Poor people shouldn't even have kids, bringing innocent souls into the world to suffer them.

People should be giving birth to kids they are capable of taking care of.
And by 'taking care', I do not only mean being financially capable, but also being able to be emotionally there for them.


And condoms should be free

yvelchstores:
This topic is very important. In all honesty, people should think more in this country. Truth is people don't think, they don't plan either, they just fall pregnant repeatedly and some regret but if you had no preventive measure on ground, what did you expect? If not for anything, for the sake of the quality of life those children will have to live with. Nigerians, be Pro thoughtful, think ahead and don't just fall into mistakes. Anyone who has too many children, I can't pity you. You made your bed, lie down well on it.

fieryy:


Although, I do understand where you're coming from this is rather harsh. They have the right to have kids as anybody else also.

dominique:
The high birth rate amongst the lower income earners is not as annoying as them urging others to have more kids. You that should be advising others on why they shouldn't be breeding like rats, instead you will be encouraging to overpopulate the already overpopulated country. Misery really do love company. Sometimes I wonder what people want to do with so many kids, do they get some thrills watching them grow up and turn into nuisances in the society? Middle/upper class people shouldn't have more than 3 kids while lower class should stop at 2. How I wish the government can put this into law.

Put differently, shouldnt the poor be entitled to
bleeps?

James39:
See the minimum and maximum should be 4.

I can't give birth to 1 boy and 1 gal.

That's my take. I don't care what others think.

if your parent were so careful not to go beyond 2 kids you won't be here typing this. I'm sure you are not the 1st neither the 2nd.

we are 10 in numbers and we are doing fine.

I know this my thread might get some people angry but it’s a subject that surprises me whenever I think of it. How do normal Nigerians who are educated have more than 2 children in a country like Nigeria with all the poverty & hopelessness? I am still single but I have it in mind to lay a ground rule that whichever woman I marry must agree to family planing methods after the birth of the 1st child whether male or female. And if the 1st baby is male, we can as well wait for another 5 years before having a baby of either sex as the last.

But I wonder when I see Nigerians that are not so wealthy giving birth to 4 - 5 kids in the midst of grinding economic depression and in a nation that has clearly failed. Don’t these Nigerians know that the country can descend into war anytime due to the instability that is so palpable? I get afraid when I see couples who have 4 children in this day & age so I always wonder how they are coping with the stress & the bills. I also wonder why they are not afraid of Nigeria.

armyofone:
Misery loves company. I guess it makes them comfortable seeing you suffering too. It is so sad and makes no sense ...i mean how can a very hungry looking man still fu..ck! Only professional working men and women with regular income should have kids. A jobless woman should not. A jobless man should not have kids.
I wish too that the Nigerian government would set rules too just as China did.

dominique:


@bolded. Sadly they're the ones that procreate the most. The upper class people can afford to go on date nights, vacations or spend their leisure time doing a variety of fun things. The poor ones on the other hand can't afford that kind of luxury, the only thing they can do during their leisure time is to screw themselves behind closed doors thereby getting pregnant over and over again. It upsets me so much seeing people who can hardly cater for the kids they already have getting pregnant again. It's so unfair bringing kids into that kind of uncertainty, very few of them scale through. The people in government should be looking into population control but they won't since the large population especially amongst the poor masses favours them

uninspired07:


Your parents’ Nigeria is different from our Nigeria.

zed7:

Screwing for leisure is no crime. A lot of rich people do so also. What we should be wondering is why they don't do family planning.
Family planning is cheap and even free in some clinics. It still baffles me how people don't understand that they don't have to have kids just because they are having sex.

Some people end up having more children than they planned for. So many children are conceived by mistake. If you have not had a child by mistake, don't just think you have stopped having kids. Family planning fails a lot in Nigeria, I don't know why.
For me, I've had my 3, and I'm praying seriously not to have more. Nigeria is one of the most difficult places in the world to be a parent
