FAMILY PLANNING A NECESSITY IN NIGERIAN FAMILY SPHERE

I know of a woman who has six children. The entire family live in a one room apartment.

This is a common scenario especially in Lagos where a large number of families live in or squat in one room apartments or shelters. The grieving thing about this is that these families are on the average comprised of eight members with all of them sharing one room.

Apart from the health implications, my concern is the number of children these people have that they cannot afford to take care of. So many of them resort to sharing them out as house helps to several other families.

Why not breed the number you can take care of?
Family planning options are available and family planning advice can be gotten in almost any hospital especially government hospitals.

Many of the methods are cheap and affordable. So instead of increasing overhead and living costs, why don't they embrace a family planning option today?
The government should also in their bid to eradicate poverty sensitize these citizens on the importance of having a manageable size of family.

How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
