You cant tell me the number of kids to have because even when the regularion of the government taking care of children are made, the people that wiol enjoy it more in the Nigeria of today are those who are at the herm of affairs or those who have Abraham as their father.
The subject of population control is one that has been around for a long time now in my country; many people are for it, while others are against it. Welcome to a country that will find it difficult to adapt to this form of regulation because our upbringing is one that takes pride in having plenty of children. I heard of a man who finds it difficult to feed his family, and they go about doing petty work with the kids in order to feed them.
My husband told me that one of the days while they went to the farm with the parents, the man came and asked that they allow them to farm for them for a certain amount. His mother agreed, and immediately the man asked to be given part of the agreed money so the wife could go prepare something for them, as they hadn't eaten for a while. Despite this, the man still gave birth to another child afterwards. As of then, he already had ten kids. There are different reasons why people want to have many children. First, it serves as a defense to some, and at other times it is so as to have more workforce for the family.With the present challenge in the economy of my dear country, one may be tempted to say that the government should quickly swing into action of legalizing the birth country law.
To me there is no just point to do this because in the long run it will bring more harm to the health of women in particular. What I foresee the government doing is making family planning compulsory for all women who are of reproductive age. On a personal note, I am not in any way in support of all these family planning models because I have heard of more failed stories than success stories. In fact, anything at all that affects the natural means in humans is not in any way good at all. Many women are in danger of cervical cancer because of the use of most of these pills, and they have failed to tell us.
How will a woman all of a sudden be diagnosed with cancer when in the whole of her family there is no history of that? My co-wife today is suffering from one illness to another because of a failed family planning. A friend of mine today really stayed a month without visiting the hospital, and all these started since she introduced that family planning method to her system. I can go on and on with this same story.What needs to be done by the government is to create an awareness of the importance of having a few depending on the family income and encourage both men and women that it is important to know that it is not only population increase they can contribute to the country.
Open their eyes to see other areas in which they need to engage meaningfully as members of a particular country.The effect of the regular on birth control in the long run will have many women who are suffering from one terminal illness to another. The defeat we have already as a result of too many chemicals in the soil and the drugs we take is already enough; as a result, we don't need more trouble in our system. The major advice i have for families is to adapt the use of circle beads, calendar way and learning to be self controled.
This is my entry to the first edition of week 164 contest. Thank you for reading.
