knows what i can do..

Most Nigerian men do not actually want many kids,na the women dey always want more kids when in essence it is waste of time and resources

I'm going to come at this from a different angle and I know many people will start sweating when they read my post but I don't really care because it's true.

The major culprit in population explosion especially in third world countries is patriarchy.
The idea that a man's name has to be perpetuated makes couples have children even if deep down, they really do not want children. In fact everyone is raised to never consider the option of staying childless.

Is anyone on this thread going to claim they've never heard 'who will continue the father's name?' Like the man when he dies will be aware of anyone bearing his name or not.

The women are railroaded into this ego trip by being made to feel worthless when they aren't married or when married and their bodies can't be put to use to perpetuate the man's name.

Don't even get me started on people looking for male children while having their 7th girl and impregnating other women outside in their bid for the male gender.

Argue all we want, this contributes 50% (in my opinion) to the population explosion. At least from my experience growing up.

The birth of male
children is still the source of pride and honour in
Nigeria, while that of female children is seen as
failure.
This perhaps explains the reason for the large
number of children born by most families in a quest
to have male children.
Contrary to the desires of most families, National
Population and Census Board data shows that more
female children are being born than male children
each year in Nigeria. Of Nigeria’s population of about
120 million, 53 percent are female and 47 percent
are male, according to the Nigerian Population and
Censors Board.
This desire for a male child has resulted in husbands
pressuring their wives to have more children, in
some cases putting the health of the women in
danger.
When this fails to produce the desired results, men
will resort to polygamy in the hope that the other
women will give them the son they need.
An average Nigerian does anything to have a male
child, who will carry on the family name in this
patriachal society. Some female children also retain
their family name, even in marriage, to preserve their
father’s name.
Faced with such social perceptions towards male and
female questions, more people in Nigeria are trying
to find answers to the question whether male
children benefit the family more than the girl child.
This search for answers have extended to seeking
understanding and meaning from religion too.
“In Islam, a very high value and respect is placed on
a girl child. Prophet Mohammed made men to
understand that when a man brings up two
daughters very well, and they are married off as
virgins, God will reward him with paradise.

cococandy:
What answers are they looking for?

The answer is right there in plain view. It's a result of internalized misogyny that's all.

Dora Akuyili former NADAC MD once said year's back if you want your marriage to be completely secured

•Have a male child for him
•Cage him with your passionate sex drive
These where her words year's back.

According to her she say ''when a lady is put to bed(hospital)and maybe she was expecting a male child even if she's not disturbed by her husband quest,deep inside her when it fanally becomes a female as against her disires,sometimes she will feel some sence of sadness" And it will be known only to her...



Your husband might not persuade you over a male child but deep inside most ladies because it's the way of Nigerian's and it culture,believ and honors attached to it she will be eager to get one..

InyinyaAgbaOku:

What lesson to her saying all these?

Pataricatering:
Majority of the problems we have are a result of patriarchy ! Its a problem when the ego of men is unchecked and allowed to run riot - crime , wars , disenfranchisement of women , immorality with no fear of consequence etc etc

InyinyaAgbaOku:

A female can't pass the name to her children

peterphd:


So a matriarchal system is the cure to the Ills of overpopulation huh? A system that rapes men in child support and custody hearings, divorces courts and the likes? Where women cannot sin and men are always assumed rapists and as the scum of the earth? Abeg drexx go left with that nonsense.... The patriarchy is responsible for every benefit you enjoy and even your existence is due to patriarchs who defended your pregnant ancestors. Please come up with solutions to overpopulation without displaying p*enis envy and then tell us a really successful matriarchal society. Don't worry, we'll wait.
