When he was knacking the Akpako did he solicit the support of the Government, well-meaning Nigerians and philanthropists?

Carry your crosses o. Buhari already has too many things to worry about

mmsen:
What kind stupidness be dis?
One income, one bedroom apartment, 5 pikin but you want to celebrate?

mmsen:


Right.

Why do these people always appeal to 'government' to help them?

If government told them to use birth control would the listen? Or would they get angry?

I get your point, and indeed I get very VERY pissed off when I see these indigent peep bringing unneeded battalions into the world. And then they start disturbing 'government and well-meaning individuals' to come to their aid. No one says poor people cannot have children, but for goodness sake don't they bring just the ones they can take off. Useless people!!

HOWEVER. .

In this particular case, I think we should cut the husband some slack. HE probably was expected just one, which they (him and wify) probably would have been able to cater for (the wife is employed). But getting FOUR additional babies clearly comes with a lot of unexpected expsenses

If you can't fend for yourself how do you plan on raising 5 children?

It is completely foolish and irrational what this couple of have done and the fact that so many people on this forum cannot see that is why you keep having to endure 'leaders' who come from within your own ranks and take you all for granted.

Keep producing anyhow whilst crying about a lack of development. It's your own stupid custom and your own doing.

Birth control for first pregnancy?
Government take care of multiples in other countries.
Please do your research before commenting..
Can you care for 5 babies alone?

They could have cared for one baby alone.
Are they God that gave them 5?
If you can't help, keep mute.

This is not good for the economy.


One is unemployed and he is busy overpopulating the country and increasing poverty rate in the country.


Well I won't blame them, even nairaland celebrates couples with 10children as if its an achievement, not knowing that they are overpopulating the country.

Which government takes care of multiples? What are their demographics - do they have large expanding populations like Nigeria or shrinking populations like Japan, Romania or Russia?

Why would the Nigerian FG or state governments look to encourage rapid population growth when the people are doing so already without any idea on how to care for their children?

I'm trying to educate you and you're still sounding ignorant. Multiple pregnancy is almost never planned.
So never budgeted for. Hence, Government intervention. This is their first pregnancy and they got this. Should they kill them?
If you can't help, leave them alone.

I do not have 5 children nor would I have 5 children because it is irresponsible.

mmsen:


It is not a good thing at all.

Most of Nigeria's problems can be explained by way of the ridiculous rate of reproduction.

The leaders (political, traditional and religious) can take advantage of the population because they know it is a large, seemingly endless well of cheap labor, poverty and desperation.

MizMyColi:


My dear.
Shebi it's the same way other men release into their wives that he released his own?

Did he command the quintuplets while doing the do?

I understand your point, but in saner climes, large populations are meant to be an advantage.

It is different if he just gives birth 5 times.

If na me born JUST Three at a go like this, omo na to build duplex then close the book of revelations o

I no fit shout!

It's not about the size of the population it is about quality. Until Nigerians stop shouting about size or number and realize that it is quality that matters then the problems that plague Nigeria will persist.

These people did not have 5 children by accident. I'm pretty sure that they were (mis)using some form of fertility medication and that is why they had so many in one swoop.
