A mother stirred an online discourse after revealing the tremendous lengths she went to care for her child, while also warning others against having children without the resources to sustain them.
The lady explained that she sold at night markets in Iyana Paja, hawked things, washed leftover food, worked for a mineral firm, farmed in her community for low pay, and taught in a school for N5,000 per month to support her child.
“Parents, if you are ready to bring a child into this world but not ready to walk for them, stop having kids to make them suffer,” she said.
“Work is hard, it’s stressful, but if you are unwilling to put in the effort, don’t expect others to bear your responsibility. I have seen children go hungry because parents refuse to work for them, and it breaks my heart.”
She continued, stressing the mental and financial toll of parenting without preparation: “Children’s suffering is too much. Begging, begging, begging—this is not life. Go work. Go find a way to earn. Don’t bring children into this world to starve and suffer.”
Her comments received widespread approval on social media, with fans admiring her candour.
One commenter said, “I think one of the greatest crimes to humanity is bringing kids into the world when you cannot give them a soft landing.”
Another wrote, “She has spoken the truth—parents must be ready before having children.”
