GDP growth not GDP per capita* And yes, the economic growth of a country is linked to whether her citizens want to procreate. The lower the GDP growth, the lower wealth creation opportunities and jobs for one's offsprings. Those who desire to limit procreation have several options, one of which is vasectomy. You didn't see where I mentioned it as an option for men who want to play away matches? Do you want to have a child outside marriage when having fun? Do you that's another cost to bore? Regarding losing a child or an unforeseen circumstance, bad things happen. The best is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

A vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive method where a male’s vas deferens is cut and tied or sealed to prevent sperm from getting to the urethra, to stop the man from ejaculating and fertilizing the female’s egg. Whew, that’s a lot of grammar. In simpler English, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles is tied up or sealed in order to prevent the sperm from reaching the penis. This procedure is mostly permanent although it may be reversed in some cases.

Men are increasingly considering vasectomies as a contraceptive method. For the most part, they do it to take the burden off their female partners who have historically been expected to use birth control methods that give them nasty side effects and some times, permanent damage. Vasectomies are generally safe and not as painful as most people think it is. I talked to 5 Nigerian men about vasectomies. They had some pretty interesting answers.

I decided to get a vasectomy because we were done havings kids and no longer wanted to worry about falling pregnant. It’s less invasive for a guy to get a vasectomy than for a woman to undergo tubal ligation (tying up the fallopian tubes). It’s also way cheaper and requires much shorter recovery time. It’s not even comparable.

I had it done three years ago at my doctor’s office. It was a keyhole surgery (a minimally invasive surgery that’s carried out through a small incision in the skin) with local anaesthesia. I was chatting with the doctor the whole time while he had my balls in his hands. The procedure took all of 30 minutes. I had it done on a Friday and only took Monday off work (because its a desk job). I was cleared to return to the gym after a week.

I don’t regret it at all because it was an informed decision. Also, my wife put her body through the trials of pregnancy and childbirth. Getting a vasectomy done is such a small hit to take for the team. It’s even a bonus because you can have sexy time without condoms or fear of getting pregnant.

When people hear that I underwent the procedure, they’re generally chill about it. Except Nigerian men. They act like they’ve seen a ghost or I called their mother a witch. I can see them fighting the urge to grab their balls to ensure it’s still there. There’s no regret for me. I have two kids. I don lock shop. My team has retired my jersey. Full MVP status.

I’ve setup a vasectomy appointment for November. I don’t have any children and I’m perfectly fine with the prospect of never having one. My girlfriend is completely fine with it although I dare not tell my mother.

Ejiro, 47
I got a vasectomy six years ago. The birth of my third child was a shock to my wife and me, so we immediately decided that I would undergo a vasectomy. It wasn’t a big deal; I’m a doctor and I knew exactly what to expect. I was told it would be potentially painful but it really wasn’t. I was prescribed painkillers and I stopped taking them about ten days after the procedure.

I had it done here in the UK so it was pretty straightforward and, more importantly, free. Asides my wife, not even my close friends and family know that I underwent the procedure. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be surprised I had it done.

Now that I’ve had it done, I’ve got complete sexual freedom. I’m not bothered about whether my wife remembers to take her pills. I’m happy knowing that I’ve completed my family size. It is something I should have taken responsibility for and done a long time ago.

Sam, 32
I’m yet to get a vasectomy but my wife and I are in agreement on this, and I’ve spoken with a urologist. I’ve decided to get this done in November (that’s when our baby will be born) because my wife and I got married knowing that we’re both AS. You might think it’s a big risk but we both knew what we were getting into. Before we got married, we both wanted a child.

When she got pregnant, we took a test to confirm the genotype of the baby, and if she turned out to be SS, we would have aborted immediately. Luckily, she’s AS.

I’m a health worker, so I have experienced firsthand what women go through with birth control and family planning. I’ve seen how it messes them up in different ways like weight gain and constant bleeding. I’ve decided to take that pain off my wife and get a vasectomy done.

Ayo, 34
I’ve decided to get one. I’m married and I have 2 boys that mean the world to me. People ask if I don’t want to try again for a girl and I wonder if they will help me cater for that extra mouth in this Nigerian economy.

mansakhalifa:
This is what Nigeria needs badly- vasectomy and tubal ligation. And on an industrial scale too.
The way people procreate like rabbits these days is becoming way too disgusting for my patience. Every day, I get calls from home telling me that someone has just "put to bed" and that everyone is "celebrating". The reason for the celebration over the addition of just one more human being, I still don't understand.

