You don't expect a country that is among the highest birth rate to have the lowest maternal mortality. Just yesterday we read about a woman who gave birth to quadruplets after 5 children. That is purely exposing oneself to death. |

agwom: Is there anything about Nigeria that is not a shame? Shameful Health care system. No more treated public water supply system. Descendants of Othman Danfodio have driven Nigeria to an edge after using their loyal soldiers to restructure Nigeria politically and got a political structure through which they control Nigeria irrespective of where a president comes from. The only succeeding business in Nigeria is influx of Fulani from West Africa into Nigeria and southwards. |

alizma:The religious mentality of children are gifts from God. Needs to change also, that saying is just rhetoric. people should be made to understand that it is their responsibility to care for adequately, financially, emotionally and otherwise for any child they give birth to. |

Women walk through the valley of the shadow of death to bear children. This should never be downplayed. |
Re: Why Nigeria’s Maternal Mortality Is Amongst Highest In The World by dasparrow: 2:54pm On Jan 09, 2021 |
Onyxunlimited: Very true. Child bearing is a risk. This is why women who choose not to bear children due to health risks should not be shamed but African society is constantly pressuring women to get knocked up. 2 Likes |
