Birth Control And Culture by Samishiba: 5:20am On Jul 10, 2021
I saw a documentary about Makoko slums. The documentary shows Makoko hospital. He shows a mother who gave birth the fifth son.
The reporter ask for her " why do you have a lot of children if you're poor?". The asnwer is a very disturbing for me" God gave me the children and i cannot decide when the children will come". The asnwer is a cultural thing? In Nigeria don't exist free birth control? Or these people are aware of the existence of birth control? Or is a cultural problem?

I am really pleased that you found this interesting and have shared with us.

But yes, as far as I know, there is no free birth control. Only a handful of organisations offer such services and their reach are usually very localized and restricted.

People on health insurance may be able to access the birth control they need, but this assumes that the person is enlightened enough to know that they need health insurance and can afford it.

Majority of Nigerias population are intellectually and/or financially challenged. The government is so weak it can't provide for them.

Thank you for the asnwer. In my country we have free birth control and free condoms for the population. That is so sad and disgusting because Nigeria is one of most richest African countries and the population don't have free birth control. Because corrupt African politicians don't care
