My theory - Intimacy with spouse is where there is equality . The poor enjoy it as much as the rich. Its probably the most enjoyable moment in a poor persons life since he cant go and play golf. Family planning requires some enlightment and some money and when both are lacking that's poverty - its a vicious circle.

The fact is that S** is the only thing that makes a poor man happy, that's the only time they feel priviledge
The only consolation for the miserable condition
Saw 1 in a commercial bus some weeks back.An unkempt woman with2 kids,pregnant and another 1 backed.the backed baby was crying,u need to see the tongue like that of a lizard
Poverty has really toiled on the poor boy(so early in life)
Its sickening,they need to be enligthened

As is the case with so many of the world's impoverished, there are a number of causal factors:
(1) Lack of Awareness i.e insufficient economic intelligence
(2) Cultural tradition (polygamy; the desire for a boy-child)
(3) Religion ("children are a gift"; "go forth and multiply; polygamy (again))
(4) Lack of employment opportunities
(5) Too much time of the hands: Nigeria offers so few outlets for her citizens (both rich and poor) channel a lot of their emotions into sex and all its entails

Yet another crazed rant probably from a Mental health institution escapee! On what basis do you make a callous assertion like the above highlighted? Is it on the basis of an isolated incident you had with "a pregnant with a couple of kids in a bus"?! How the hell does a pregnant woman with a couple of kids in a bus correlate with "poor Nigerians give birth to a lot of children"?! How did you make a conclusion that the said pregnant woman is poor?! What statistical survey did you do to come to the myopic conclusion that poor Nigerians give birth to a lot of children?!

Abeg go siddon jor!



u know am a Mental health institution escapee! because ur daddy was my Room Mate, that was where he met ur Mum and gave birth to an I.mbecile like u. must u behave like an Area boy any time u want to make a point?

God is great and we should be thankful for whatever he gives if he denied them money and gave them children is it bad! they reason s one they have a lot of time to enjoy each other, they lack TVs like the rich so to the wife the husband is is the TV and the reverse is true to the husband.

poor people do have many children because they love poverty. they know that many children will keep them in poverty,yet they go ahead having them.

because if any one child dies at young age due to diseas or lack of food, they have others who can take place. my mother had seven siblings.