My two cents: industrial and affordable vasectomy and tubal ligation for all in Nigeria. That's the final solution to the population surge. We need fewer people and more space. Nuff said.

Much as I hate to weigh in on subjects like these. I mean, for a guy who plans on having no kids, what is my business with this?

And whatever your religion thinks or has to say about this is totally immaterial in the scope of things. Hang it. I need to see fewer people in this world.

Hathor5:


It's your job to make an informed decision and your doctor's to inform you about possible risks and side-effects.

Your comment shows no sign of good education.

mariahAngel:


Exactly!

NeoWanZaeed:



if you still think population reduction is the solution to poverty...

in 21st century fa..

oga.. you no sabi anything at all

MrTAnonymous:
Oh boy! This men are strong oo.
I can't do that. What if the case arise in the future and I need to have more kids? What if my wife divorces me and I remarry and I need a kid with my woman? What if my kids die and I have no option than to procreate? What will I do? So I can't do it, thank you, Next!!!

Incase you don't know na me talk

Raalsalghul:


Population reduction is and will always be one of the solutions to poverty especially in a shithole like Nigeria.

You better know that and change this your almajiri mentality.

crackhaus:

Mehhh...
Has your hubby done it?

mariahAngel:


As a Christian, do you agree with the procedure?

Please, don't give me your favourite "where is it written in the bible?" line... God cannot be mocked or fooled.

mariahAngel:


The truth is that in life, we all can't share the same views, we can only try respect them, even though they might seem absurd to us.

NeoWanZaeed:


your limit of Education and psychological relevance has been portrayed with this your disgusting comment.


is the topic persuasive or informative or educative?

I doubt you would even understand that

HRMK:
IS THAT DFFT FROM CASTRATION?WHAT IS A MAN LIVING FOR IF HE CULDNT IMPREGNATE A LADY!IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME IE PERSONALLY!

britiko:


True, we can't all share same views but you evaded my questions.

armyofone:
He is from another planet and can even self clip
As for you my friend, i can help you. First is to take away your fear, make sure there are enough cognac / Dom Perignon, suya etc, scissor and some wipes.
Got to alleviate that fear and tight hold you have on the balls

Hathor5:


Says the one who doesn't capitalize words at the beginning of a sentence.

NeoWanZaeed:


as if it's official discussion we having here..

misplaced priority..

crackhaus:

Has he done it? This is what I asked...not if he's from Saturn.

As for me, all the way to hell with this vasectomy nonsense mehn. The cognac/dom pérignon and suya, I can definitely have, good vibes... But the moment I see anything shiny with blades like a scissors getting too close to my nutsack, I'm busting heads. No time.

The thread even made me discuss the subject with someone today, thank goodness we are on the same page – well, she had no choice but to just stay on the same page because I AIN'T EVER GONNA, read that twice.

armyofone:
Kids first then clip next. Will you do it ? Don't worry as I can use non silver clips gold your clipping material preference, i see - you got it.

crackhaus:

NEVER!!!

armyofone:
Let's work on this ya fear

mariahAngel:


As a Christian, do you agree with the procedure?

Please, don't give me your favourite "where is it written in the bible?" line... God cannot be mocked or fooled.

Hathor5:


It's not a priority. It's standard.

By the way, random people on the internet do not owe you scientific explanations of risks associated with a surgery. They are just sharing their personal stories, not more, not less. And without the nonsense science you wouldn't be here typing nonsense.

NeoWanZaeed:



you are so lost..

comparing rationale psychology health issue discussion validation with starting a sentence with capital letter..


I rest my case on your case

Hathor5:


You made zero sense. ZERO as in Z-E-R-O.

NeoWanZaeed:


of course.. you are lost.. I don't expect you to understand what am saying nitwit

NeoWanZaeed:
it's very sad that despite the fact that we youths are very educated.. we still subscribe to these science nonsense..


it's very clear that this nonsensetomy would sure have side effects with which the idiots won't discuss with you people..

besides, na your hard work dey feed your family or by the Lord's grace?
