Our parents and grand parents had as many as seven children, some even ten or more but things have kinda changed now. So in this day and age what's the ideal number of children couples should have, no matter how rich or poor they are - just the average?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. As many children as they can afford ?

It depends on the amount of cold nights they have
4 or five is fine!
The ideal number whether you are rich or poor should be four, as for me, I don't want more than three.
i think 1-4 is a decent range

D... As lng as dey can tk care of d children witout askin 4 financial help.
2 if you want to push it 3. You can afford to feed 10 kids today doesn't mean you will afford them tomorrow
Na ''4'' nowadays population for naija go soon clock #300'000000. Lol!

As many as they can afford - that is also factoring future expenses and their current and expected investments.
However, 2 children sounds ideal to me.
Four
@Galore
Its depends...different style for different folks
But as for me I will go with 4 ...preferably 2girls nd two boys
Maximum should be 4 while minimum 2
2
2
Not more than three kids..abeg 3 is enough
Just a question I was asking myself this minute. Not just for the financial means of taking care of them, labour was tough that it scares me of having more. I have just 1 tho.
2
2 issokay for me..ve had 1 and am hoping for 1more and wish for better upbringing which i wasn't privileged in my days as a kid!
I think two is ideal. It creates the right balance between happiness(oh i have children) and stress(emotional/financial). Anything more than two would depend on how financially capable you are, how the kids turn out etc.
For me it's three, two girls one boy!
I will say three kids
3 is vry ok,rich or poor.
D.. As many as u can "afford"in quote Afford"...but 9ja men if the wife hasnt givn them a boy yet they can continue till d 7th child *eyes rolling*
Three children is jx d best,I have two boys now if God bless me with one girl I will be d happiest person on earth!
As many as they can afford biko..adenuga can have 50 and they will neva lack..see indimi fam..i ave lost count of how many daughters dat old man get lool
Between 3
Between 2 and 4
4 children will be ohk..abi u wan born a whole community ni.four is ohk 4 me oo
4 is really ideal. It's neither too much or too small.
4 kids is cool....
The reason why lots of piple hav dozen of kids is their quest for a particular sex of child.a lot of men and women want a male child due to some reasons..women want a male child for next of kin while men want a male child who can possiblely make their names last when there are gon. For me, I and my hubby will hav 3kids which ever God bless us wit!
Yaaay! 1st 2 comment
Minimum of two... Maximum of 4 for me , jus incase twins are involved!....... Its not about how many u can afford o.... I'm hoping to have two kids ,prayin to God for a boy n a gal.... *smiles*

Is dere anyfing like ideal number of kids?? Only couple can decide dat. You can av as many as U̶̲̥̅̊ so desire nd can CATER FOR. Buh don't pass beyond ur boundary! Don't brings kids you can't cater for into d world.
I think C is the best.
As for me Imma go for 4,so the boy will av a brother to play with and the girl a sister to play with.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
2 is ok..highest should be 33
B or D
As many children as they can afford ooo...abi now....if u re poor just manage 1 or 2..no do pass urself
Max 3,if they aren't financially alright 0,bringing those poor children to suffer,I hate those ppl then the kids end up selling Bread and sachet water or begging for money on the street.If u can't afford to take care of them ,DON'T HAVE THEM,ur husband can't bring home money for food but he can come and ask u for sex,USELESS MAN and stupid woman.
3 all d way
love this question, dis is d best question of the day, thumbs up linda, in the stage we are now, the economy system in our country is nothing 2 write home about, food, payment of schoolfees, shelter, and upbringin of kids is very expensive, in my own opinion i will consider hvin 3 kids. and gve dem d best of the best. dan bringin 7 2 10 kids to the world to suffer.
i want seven and i pray for quadruplets AMEN. mummy dan
Hmmm! I tink 2kids are jst ok 4 couples! Too many kids brings headache esp if dose kids are stubborn but if d family re jst 4, d parents nd jst 2kids...dey wil be very happy nd contented even if dey re not rich! I rest my case...AmyHottie
3 is ok
four children is ok
2.Ŋ☹ mata aw things α̲̅яε̲ whether rich or poor.
2 kids ideally if you live abroad. More kids if you can afford to look after them.
At least three children is ok
2
Atleas 3 children are ok 4 either rich or poor
2/3 please
My parent had three not minding the sex and I think three is just the perfect number!
3 is ok cos N̶̲̥̅̊☺ one knows 2moro buh we don't pray Fø̲̣̣я̅ bad thing o
Having 2kids is jst very ok! Cos wen tins get bad in d family..I mean financial crisis, u cud be able 2cater 4dose kids witout much stress but if dey plenty...hmmmm! Dats wen d man of d house gets heart attack or high bp nd den dies living d poor kids nd dia mum 2suffer! Bsides d economic condition of our country is very bad nw, so I tink couples shud tink wisely oo! Not one year one block dat I see in some mothers these days....AmyHottie says so....
2 is okay depending on ur financial status
ℓ̊ want 2 children,a boy Ãήϑ girl.don't know Ђδω many children M̶̲̅γ̲̣̣̥ husband will like †☺ have.

