A Nigerian lady has triggered heated discussions online after sharing a controversial video where she bluntly stated that people who cannot provide basic comfort have no business bringing children into the world.

In the clip, she argued that:

Anyone still boarding public buses with a baby strapped to their back should reconsider having children.

Couples still living with their parents should not be starting families.

Parents who struggle to pay school fees on time should not be having additional children.


She went further to say that if a child is forced to hawk or accompany parents to shops and markets in school uniform immediately after classes, then the decision to have children was already a mistake. According to her, if a couple cannot consistently afford three square meals, they should not have children at all.

The lady emphasized that her point had nothing to do with education, but with common sense and responsible planning.

Although the video was originally recorded in August, it resurfaced this weekend on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), where it quickly began trending and attracting a wave of reactions.

Many viewers strongly criticized her stance, describing it as insensitive and disconnected from the realities of economic hardship faced by millions. Others argued that raising a family is a fundamental right and not something that should be dictated by financial status.

The video continues to spark debate across social media, as people share conflicting opinions on whether financial stability should be a prerequisite for parenthood.

She's right. Why bring children into this world to suffer? We have suffered on their behalf. My hubby and I agreed on only 2 children not because we can train them. Gone are days when people born 12. Even if you are a farmer, business man, born what you can carter for and give them good life comfortably like our politicians do.

➜The father should have the children we all know in any culture any nation the father has the children as the kids that is it especially when they have grown but it in case of younger ones can stay with their mother pending when they grow

See her mouth like age aluwala.

Clature:
➜She has warned. Let those with ears and those who claim to have common sense hear.
Again, Nigerians remain too strange a people. Read the comments. Does anyone need to tell anyone not to have children they know they cannot afford? Later, those commenters will still beg you for funds for medicine, pampers and school fees; say no.
When I see children hawking, begging or constituting a nuisance to the windscreen of my car, I feel a deep sense of disgust and anger. And in a rightful and intelligent society, they should be seized by social services and their parents arrested and punished.
➜If there are people within the national legislature and executive that view this platform, I would encourage them before it’s too late to amend the recent tax laws to include an added tax on anyone who has more than 1 or 2 children. It would assist in reducing this population of daftness since they (the leaders) have massacred the education sector.

Kobojunkie:
Show us your mouth, let us see if you were born with anything better than what she was? 🙄🙄

Nonsense... you dey body shame her because she talk true... typically Nigerian .....🙄🙄

I have a question.

Why do Nigerian people like making stupid and desperate people go viral and popular?

Beniyke1:
If our parents were to have strictly enforced this then many of us wouldn’t be born today, infact there wouldn’t be up to a million in the world as a whole

flexyrule:
I wanted to argue with her, but looking at the environment the video was made, I had no option than to reason with her.

If we were to adopt her hypothesis, the world would have missed a lot of talents and breakthroughs.

Cuz we wouldn't have had people like:

Mike Adenuga - who worked as a taxi driver to fund his education
Victor Osihmen - World class footballer who sold pure water in Lagos traffic
Patoranking - who moved from Ebony to Lagos to hawk gala.
Oprah Winfrey - Media Mogul who was born to a teenage single mother in Mississippi, in a neighbourhood that didn't have electricity and running water.
Jan Koum - Founder of Whatsapp
Howard Schultz - former Starbucks CEO
Harold Hamm - was raised by Oklahoma sharecroppers. This self-made billionaire started out by picking cotton barefooted.
Roman Abramovich - Russian Billionaire who was born into poverty in southern Russia where he was orphaned by age two.
Dolly Parton - Renowned artist
Lakshmi Mittal - Indian Steel Tycoon
Jay Z - Named greatest rapper of all time by Billboard and Vibe

The list goes on and on...

Life is not a 1+1=2 thing like the "social media people" want to make it seem.

Lukuluku69:
Roaming Aunty, you ought to know that no everyone will own a car, or have money for cabs/bolt/Uber etc, to now say that if someone have a baby strapped behind her and looking to commute in Public Transportation, the person ought not to have a child or limit the number of child is outright hogwash.

I would have thought you have been healed with this Roaming things
of yours but it seems, the agana is a strong one.

God bless u. Everyone wants to trend.

Impossible is nothing for God sha. I hope you find that healing and if you don't, well.....

Hornome:
I understand her point sha.
Most Nigerians parent have that behaviour of having children with no plans what so ever, the notion is always " God go take care of them"

AfonjaPriest:
You might not like what she said.
But the truth is bitter.
If you cannot take care of yourself, you have no business getting married or even having children.

kpankpangolo:
If poor people birth only one child or none at all, the country will become better. Their only argument is that one out of fifty children may become a billionaire and he/she will lift the entire household out of poverty. Reality shows this is hardly the case.
