Do You Fear For Your Kids Future In Nigeria? by tensazangetsu20(m): 6:33pm On Nov 03, 2020 |
Nairalanders Who Of Recent Have Kids In Nigeria. Do You Fear For Their Future? Nigeria is in a terrible state the worst state it has ever been. Youth unemployment of over 80 percent. Low wages. The world's poverty capital. Crippling hunger and insane food inflation. With all this problems here and there, a few of my friends have vowed never to have kids till they escape from the country but I still see young small children here and there who were born 1 to 3 years ago. Nairalanders who recently had kids how do you feel about your kids? Do you worry about their future or are you optimistic that Nigeria might become a better place in the future for your children. How do you also take care of them with the rising cost of everything from transport to food, rent and all basic necessities? 44 Likes 4 Shares |

Hmnnn. This a deep conversation. Regardless of where you have your kids. I believe alot of work needs to be put into ensuring the kids turn out well and dont stray in life. I agree and admit that kid of Nigerian decent abroad generally turn out well just because the society rewards hard work. So if a child puts in his shift, he almost certainly will be fine. On the other hand, you and I know that not all nigerians youth who desire to travel end up travelling as travelling itself is expensive. Have a few kids, give them good education, ensourgae them in any sport or endeavor they love. Just do your best and leave the rest to God. 120 Likes 3 Shares |

Smile4mee01:Yeah but you can't even get the jobs to give kids a decent life if you wanted to. The average pay of most jobs in Nigeria is 30 to 50k. Only 8 percent of Nigerians earn above 100k which is basically transport and food money for one person in a city like Lagos. 51 Likes 2 Shares |

Klass99:You can be in your house and sars will still come and kill you. Imagine the horrors of the told stories. Now imagine the millions of stories untold. Many more brutal than what we have heard. What of even the army and it's excesses. I had a Sierra Leonean classmate and when he talked about the atrocities the Nigerian army committed in their country, fear gripped me. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

This country is in a mess, it has gone from bad to worse, nothing seems to be working. Just yesterday I was ruminating about my early days in primary school where during break time I joined the long queue with my spoon and food flask to buy rice and plantain with just #5.00, i buy and eat satisfied. Will that amount satisfy our todays kids? Well, let me leave that for you to answer. In today's Nigeria, I pity those couples still popping out kids like a dog, many don't Know what they are getting those kids into. The rate of crime perpetuated by youths, kidnapping, ritual killing etc is on the HIGH side. It is not people like Davido that goes into ritual killing, kidnapping etc. It mostly committed by children of the poor, if you tell them not to rush into marriage, if you tell them to be financially buoyant before having kids, they will tell you, you don't mean well for them, they see you as an enemy. Anyone who can think deep will reason with me that the future of this country is VERY scary, no hope for the children of the poor. 76 Likes 5 Shares |

Even if you have the money, how can you do that relocation when foreign countries are making it strict and stressful? If no good job, don't marry or have kids! Take care of yourself first and make sure you cross all your Ts and Is (stable job). ecomalchemist: 19 Likes |

Raalsalghul:Me I don't even like western anglophone nations like that. I am absolutely fine with Mexico, South America, and all of Asia. South American nations exclusive of Venezuela and Ecuador get money die. Strong passports, amazing food, and beautiful women. Mexico is no brainer it's in the richest continent on earth. One can be in Mexico and build for the American consumer. It is literally just over the border. 3 Likes |

CanadianNaija: Be misleading people with your thinking o, since when have we been hoping that Nigeria is going to get better but instead it's getting worse everyday by everyday. Boss don't trust in Nigeria getting better anymore but individual improving themselves anyhow they can for the sake of our unborn kids but not necessarily wanting to leave the country at all cost, we can still be the best we've always inspire to be while in the country but with maximum hard-working, being focus that will lead us to our goals of being successful. The country hard no be small, I can't stop thinking about everything happening in this country right now, it saddens my heart and weaken my soul. 13 Likes |

Klass99: It's the black man's way: they let the short euphoria of having a child overcloud the negative realities of the environment in which that kid will be raised. Whenever I see folks celebrating the birth of a child in this shithole, I asked myself if they've paused for a second and wondered what future they are leaving for their offspring. Birthing everywhere, yet jobs are not being created to accommodate the growing population. 19 Likes |
