Love will fill their bellies? I’ll take that as sacarsm sha
Inability of the parent to cater for their kid is the reason why we have so many vices and wayward kids in the society cause the kids will look for ways to sort themselves out by engaging in various forms of vices..

If you’re not married, please do away with that your though cause this is reality and no love will fill the bellies of hungry kids.

U sure say northerners and d afonjas go listen to dis advice ?

It isn't sarcasm. It's not just a fact, it's the truth. Raising a family goes just beyond all these expectations u have. Whether u like it or not, many kids will be raised in poor homes where they don't have everything. What do you think keeps those families going?

Children being wayward isn't just a function of finances. It is a function of good values. A parent being poor does not necessarily mean he or she can't impart good values in their child.

So guy put away all these your idealistic theories. Life is more dynamic than that especially for parents/families

Very good OP. Did you write it yourself?

Shegzdave:

Let every body raise their family in best way possible but raising a more than two kids in a poverty stricken home doesn’t speak well for the family especially the kids..

Why give birth to innocent kids in your poor state?

To some, na God give Dem pikin on top 6 kids and living in a room apartment with no food no money , I remember telling a friend's wife that has 4 kid and pregnant for 5th living in a room with no money, the wife change am for me ending with na God dey give pikin,
Some of them will just be counting their eggs before it hatches, believing that one among them will be rich in future,
What makes u think if u only have one , he won't be rich?

lexy2014:


The highlighted is your opinion which isn't a fact.

Maybe I should ask you what do you mean by "doesn’t speak well for the family especially the kids"?

CaptainFM1:



Omo this thing dey baffle me ooo. I still dey wonder how single mothers no dey use their brains. One for my street too do get another belle despite having 2 kids already with different people from her "run" businesses.

The worst is, she doesn't even know the father of these kids because na cash and carry quickie at Allen she take do am. Man don pay, man don shook, man don wear him trouser, man don go him way!

Shegzdave:

But according to you, ‘if there’s love in the family, even if it’s garri, they’ll be filled with love’ is fact ?
That your statement is the reason why people continue giving birth in penury.

And why I said it doesn’t speak well for the family esp the kids is cause the kids will be greatly affected compared to their counterparts raised in a family that planned childbearing.

There was a thread where a man was complains of providing for his kids(5 kids, himself and wife), why can’t he continue feeding the family with garri and let love fill the remaining spaces in their stomach?
The love you’re even talking above comes with lots of responsibilities and among them is provision for those you claimed you love.

Sometimes it it's funny how things work in different countries.. In Finland, govt is asking citizen to give birth, it's almost daily ginggle on radio n tv, for young people to produce cos country need to grow population. I mean every child you born, is been paid monthly stipend till they turn 18years. 3 years paid maternity leave for mothers or father etc.. While in Nigeria n some developing country with poverty and no single help from govt, we dey produced children lies flies

You didn't answer my question.

What do you mean by "raising a more than two kids in a poverty stricken home doesn’t speak well for the family especially the kids"?

How does raising more than 2 kids in a poverty stricken home not speak well for the family especially d kids?

Na there one mr okoro in Nigeria , wey bi palm wine tapper dem born 10 in Nigeria without no govt support or anything

How does raising more than 2 kids in a poverty stricken home not speak well for the family especially d kids?

lexy2014:


That's not true. These families will make do with what they have and raise their kids d best way they can. They might be drinking garri but there's love in d family, that will fill their bellies

See Mumu after Northerners, South Easterners give birth the most. I have 2 poor married couples of your Tribe in my Estate with 8 Children and the other with 6 children living in Uncompleted buildings and one of the wives is pregnant with child.

Rubbish talk.

We should be encouraging men to hustle hard and not by limiting number of kids.

Children are gifts from God.
Our southern population is really very low compared to the North,most northerners are not on forums or social media and with their over population they will keep dominating the south for years to come.

We need population here in the south so I ain't buying this shit.

At least 3 is okay.
