How the Health Sector has bred to the economic collapse.

We all know all sectors have their activity and their role to play towards attaining a certain goal and aim but after deep thought and study, I was shocked at the fact that the health organization as a whole is not helping in orientating their patients about family planning. What is family planning? When a couple agrees to allow child spacing for a particular or lengthy period to avoid overcrowded and inadequate nourishment for their kids. A Yoruba adage interprets in English that it is God that gives children and it is the same God that would take care of the child, 😂 sounds funny to me when I hear them say this but the fact remains, most families know little or less about this process and it is causing a lot of malnourished under-educated and overpopulated batches of kids roaming the streets. The country is messed up already with insecurity, lack of a quantitative educational sector, lack of infrastructure, low production rate, high poverty rate, and unemployment, This has been the case from Adam but this can be reduced on both levels from the health sector if they are doing their jobs appropriately in making sure to advise and encourage young couples about the benefits of family planning. Why is family planning so important? If in a family there are two children barely surviving on the available 50 thousand naira salary their father is collecting, adding another child would throw them into abject poverty, in this case, the first child could be forced to start fending for him or herself either by crook or by the hook. No standard education was provided in the first place because it could not be provided for in the first instance, now he or she needs to survive when there is little or no attention, leaving them vulnerable to their community danger and choices. This could have been avoided if the nurses and doctors had played their role hitherto, let there be a massive movement on the need for this because this would help in shaping a lot of lives and families even the society as a whole. Most Households are living in a room apartment with 5 children or even more, this is unfair to the children and their mental health, which can pose more harm to their future. In this vein, they get easily attracted and lured to the fantasies of life and they definitely would want to taste it because they have not tasted it before, it then pushes them to be thugs by causing a nuisance to their society. Families should please join forces with their health practitioners and vice-versal, Charity they say begins at home. It is what you breed that later holds important positions in today's society, if the foundation is weak it affects the whole system. Let the change for a better Nigeria start from our narrative regarding reducing excessive childbirth and by putting family planning into action.
