Seriously? Even a family earning 400k can barely survive. Mind you, 150k was enough for this same family before BAT came. Now, they can barely make do with all their monthly earnings. No more money to invest in projects because all your money goes into fuel and food!
You live in a country with over 50% food inflation annually since probably 2010. Food inflation drives up the prices of whatever you spend money on. You don't need magic to see the future will be mad with a family.

I saw it and I held back. It is not a decision our society supports but society will not suffer with me, they will laugh and mock.

You wish ooo. I love kids, I'm not selfish enough to bring them here to suffer. Because I want to sample my kids to society like trophies, I should have kids I can't care for to my taste.

Tinubu curtailed Nigeria's birthrate madness without ever talking about it.

You're aware you'll need to apply powder to prevent baby rashes right? Plus the cloth diapers will still wet the babys skin
Cloth diapers are still better than most pampers with toxic chemicals and plastics, just be sure to use quality cotton material. Keeping your babies bum well-moisturized will prevent most rashes and it's just a matter of changing the diaper once it's wet. A lot of people leave babies in dirty pampers to save cost. My sister and I were raised on cloth diapers and I personally took care of my sister as a baby so I'm sure they are effective. She never had any issues with rashes at all.

Chill bro, things will get better, soon. Don't lose hope.

1. Buy foods in Bulk, got to village markets if you can, foods are cheaper there.

2. Buy some perishable foodstuffs from night markets if there's any in your area, you're likely to get it cheaper

3. Find an alternate source of income to augment your current earnings.

All will be well
Thanks for the suggestion but I do all that already. The truth of the matter is simple my income has actually increased but the purchasing power has dwarfed and handicapped it. Barely a year ago I was doing very well with a smaller take home

Watch Tinubu supporters come and call the parents lazy and ungrateful people while they themselves have either ran out of the country or looking for ways to run out of the country they claim Tinubu is turning to paradise
Which people run out of the country, just go to the villages where majority of them reside, they could barely feed let alone taking care of their aged family members

Go back to cloth diapers, the government no send you and quite frankly the cost will never come down! If simple things like diapers and wipes are too expensive for you then you need to go back to the natural way our grandmothers did it......There's no shame in that, reserve modern diapers for outings and use cloth diapers at home.....SHIKENA!

Nappies are not relevant in children's lives, if anything nappies are not good for the invironment such as Naigeeria, the weather is hot and disposal of nappies is a big environmental problem.

Me self dey under this kind pressure..... My last set of children are twins and I spent almost 20k alone on their diaper monthly. That's minus food oooo and other expenses oooo plus I already have 2 sons before who are already in kindergarten. So it's not easy. For salary that is about 100k plus.... I really feel bad for about people way never start this parenting business oooo but it is quite obvious things won't get better
Since you already had two children who are so young as they're in kindergarten, why go ahead to have more children? Na una dey do unaselves.

Was Nigeria better under Buhari? So why worsen things for yourself going forward?

you should be running for your life not settling down to make babies.
They have already sent the message that this is only thier world now, not for everybody.
By the time your nation has civil servant terrorists and you still dont get the message.
Only them are allowed to have children now, not you.
The world ended for normal people when they lined up the population to take the jab.

Thy telling you in everyday they can that the show is over tribulation style, and youre still settling down making babies.
This must be the thin line between duty and selfishness, bringing children to a government with terrorists inside, who has already lined up the population to take depopulation jab.

All over the world people are fleeing to the mountains building bunkers etc.
The only people allowed to settle down and build family now is them, not you, unless you hate your child or you want to give birth to someone you can use as house help. The child you love more than yourself no longer belongs here, thats only for then now.

THat is why you cannot afford diper as they slowly boil the frog, you think they playing cause the water is just warm for now. The world ended for normal people when they rolled out that jab
Bros,

This your logic again. So what do you say about Russia and China who had a different vaccination programme compared to the rest of the world? Notwithstanding the vaccination programme, Africa's birth rate is still the highest globally. The world is going to be blacker with Indians in second position.

Buhari happened to Nigeria followed immediately by Tinubu's brand of shege! That is 9.5 years of back-to-back hardship. And do you want us to believe that some accident happened? That you folks even have sex drives with all of the shege and hunger in the land is something worth opening the psychiatric pages for! angry

You had TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. It is not like you did not have a child...you had two already in KINDERGARTEN.

Family planning is no excuse. Sorry, I am harsh, but you know your financial situation better than anyone here. So, why worsen it? Was Nigeria better under Buhari? How is it Tinubu's fault that you sought more children under your present financial condition?

Unfortunately you are not even been harsh here.... You are just been judgemental and unreasonable.... It's sad because there are people out there that look at you and think you have the capacity to really comprehend and think well. Sadly it is non existent in you. Try to read and understand, not read to reply. It is clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that I made a statement that indicated that we were already on a family planning arrangement (or like I wrote it, Family planning had other plans for us). But for reasons best know to you, you didn't see that part and will just go head and pass judgement. Humans and their many short falls.

Imagine someone asking if Nigeria was better under Buhari? Only that statement alone tell me how dumb and myopic you are. I don't even need to respond to you again.... It's a total waste of time

Thats roughly 200 pieces plus or minus depending on the size.

Dem suppose wipe you oraimo chord for neck.

Family planning had other plans yen yen yen.

You think say na illiterate you dey follow talk?

Family planning is one of the most effective things in medicine.

How you wan even get implant on your about 100k salary? I'm sure it's withdrawal method you call family planning.

How were you even catering for two kids on such salary? Yet you still had to born born again.

Even God is not happy at you for depriving those kids of a good life. angry