i want four, just as my parents had
D WORD IS TO MULPIPLY SO 3 IS OK TO REPLACE URSELF AND A SPARE.
Me too
4,God willing.
2, I WANT 2 GIRLS
4 is d ideal numba,bt 4 me 2 is okay!SHIKENA
3 kids is okay,maybe twice then 4
M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ love children very much. 4 is ok
There is no ideal number. That is between the couple, they should just be sure that they can take care of all of them and give them the best.
lindyway my said he wants 4, but at the last gap the wife port triplet. for me ohhh 2 is kin of better
Linda me I have 4 kids but if I had my way would have had just 1. Most times its the guys that says how many kids they want. Cos for me it was a serious issue before we married. We later settled for 3,but baba God come give us twins
4 is ideal 2 guys 2 ladies.
2 is okay,dat d best no of kids to av
Have as many as u can cater 4,De joy begins when dey are all glown nd doing well..Dey shall surround ur table
3 is okay and give them the best.
hmmmm, i would say an ideal number should be 2 kids. My husband wants 2(1 girl and 1 boy) but i want 4 kids (2 boys and 2 girls) i think i`m ready to settle for 3 and maybe adopt 1 making 4.....smilezzzz
3 is just ideal
oh pls why don't we over populate the world...... btw 1 and 3 should be good for any couple any more is just an unhealthy! It is important children are raised and taken care of fully having 7 or more and I don't care if u are a billionaire is just obscene. Taking care of children doesn't just mean money but being there for them emotionally and in all ways possible........we live in a society where the feeling is well as long as u can send them t sch and cater (money wise) for kids its ok.... well its not!
2 will do
Linda 5 is ok for me, 3boys 2girls
4
3 is okay for me
afford ke! children na for sell
I KNOW A MAN WHO HAS 12 KIDS WITH ONE WIFE. EVERY YEAR HIS WIFE GET PREGNANT, ANOTHER BABY IS DUE THIS DECEMBER,....THAT IS NUMBER 13. OOOOH, HE ALSO HAS 2 OTHER KIDS BEFORE HE GOT MARRIED TO HIS CURRENT WIFE.....SO IN TOTAL, HE HAS 14 KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY.
I THINK AN IDEAL AMOUNT SHOULD BE 2 OR 3
4 kids, 2boys n 2girls :)
Linda, as for me, only 2 children oo....a boy n a girl.weda rich or poor(but God forbid poverty)....but as I'm growin older n all my children av left home prolly to university or boarders in secondary skul, I'll consider avin one more
2 IS OK FOR ME....NO MATTER CONDITION
I Think 4 is very much ideal for me
I agree wit u . De less number of kids u av, de more de quality of trainin u 'll giv dem.
JUST 2
My sister always says that an ideal family in the modern age should be able to fit a regular 5 sitter car....therefore 2 or 3 kids should be fine
As many as they can, as far as I'm concerned no no. Is too mch, jst ask 4 god to bless them..we r 14 frm ma mum.. Nd all blessed..
I wil lov τ̅☺ hv 4, two boys α̲̅ŋϑ two gals.by Gods grace

4 kids is ok by me.

