Was in a bus 2day and i saw this pregnant woman, with a couple of kids like 3 of them with 1 on her back. They were trying to lap on a

sit. With the help of the other passengers we were able to take the kids 1 by 1 cuz it was obvious they wouldn’t fit on a single sit.


My question is why do people have more kids than they can cater for? Nigerians complain of poverty and still give birth to a lot of

children.

Scratch 1,2,3,4 off your list. They don't universally apply.

the reason why number5 doesnt apply universally is that some parents that know about family planning say CHILDREN ARE GODs GIFT SO WHY SHOULD THEY STOP.they prefer 2 keep havin children until d doctor warns d woman that her next labour may take her life.

Yea they are reasons, but they aren't important ones. Your right 5 isn't universal, I left it there cause there is a correlation between poverty and illiteracy.
