Having many children in a bad economy can lead to various consequences, including:

1. Financial strain: A bad economy often implies limited job opportunities, lower wages, and increased unemployment rates. Raising a large family in such circumstances can impose a significant financial burden on parents, as they struggle to meet basic needs like food, clothing, education, healthcare, and housing for every child.

2. Limited resources: With a bad economy, resources become scarce, and families with many children may struggle to provide adequate resources for each child. This can result in compromises on education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities, affecting the overall development and opportunities available to the children.

3. Increased poverty: Raising many children in a bad economy can push families into poverty or exacerbate their existing poverty. Poverty affects the quality of life of both parents and children, leading to inadequate nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, housing instability, and limited opportunities for upward social mobility.

4. Limited future prospects: In a bad economy, parents may struggle to save money for their children's future needs, such as college expenses or starting a career. This can limit the opportunities available to the children and hinder their ability to break out of the cycle of poverty in the long term.

5. Education challenges: A bad economy often impacts the education sector, leading to budget cuts, reduced resources, and overcrowded classrooms. Children from large families may face difficulties in accessing quality education due to limited financial and academic , potentially affecting their future prospects.

6. Strained emotional well-being: Financial stress and the inability to provide for all children's needs can lead to increased parental stress and tensions within the family. Children may also experience higher stress levels due to the lack of resources, witnessing their parents' struggles, or feeling neglected or overlooked.

7. Limited parental time and attention: Raising many children demands substantial time and attention from parents. In a bad economy, where parents may need to dedicate more time to work or multiple jobs to make ends meet, the ability to provide individual attention, , and guidance to every child may be compromised.

It's important to note that these consequences can vary depending on factors such as the specific economic conditions, the social available, and the resilience and adaptability of both parents and children.

I think you should have started by defining what you meant by "many children".

But it's never too late.

So, what number is actually "many"

Soccrates:


Rubbish talk.

We should be encouraging men to hustle hard and not by limiting number of kids.

Children are gifts from God.
Our southern population is really very low compared to the North,most northerners are not on forums or social media and with their over population they will keep dominating the south for years to come.

We need population here in the south so I ain't buying this shit.

At least 3 is okay.

It's very Unfortunate Sane people are sharing a country with these set of beings. It's just very Unfortunate. Sigh.

KidFromForeign:
What exactly can't you understand from the statement?
Ogbeni, your question have been answered,nobody send you to born battalion..

Why are u so hurt?

Where was d following question answered?

How does raising more than 2 kids in a poverty stricken home not speak well for the family especially d kids?

victory36:
you are one of Nigeria's biggest problems

How does that negate the following:

That's not true. These families will make do with what they have and raise their kids d best way they can. They might be drinking garri but there's love in d family, that will fill their bellies

talented321:
And the single mom in my street with two kids is pregnant again' gbese ehn

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cassandraloius:
I wish every parent will see this. A family of 5 that barely feed, I was surprised to see the woman pregnant again, and she was like, "this is the last one, this baby fit come uplift us from this poverty".

I don't even know what answer I'd give to her that would not sound like an insult.

Do you actually mean a family of 5(2 parents and 3kids ) or a family with 5 children (in other words, a family of 7)? T

Make una no dey write confusing English nau

VTJN:
money is very important in life. An hungry man is an angry man. I personally know some kids that has become wayward as a result of poverty. Their parents are extremely poor. You can never be strict on your kids when you couldn't provide them ordinary food. These children are sent home from public school as a result of debt. They wear tattered clothes. The first daughter is 17 and already sleeping around to fend for herself. The boys walk shamelessly on the street begging for food. You can never have a good children with poverty. Hunger can make adult misbehave not to talk of children. An hungry child will not be focus in school. An hungry child can steal. Yahoo boys now send these children errands during school hours just because of little change they'd get to feed. I know someone who lost his child due to poverty. He couldn't afford taking the child to hospital.

If you think you can raise a responsible kids with poverty then you must be joking.

Did I tell you that money isn't important in life?

What has an angry man and a hungry have to do raising a child?

Is the child now the hungry and angry man?

You personally know the kids. Do you live with them in their house that you now conclude that it is because of poverty that they are wayward?

Did you witness poverty making them wayward?

Which research did you do to have arrived at the conclusion that "You can never have a good children with poverty"?

How many children have you raised that made you say that "If you think you can raise a responsible kids with poverty then you must be joking"?

Are you saying that there are no kids from rich homes that are wayward?

When yahoo boys were sending kids message, where were their parents?

Psammmy:
Sometimes it it's funny how things work in different countries.. In Finland, govt is asking citizen to give birth, it's almost daily ginggle on radio n tv, for young people to produce cos country need to grow population. I mean every child you born, is been paid monthly stipend till they turn 18years. 3 years paid maternity leave for mothers or father etc.. While in Nigeria n some developing country with poverty and no single help from govt, we dey produced children lies flies

They should be giving Nigerians Visas easily for like 5 years , let's storm there and impregnate the Impregnable

DevilishMan:
A lot of Afonjanistans will eat their children by December.

They only do cannibalism in iboland

coldFLARES1:
I've been totally downcast since probing my younger sister last night after she approached me for assistance with an health-related issue.

We're not a close knit family because I long detached from reenacting any behaviour that could limit the opportunities of my kids like I had with my parents (yet dad did his utmost best. God forgive his errors and rest his soul).

She's 8yrs my junior, now has 6kids and is presently a single-mom, abandoned by the man she had the children for.

Sadest part was, the man absconded in 2015 abandoning her with 5 children; returned in 2021 to impregnate her with the sixth child and has abandoned her now.

