POOR PEOPLE SHOULDN'T GIVE BIRTH!! 👩‍❤️‍👨💔🤰
<p>Good afternoon ma...( looks in search).</p><p>It was Tomiwa, a 10 year old, looking malnourished boy.</p><p>    How are you doing??</p><p>( silence..........) </p><p>   Goes ahead to ask........ Have you eaten today??</p><p>Yes, I ate in the morning.</p><p>What about this afternoon??</p><p>      (It was past 3pm already) </p><p>I don't eat in the afternoon ma....</p><p>    My heart sank 💔.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/file_000000002c8c61f49ca0636b3795cd45_1.png"/><br/></p><p>( BASED ON A TRUE LIFE STORY) .</p><p><br/></p><p>What do you mean you don't eat in the afternoon?? </p><p><br/></p><p>Personally if I eat in the morning, in 2 hrs time, my tummy reminds me to put something little in again. Just little. And there's someone that skips a whole afternoon!. A child !!! .💔.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>People don't like to hear the truth when it slaps, but here is one, if you are poor, broke and barely surviving, why are you having kids?.</p><p>You don't have a stable income, you barely survive to eat a 3 square meal, and somehow you bringing that child into chaos is love??. </p><p><br/></p><p>  Well that's not love, that's selfishness wrapped around sentiments!. </p><p><br/></p><p>Now let me tell you something about POVERTY! ( speaks in beautified rage).</p><p>Poverty isn't just about lack of money. It's lack of opportunity, access, protection and peace of mind.</p><p>A child born into poverty isn't just dealing with hunger. They are battling with poor education, poor health care, low self esteem, misplaced priorities, constant stress and a future that they didn't choose.</p><p><br/></p><p>How would you feel if I give you plantains and you don't like plantains?? Oooou you get now right? </p><p>It would be selfish of me to even compare poverty to plantain, because poverty is nothing sweet to plantains. But let's use that illustration for now.</p><p> They didn't request to be born into your "we go manage life".</p><p><br/></p><p>Let's be honest, children cost a lot and these things don't come by prayer or vibes.</p><p>And no ! Love does not pay bills. Hope is not currency either! </p><p>      </p><p>It's how poor people tend to bear children the most for me.</p><p>A meme says " Nobody fertile pass poor man" 😂.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's always the poor man that births many. Why??</p><p><br/></p><p>It's funny how many people know they are not ready, but due to societal pressure and traditions, they go ahead anyway.</p><p>And then they raise angry and deprived children who grow up, thinking the world is wicked, when in reality their parents weren't just ready.</p><p><br/></p><p>And no this isn't about shaming the poor. It's about calling out the dangerous lie that  "children are blessings from God, no matter what". </p><p>There's nothing wrong in waiting. There's nothing wrong in accepting that you are not ready and capable of fending for the needs of a child yet.</p><p><br/></p><p>I have seen hungry kids and struggling children, and I recommend having sex for fun, not procreation!!.</p><p><br/></p><p>People should normalize getting married to the love of their lives.</p><p>Grinding together first, before birthing. </p><p>And if you insist on birthing, it shouldn't be more than one.</p><p><br/></p><p>Have sex for the fun of it please! </p><p>Sex will forever be great, even without kids, right? </p><p>Nobody deserves to come into a life of wretchedness without their permission.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let's stop turning poverty into poetry.</p><p>Children deserve more than survival. They deserve stability.</p><p>     "DON'T TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE                                  THEIR LIVES"</p><p>           <span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'>No I will tell you please!!</span></p><p><br/></p><p>Have a nice day 🌝 ❤️.</p>
