        kudos to this lady for her bravery. The #BBCAfricaDebate on childrearing is extremely interesting and relevant.

        while I don't personally agree with this, it is nevertheless important to respect such points of view.

        I think it's ok. If someone decides on not having kids they don't owe anyone an explanation.

        a conscious decision not to have kids is ok. But nit in line with community expectations. There's need to justify

        Agreed. But communities shouldn't (& mustn't) be allowed to have a say. It's just creepy! Weird!
