DO NOT BRING THEM INTO THE WORLD IF YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM

After taking the boy home on Saturday, I had gone to Martha and Blessing's (not real names though) home to meet the family.
Prior to that day, someone had said I give out 5k to 6 less privileged families. So I went to their house.

After I had discussed with their parents, I found out they actually had 8 children. Mum not working and currently stays at home. Stopped selling her wares after she became sick. But now she's better.

Dad resigned earlier from one missionary school job because there was no increment in his salary and currently works as a gateman.

They hardly eat at home. The parents looked malnourished, the kids all malnourished. The dad had said they eat majorly in the night since it's long.

I had discussed with their mother to find out if there's any petty business she can engage in , at least I had this hope funds can come for her, set her up. At least for the kids to have something to eat.

She said the only business she can do would need #100k -#150k to set up. Buying garri, yams , beans plantains in bulk and selling to people.

I suggested she sells food stuffs, fry akara and it's brethren, soya milk, okpa or even moi moi, at least money can come from these to feed the kids until enough money comes for the kind of business she wants. But no,she want to buy in bulk and do a the travelling.

I discovered either she's lazy or she doesn't want to help her kids. Since the husband works and waits for the end of the month to earn, why not do this for your kids..

Currently two these kids farms in the village and I don't even know where the proceeds go.

These kids are hungry and sick.
Which is better, have fewer kids you can train or have plenty that you can't feed? Let's be wise in bringing kids into the world. Biko.
Adults you want to suffer, go on. But please do not let the kids suffer to. They don't deserve this one bit.

Three of these kids parade the environment barefooted because their dad could not afford a pair of slippers.

P.S: the husband says his wife can sew clothes too.

Please dont bring innocent kids into the world if u dont want to take care of them
