ignore that moniker angry
Who do I believe now?

I think I'll go with the first guy. Obavoh's stories have to be mostly cleverly made-up with a tiny grain of truth. Nobody who has his income and time constraints will have the time and phone to be doing all these postings. Simply NOT possible

I tire o... 7kids in this regime and if care is not taking, he will still add another one.
The wife is to be blamed. If the husband doesn't know when to stop, what about her?

So what do you want us to do? I don't get it.
It won't be a bad idea to help them pay for a room and parlour even if na for 1 year. So that the man will be able to raise some money to pay up for subsequent years

Guyman02:
That guy has been on Nairaland for years and people have advised him about family planning severally but he keeps popping out kids with his wife he married as under age after impregnating her as a secondary school student.
Many people here know his story and he used to post pictures of them before

All in do time. Try to save and move to a two room or better still rent out your house in the village. Life can only get better from here on out.

Since Bandits attacked my village last year, we had to abandon the 2 bedroom home that I built.

We have moved into the main town and I managed to rent a small but spacious room for my growing family.

The problem is that me, my wife and children all sleep in the same room now. This has affected the Romance between my wife and I.

The older children sleep on the floor and our last 2 babies sleep on the same bed with us. We demarcated the bed with a small curtain for privacy.

I have to make sure the children are asleep before I can touch my wife but I always feel the older children are light sleepers. Since we moved here I have not been successful in showing love to my wife.

Out of frustration, my wife and I started bathing together around 5a.m in the morning but the landlord warned me seriously and said such a thing is forbidden in his Gida so we stopped.

I work Monday to Sunday during the day so I only have night time to spend with my wife. I am losing my happiness.
7 kids....abeg u wan sell them for Temu or Jumia ni.......Nawa o, later now u go blame one government administration for ur misfortune....
It's okay, continue.....a lame man never learns

Thank you for the insult sir.

My wife and Children are living the best life I can give. We are not hungry we are not suffering.

I earn 150,000 Naira monthly and take good care of my family for your information.

See our dinner last night. None of my children goes to bed with an empty stomach

150k in these era is nothing my cousin sister's kids are paying almost 60k per term for school fees and you have 7 kids.
Are they going to school? Instead of sex try think of another thing if that you and your wife didn't make it obvious say una get konji the landlord wouldn't have intervened.
Out of curiosity... What does "cousin sister" mean?!!

Is she the sister of your cousin?!!

If that's the case, then why not just say "my cousin"?!!


When and how did such poor grammar become so common place among Nigerian youths, even the educated ones?!!

150k can manage 7 children in Nigeria now
@20k per head monthly (feeding, clothing, toiletries, medicals, education...and many more!

I pray God opens your eyes to see the implications of what you have done so you will be able to stop childbearing and focus on generating more income, empowering your wife to contribute financially to the family fortune and concentrate on giving the seven children sound education.

What state is this if I may ask?

I guess Benue or Plateau?

May God intervene, you can try renting 2 rooms, even if they are passage house so you can be getting maximum pleasure from your wife. You should ensure to go for family planning or be using protection

May God intervene in your case in Jesus name.

Baba which state are you in?

I'll really love to know your state if 150k can comfortably take care of a family of 9 people for a month.

You sound like a very responsible man.

150k can manage 7 children in Nigeria now
I'm earning close to that amount, but I can tell you it difficult to run it with my wife and I, including our son
Re: Managing A One Room Apartment With My Wife And 7 Children by Hueyreckless0007: 3:00pm On May 03, 2025
With the situation of the country, a reasonable person shouldn’t have more than 2 kids.

Ure talking of 7 kids, living in a one room apartment? Must you bring them to this world to suffer? Nawa for you oga.