Was heartbreaking, I asked her to convince me she wasn't a witch who loved to suffer needlessly.

🤦‍♂️😯

E reach to ask this question however sarcastic or funny it sounds

With the many unavoidable problems in Life, people with eyes wide open will still add more avoidable problems to increase their sorrow & suffering...nawa o

Go to correctional centres across the 36 states and FCT. 95% are raised from poor home. The rate of Yahoo Yahoo is as a result of poverty. Parents now encourage their children into cyber fraud. Before you see one single rich man child useless or wayward then millions of poor men children are already lost. An hungry child can easily be influenced. You can never raise a responsible kids without money. Stop blabbing

Let them continue to f*uck every night then in the day when the sperm fill everywhere, they will blame God for many children - I always wondered when God was presence when the man is jumping on the woman and the woman is shouting Daddy more by 2am mid night when God is having general meeting in heaven with Arc Angeles....


I pray that any one with more than two children and can not feed let, let the children molest their parents and make their Father suffer and beat up their mother for careless legs spreading, because if you don't bring them, they won't come!

Come to think about it, is this world as is going now a place to even bring kids? Pls just take a look at the society, not just Nigeria, is erywhere in the world!
If I want to have 1 or 2kids strictly only!!!, I must have arrange for them because I don't want them to come and suffer for the sake of my careless sperm, they are too innocent

tensazangetsu20:
What if you gave birth when the economy was still good. Would you kill them when the economy gets bad

The question is why have multiple kids?

Our fore fathers did it because lots of their kids died from illnesses without the advancement of medicine and absent of vaccines. If you born 10,3 or 4 may die. Out of the 7, they will be girls and they needed boys.

But now,why have more than two kids? One is ideal for me. Many may like two have a test of both genders so two.

My two cents though

tensazangetsu20:

Way back 80s I know lots of Educated parents today including my parents who gave birth to only 4, some 3

Now adays is now..... 2

So i wonder what actually is your interest in bringing innocent kids, is all about sex?

Their is more to do than that!



Well for those who lost their parents, we have natural cause.
That is why men should be careful most especially men.

Because death can come anytime, so your girls will be sleeping with all the dogs on the street for comfort and money

Men should also save ahead for just a child or 2 only incase death come!

Nigerias 60% poverty is caused by the excess SEX. People don't have plan for children, they only blame God for loosing 2023 elections....

Nigerian government needs to do more especially on those beggars on the road still giving birth to kids. They should be arrested and locked up for a long time. This message should be ingested more by ladies. If you Allow your husband de pump you belle anyhow, na for your body the thing go tell more. Be wise !!

This is one major reason we have multiplicity of poor families & by implication a poor country. The same can be said for most African countries..

For example we are quick to compare ourselves with fellow oil producing countries like UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia.. These three countries produce more oil & yet with average of 6million population.. but we expect to have an equal high standard of living with theirs with our population of 200million people.. How? We need to face the reality, we are a poor country .

Baliqeez:
Whoever that's not practising birth control nowadays with the way Nigerian economy is will only not cause problems for the future of his children but also planning to strain life off himself due to hardship.

A word is enough for the wise.

And there will always be Government to blame..🤣

It's well a yoruba will always say that what the child or children will eat them go bring am from heaven ..

So no make people fear abeg ..

Let the poor breath 😂

Georgejeez:

Unfortunately, they don't want mixed blood. If not they would have invited Indians. I haven't seen a country as perverted as Indians. If you have a hole, you are not safe in India cause they will rape you.

lexy2014:


It isn't sarcasm. It's not just a fact, it's the truth. Raising a family goes just beyond all these expectations u have. Whether u like it or not, many kids will be raised in poor homes where they don't have everything. What do you think keeps those families going?

Children being wayward isn't just a function of finances. It is a function of good values. A parent being poor does not necessarily mean he or she can't impart good values in their child.

So guy put away all these your idealistic theories. Life is more dynamic than that especially for parents/families

@ the bolded.
Beyond what keeps them going, it's more of the menace children with poor up bringing without proper education cause the society.. I tell you this situation contributes immensely to why Nigeria is poor because such families depend much on what the Government can do

lexy2014:


If your response was offpoint, there is nothing to get hence my question....How does raising more than 2 kids in a poverty stricken home not speak well for the family especially d kids?

Poor education, poor nutrition, low self esteem children & possible menace to the society.. while there can be exemption via God's Grace but at the same time "wisdom is profitable to direct" Wisdom demands that we cut our coats according to our sizes..

Abeg ask the mumu poster

When was the economy ever "still good"?

MITCHELL96:
If you don't have money and want to have more than 2 kids in this economy, you go explain tire Asin, you go explain tire

Most Nigerians as is cannot afford even the one, let alone two.

ednut1:
people without resources should be sterilized after two kids. Bunch of unresponsive people .
See below from a Facebook group . A useless woman with 5 children already and struggling is looking for how to give birth to a son 🤣

Na wickedness this be, very heartless humans out there!

Demurray:
When was our economy good? Abi you no be Nigerian?

Excellent question!

Or a witch who loves to torture innocent souls in order to fill the hole in her person.

How many of you own even the small space wey dey your backyard talk less of farm?

. So very painful!

gannod:
■ The southern part of Nigeria has no problem with this, the focus should be on the region who dey "born throway"

Open your eyes! Southerners are equally as guilty of this as those you love to hate on. Look around you at the suffering that remains commonplace even right there in the southern community where you live. There has never been a time in the history of Nigeria when such was reasonably OK.
