Nigerian social media commentator and educationist Reno Omokri has spoken kicked against the African believe that children bring blessings.
According to him, the belief has caused over population in poor African countries because most people believe your children can bring you luck and change your status.
He revealed that children rather bring children and blessings bring children and if you are poor and lazy when bringing forth more kids, they will also be poor – no blessings.
“…The belief that children bring blessings has led to MASSIVE overpopulation in poor nations. Children don’t bring blessings. Rather, blessings bring children. You work hard and smart, and God blesses you, then you use the blessing to start a family….” he writes.
