What exactly are we doing in this country?
Are we chickens?
It's becoming quite alarming and annoying at the same time...... they seriously need to implement a law against the number of children per family in my country because it's now getting out of control.
We get to see the wealthy men give birth to three children at maximum even when they can take care of Ten children comfortably but then the "Poor ones" who find it difficult to eat three-squared meal a day will be busy giving birth almost every year.
Why on earth will my neighbor who is a keke driver married to a housewife give birth to Six children,did you hear me well, I said Six healthy Children and guess what?
She is currently pregnant with the Seventh child?
The first child as young as he is around 14years I think is already hawking one goods or another (today it's satchet pure water.... tomorrow, it's orange) when he is meant to be in school learning.
Makes me wonder if there's an award for the lady that delivers the highest number of children or are we all giving birth for fun even at the detriment of our unborn children?
Makes me wonder if there's an award for the lady that delivers the highest number of children or are we are giving birth even when we are very sure that our resources won't be able to give these little ones a guaranteed meal everyday till they grow up?
What's really the competition for (Even when Davido told us No Competition in Timeless album or we didn't hear that?)
Now, you get to see this Man at his comfort zone reminding these children that they are the leaders of tomorrow....
Which tomorrow please?
Make it make sense to me please?
When they are hawking instead of going to school?
No doubt... Miracles happen and one way or the other, they might end up becoming the leaders of tomorrow but then is that why you will give birth to children you can't even train up to secondary school?
The next line of action will be to distribute these children to various relatives and the brotherly love these children were meant to develop growing up ends up shattered.
When they've grown up at different locations and finally come back, you see them struggling for lands and you get to ask yourself if these people are actually brothers and sisters of the same parent...
But then you won't blame them since they grew up as strangers...Total strangers and the brotherly love is lacking.
I don't even want to delve into talking about the gross inhumane treatment and child abuse some of these children suffer in the hands of wherever they were taken to because it's a whole subject matter on its own.... It's really sad in all ramifications to give birth to more than you can care for please
It's really high time we ask ourselves questions before we take crucial decisions.
Let's really look down into our conscience and ask ourselves before we give birth....
Can We Give This Child The Best Or Atleast The Basic Requirements (Needs) Of Life?
At any point when our answer Is No, we should try to reconsider.
It's not a competition of who gave birth the most and ladies of my country should know that, please.
Just give birth to the number of children you can take care of...It's always not a matter of how far but a matter of how well.
Have a nice day as you think deep into the question,
Can I Give This Child The Best He Or She Will Need In Life?
Thanks for reading and have a nice day 👍