4 kids is ok by me
3
Linda dis is my 1st time of commenting..bera post ma comment
Jst 2
My parents just had two of us nd I found it so boring nd wish we were like 4 or 5 but I told myself I was goin to hve a large family nd now I hve two nd still Counting.lol
Ehhh...3 don do now four na almost oversabi sef(ma opinion oo)
as many they can afford
4
For me I Think 3 is Ok, A Boy nd two Gals,
3........2grls and 1boy
3kids for me o.if its 4den it will b a mistake lolz
At least 4 to me
2 is ok either boy or girl.
2 to 4 is ok
2 kids minimum.....4kids max....... Evryone has deir different number tho... My brother said 6 minimum......chai......lol....
2 please! in other to give them the best,if you can afford more,then adopt or help train less priviledged kids
2 is gud a boy and a girl.
At last 4
Minimum of 2, Maximum of 3 is okay for a couple this era.
I Have 3 adorable handful kids but i think anything more than 4 is migraine
2 jor, highest 3! the 3rd one gan must battle to make it, as in after every means of keeping it back must failed ni.
4 maximum minimum 2
Have the Numer of children you can cater for... It's dat simple. My tailor had 3 kids. 2 girls and a boy then decided she wants another boy which happened to be twins. A boy and a girl.... She cld hardly send d previous 3 to school and now there are 5 of them. None of them attends school anymore and she's always looking for some1 to pay their fees or buy them food stuff. I have a child and I plan on having 1 more. I could afford to tk care of more bt there's a level of luxury and achievements I plan on having for my kids and I ( holidays, education etc) and having more than
2 kids wnt achieve that. In summary, cut your coat according to your size.
2 pere!! max 3
Sis jane,who ask 4 story na,chei...deres such an option as D.u shuld av just sed dat.
At least 4
Two kids should do
Two would do for me but all depends on the couple. Different strokes for different folks.
7-10 kids is very ok!!!!
For me, 3 kids makes. A lot of sense. But I want 4 and hubby doesn't mind! But a lot of people are okay with 2 these days. Makes sense too.
I want 6!! Twins,triplets,and one single!! My dad has over 20 kids!! *ONYX GODWIN*
Just 4,two boys two girls
Between 2- 4 children. Anything above this number is never ♍y wish.
Anything beyond 4 is too much no matter your financial capacity. The world is too populated already. Couples need to be principled enough not to have more than 4 kids. Some Igbo couples tend to keep giving birth all cause they are looking for a male child. My bestie comes from a family of 8, they are all girls except the last child who is a boy. P.S: I'm Igbo
2 feels ideal sha buh I want 4.
as much as you can train lol,2 or 3 is okay.
As many children as dey can afford & cater for.
2 kids very ok...
four
Atmost 4 is cool
o well my parents had 7 and they r taking proper care of us. We go to the best skuls, proper clothing feedin and we aint wayward, we r unbelievebly happy. Its so fun to have a large family
2
3 kids is the best
I want 45 if only 1 woman can give me 45 kids. but since she can't i will stick to 3....
3 kids is the best
I want 2 cus me and my babe has agreed.
i will go 4 for d rich an 2 for the poor. cause d more kids d poor has d more problem 4 naija.
It depends on what d couples want.they can have as many as they want as long as they can take care of dem but me want 4....includin twins.
4 will do.
I want 2 children but 3 children is not bad at all.... Vikenx Virus.
Well, as many as the Good Lord provides. But, from the 'economy' view point, 2 'd be just fine.
AS 4 me,na 3 girls 1 boy...lyk d Kardashians
I want 2 dozen!
3 is just so ideal for me.
I think 4 is cool! 2boys 2gurls..
Two is ideal. Its easy to gv dem de best educationally etc. Wntd two, but de turnd out all girls. My hubby is a typical ibo man who wants a boy, so am on de third pregnancy. I wish one of de two ws a boy, but God knws best.
Ntn like ideal in this issue. Give birth to those you can bring up properly, nt financial wise alone here
The ideal no depends on the couple,for me 3 is a perfect number.
DON'T BRING A NUMBER YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OFF, ONE OF MY RELATIVES HAS 19, NOW HE IS WORRYING ME TO HELP HIM RAISE THEM.
2. There should be a law that states that if a family does not meet an income threshold, they shouldd only be allowed 2 children. Atimes, it breaks my heart when I see small children suffering on the road. I often ask myself why people bring children into the world to suffer, which I find utterly unfair.
Huh? Like r u serious, Linda? What's this? Mtcheew
Well I want 3, but my hubby wants 4. So d average that I've heard people say is 4.
2 then you can really afford give your kids the best and also have a life!
Pumpkin
21.....
D idea number is 4 two girls and two boys so no ones cheats each other between d couple
