[color=#770077][/color]i dont seem to understand why poor people give birth to more than they can take care of

Coz that's their only form of entertainment, lol

dere is dis parable in my place dats says-------- ama fe efeigho, a fe efeomo(BINI) meaning if u are not rich in cash, u can be rich in children.

Because children is given free hence every one can afford them.

You are right

poverty correlates to lack of education, lack of education usually means lack of access to family planning information , and the ability to tie financial planning to family planning .

Its a Vicious cycle

Poor people give birth to several children, they have no money to educate the children who equally grow up to be poor adults who give birth to several future poor adults

....

cos they believe what one person fit chop,3 or more people fit chopam.

lahips:

other than lack of awareness as to family planning, i think the poor lack options for recreation, so the easiest recreational activity or means of relaxation for them is to indulge in s e x and that means more babies for some.

GBAM!

Or investment

hmmm, this is interesting. I used to wonder too, but come to think of it. Extremely wealthly Nigerian men have more children than you can ever imagine, example is MKO, OKOYA and co.
