The rich have a lot more to occupy them other than knacking their wives. The poor rely on knacking as their means of enjoyment apart from football and cheap alcohol (which will almost certainly kill them in the end). It is a simple equation: the more you play with madam the higher the chances of you having children.

Now- that was not so difficult to understand was it?

1. They see them as investments.
2. They 'know' people who will look after, train etc the children for them

actually the real answer is due to lack of birth control.

they cant afford the birth control if the know about it.

but mostly its because they dont even know of proper birth control. and they are human just like rich folks and want skin on skin action and not rubber on skin. so dont start saying condom.

also, many of them cant afford to play with other madams. you know the way rich folks do. so they have to play with only the madam they married.

the poor need education and access to affordable birth control. from the forecasts nigeria's population will be about 750,000,000 by the year 2050. and thats not such a long time. yet we cant even feed the 150 million we have.

The rich could hang out at cinemas,surf the internet,get too busy with the so many deadline to meet but the only recreation a poor man knows is sex.
Even the money to have the dreaded abortion is non existing.

Actually the poor especially in Nigeria just believe " The God that gave them the children will take care of them". Dangerous ignorance!

If am to comment or reply on this, i would start vexing, Cuz this issue has been a concern to me since i was a child, The poorer some people are dictates the number of kids they have, Some foo, ls would give birth to 9kids and send all of the to public skools, some would send them out to hawk on the street, I see this as sheer wickedness on some parents part. You know that you don't have the required resources to take care of the children and you would still take in, There was a fool that was asked why she took in after 8kids, that how was she gonna take care of the child, She replied by saying "Olorun lon toju omo" meaning that its God that takes care of a child, On the naming ceremony day she came to meet my mum 2days before the naming, that she should assist her financially, My mum was about giving her, before i stepped in and told her a abrupt nope!!! Very soon she would start putting bread on the child head. Is that the way the "Olorun toju omo"? If i can have my way, i wouldn't mind arresting parents that indulge in such. Infact giving birth to more than 4kids in today's world doesn't make any form of sense anymore, Every1 wanna make the little they have very comfortable, Rather than making your 5-6kids struggle all through.

The same reason they are poor; a lot of them are stu.p.id
otherwise why would someone have another child when he and the children are already starving?
thats why east africa pisses me off big time. (all charity roads lead to east africa)

The largest percentage of the poor are uneducated and don't know what is called family planning!

You forget about your economic status when you are on-top of a woman. So the poor perpetually lives on top of their wives
Re: Why Do The Poor Have More Babies? by Wallie(m): 5:24pm On Oct 18, 2011
Due to one or more of the following:

1. Hedging their bet that some of their kids will survive.
2. Lack of access to contraceptive/family planning.
3. Source of cheap labor.
4. Early start in having babies.
5. Lack of education.

Poor people have nothing better to offer the world than increase our populations and multiply our liabilities.
They breed like animals without commonsense.

There should be a law to stop poor couples from having children until they can prove that they can provide for them without being a burden to the rest of the community and society.

They get more babies because ministering (intimacy) to their wives is all they do. Besides dem no get money to do family planning. Most traditional men believes it is an abomination to count ur children

Idleness! cos the man and wife are always almost at home together, they tend to jump on each other at the slightest provocation. Also they may not really be able to afford many of the birth control pills or devices.

$ex is the freest form of relaxation you can come across.

They also tend to have more babies the same way the rich accumulate wealth.

It has to be a win-win situation for them and everybody is happy at the end of the day.

Sex bring uncommon Happiness to the poor.

The only closest time they have to discuss with their wife(ves) is during sex.

Sex is just the only thing that makes life goes around.

I may be wrong though

But the poor enjoy sex more than the rich.


and the result is Babiessssss
