good for your nigerian friend. the point then should be to stress good parenting, and part of good parenting is knowing the number of children you can devote adequate attention and financial resources to.

it would be extremely bad parenting for example for an unemployed father of nine to sire another child on the basis that Allah will give the rizq IMO.
