Na so dem go dey born dey change their wife body to old mama.

Useless men who cannot maintain a woman! After the wife isn't looking young anymore due to excessive giving births, they'll now start running to young girls.

Good bless good men.

I understand career woman that just want to give birth to their 1 or 2 children at once and get back to their career but a boli seller is a no no

Poverty is the cause.

Poor man has 1 thing for him coconut head, “FUVK”

What if the man married late and wants to meet up before age caught up with him?

Wen peter obi enta all dis non sense will stop

Family spacing is sure healthy for all the family members. Both, mother, father and children. And it's not even about education but common sense. But this unhealthy spacing is annoyingly common among the poor.

I have always wanted to write on this particular article about the lack of enough gap or spacing of children by most Nigerian parents!

Few months back I was driving along that Abuja-suleja road and decided to stop by to buy some roasted plantain (boli) from a woman by the roadside! But I couldn't help notice her two baby boys crying profusely, she was holding onto one while the other was on the floor, initially I thought they were twins but after looking well, I noticed that the boy on the floor was a bit older! So I offered to help her console the older child because she was obviously frustrated and so that she can be faster with my plantain so I can hit the road back!

I carried the boy to console him and I was surprised by the way the boy clinged to me and immediately stopped crying, he was still a baby who needs his mother's attention and cuddling but all was cut short becos he now has a baby brother! I asked the women for their ages and she said the older was 2years old and his brother was 1year old! I was not really suprised but angry at the poor spacing between children by most of our Nigerian parents!

I mean if she has given them atleast a 3 to 4years age gap, the older brother will be old enough to console and play with his younger brother, while she will be able do her work without getting fraustrated and depriving the older baby of the care, attention and also stopping his breastfeeding at that early stage! This lack of child spacing harbits is very common among our parents!

I just want to urge our upcoming parents, new couples and singles hoping to get married someday and give birth to please practice a good child spacing of atleast 2-4years age gap, it has a lot of benefits and also give you time to take care of the child properly and also allowing the mothers body rest and become stronger in preparation for another child

have u married

This thing popular for Afonja land

Lagosians can relate

Many other countries does it too. Don’t come here and yeye your country.

This is why the govt should make mass awareness of family planning I'm sure that will still born like five

Islandlady:
Hm Nawa o, she I say it is illitracy or poverty that is the cause of it or what! The woman will surely look older than her age because of all the responsibilities naa!

the rich is even poorer in spacing

Romanoff:
What about those that family planning failed them?

Family planning failed some one 4 or 5 times ?
I doubt that.

Open your eyes when making love, know when condom breaks

Op: child spacing isn't the problem here. But the care given to the children which is lack of planning and poverty ruined. Mercy Johnson did the same and she has a healthy children. Other well to do individuals did the same thing, planned ahead and made provision for it. No matter the spacing between children, issues like this and worst will come up if there's no plan and resource to nurture them.
I see nothing bad in having all your children within short period and couples face raising them together provided it's well planned and resource are available. One man's food is another's poison.

Natbrowny:
Na so my female neighbor marry ooo. Smallie for that matter 4 yrs ago oo. We don enter 5th year. Belle baby number 5 don enter, If you see the remaining four kids. Dem be like quadruplets. Almost same size

And most annoying thing both she and d husband no dey tek care of d kids.

She looks old now sef. Too many kids in little time. Haba na. Make we dey fear God, to staff sef require sense.

Men and women need to be smart and break that cycle of yearly birth. Every time you make love shouldn't amount to pregnancy.

Not only you guys come for this earth!

Poverty can be avoided.
Most of us have done it and it worked.

I served in an igbo village, although they frown against polygamy but the one wife they marry would be squeezed dry, you can easily see a woman that bore over 8 kids, one woman even told me that given birth to just 2 is not different from being barren, I even saw one with 12, the northerners are on this table too.
Honourable mention to those Igedes in South west villages....more power to your gbola.

I think the yorubas are still more receptive to family planning than other tribes.

Romanoff:

Condom hardly fails. Generally, the rate of contraceptive failure is very low. You can't say contraceptive failure is responsible for most families having so many children.

All dis Mumu poor Nigerians wit der Bleep mentality
Person go de manage for 1room de Bleep lik say 2morrow no de, food no de ooo ntin de, de Mumu go de open Nyash up nd down wit hungry way de wire dem

I am a married man and except you get married you may not understand very well. A lot of kids come through accidental discharge.

In fact my second kid was not planned. I was using withdrawal method and even avoiding ovulation time but lol, didn't work. Even condom may not always be available. So also susctible to failure. Lol

Oyibo people would call that unwanted pregnancy and abort it but we Nigerians have conscience. Even family planning also fail these days. My brother nobody will intentionally space his kids for just 1 year. Impossible

very true. But people marry late now and spacing will become hard.

https://gist.am/question/there-is-a-lack-of-enough-age-gap-or-spacing-between-siblings-in-nigeria

There's no 100% fail-proof contraceptive method.

thebosstrevor1:


There is nothing like family planning failed them.

Condoms, pills and other family planning does not fail.
The people using it fail to use it properly or decided not to use it at all.

You won't understand. Some are not intentional.

fisayodayo:
Many other countries does it too. Don’t come here and yeye your country.

People like you are the problem of this country So I should not talk about some challenges we faced in our country! Every countries got their own problem

Stop this mentality of don't yeye our country until the problem pass our power!

I am of the opinion that the child should be at least one year before another pregnancy, for health reasons, except in cases where contraceptive disappoints.

Let the body come back to shape and rest from one child, so even if one wants to have all children in a short while maybe because they are concerned about age, have at least one year difference between your new baby and another pregnancy by the time you have the baby the other one will be two years it's still as good as having 2 babies because it's quite stressful but still a bit fair from what we see children ages 5,4,3, 2 from the same mother, she will almost die from stress. The children won't even get the appropriate attention because they are both babies.

Back then there used to be 3years solid gap between children in the part of Nigeria I come from but late marriage is changing this.


Pregnancy takes a toll on women you need to recover nauu.

This article is not really necessary. Research from the WHO shows that as women get more education, they tend to have fewer kids and are more likely to do family planning. So all the plenty talk means little or nothing Just educate the women and see what happens.

Oh please.

There is this man a shoemender I do patronise many years ago.

This man's wife gave birth to 5 kids in less than 6 years.

I think the reason is because average Nigerian parents think the probability of have successful kids increased with increased number of kids.

Anyway, these days it is common across every class/level due to late marriages.
