My mother's father divorced when I was a toddler, in mother's arms.
And I was raised by step grandparents.
My memory is still sharp enough to remember that sad time.
Mother's father already has another partner as well as another child..
My life is tossing and turning without direction
Jealous of my friends and the happiness of a small child, invites the sadness back..
Father and mother, I just need your love, like my friend.
So far, I've never gotten it.
Now my father is gone forever, look at your son, father, now I am an adult and can find food for myself without your love.
Without you I can be independent, now my father has gone forever back to God's side.
But hatred for you makes me furious and I want to destroy everything around me.

And now, from the experience above, I always try to avoid divorce because it will affect the child's mentality.

Marriage is something you need to know before you get to it and you need to understand that your life will never be the same when you will marry the girl you love because when that happens, you gonna do everything to make her happy and comfortable. You just need to consider looking for the right spouse before thinking about marriage and you need to learn what are the criteria to become the right wife for your children. Because if you marry randomly without taking any considerations to do the tips above, then you are risking your marriage and your children's future because you might marry the wrong Man or Woman who will not care about you or your children or maybe they are abusive and you only found that out when you already married.

Could also be that older men manipulate the younger girls & in Africa there is a high number of rapes. It’s not always the case that you can try & blame young pregnancies on the girls.

Often there is a bad man behind this kind of situation.

Also in Africa contraception & birth control is not always as widely used like in First World countries.

Sincerely I don't really think the first two reasons you stated is why young girls get pregnant this days,
I might just want to consider the last reason and and speak about it (Lack of good parents)
Good parenting to me should not be holding your female child from going out, locking her in the room and preventing her from friends, as a parent please create a relationship with your daughter so she can be able to tell you everything at every moments, mostly for the mothers, let your daughters see you as a friend that she can tell anything at any given time,be open to your daughters always and give them the acknowledgement that you are always ready to listen to their complains in life and to give a motherly advice..

Teach your daughters everything you know about sex,so she can be cautious and have a clear knowledge about it, also tell her what she needs to know about ovulation period and otherwise,

And the girl that they give birth at age of 14 to 15 years it is raining that the girl rock educational background and the secondary the girl might also like country name from the parents so these are the two things that is involved because someone who is educated can not give birth at the age of 14 to 50 years because earlier pregnancy brings the ambition of girls than

We live in a society that if you grow older and don't have a child people will complain that you're barren as a woman and if you have a child at a younger age they'll say so many things even condemning the pregnancy. So am going to ask, how old is too early to have a child?  To me life is all about choice, as a mother, you can live a very crazy life and the daughter won't follow your footsteps, same thing as a mother who lived a calm and respectful live but the daughter goes crazy, so who's to blame here?


Sometimes those things mentioned above might not be the cause of early child birth like you say OP. The school a child attends might boost out some negative behavior in her especially by peer groups, things happens in school that changes a child that the parents have no idea of and a child's brain comprehend the negative behavior very fast, so I don't really think lack of education is responsible.

The poor background has the good and bad side of it, depending on how the individual manage to respond to the situation at hand, help can come from any angle and some might take advantage of the issue at hand, convince the child and sleep with her.

Parents always have 95% of child up bringing while the remaining 5% can come from the society, like if a parent don't have time with his/her child it becomes difficult for the child to Know her left from her right. In this case I believe all parents need to engage their child in sex education and other positive things of life, because is better to get those knowledge from you as a parent than getting it outside, if a child does get all these info outside, then it will be disastrous.

I wanted to point out that when I saw this post and made my first comment yesterday,  but the fact that it is politics and society section ops may be right to have posted it here.
-But since this post is directed to the Nigerian situation as a case study, I am sure the thread will get more attention if it moved to Nigeria, the local board.

A very dark topic, but this is indeed the reality that is happening in underdeveloped countries and if you have read articles or seen on YouTube, one of them is Burundi. Small country with a high poverty rate.

When we talk about climate change and extreme weather, we cannot avoid it. But for some developed countries there must be a solution for that, for example gardening with the help of technology that can manipulate the weather.

But the problem is, how can these poor countries find solutions for themselves? I think the most appropriate step is for developed countries or rich countries to provide assistance to poor countries. Because poor countries have almost no way to solve their hunger problem because the economic circulation there is very limited, the exchange rate is low, and the wages of workers are also low.
