Nigerian civil engineer turned broadcast journalist, Adedayo Oderinu, has sparked conversations on social media with his advice to married men: “Buy a car before having a second child.”

In a Facebook post on Friday, Oderinu shared his concerns about the struggles many women—some of them pregnant—face while trying to move around with their children in harsh weather conditions.

 "Dear Men, no vex for this thing wey I wan talk," he wrote.

"Before you get your woman pregnant the second time, abeg, try make you buy car to move the family around."

Acknowledging that many men see their first child as proof of fertility, he emphasized that before welcoming a second child, they should prioritize getting a car to ease transportation stress for their families.

Oderinu described how heartbreaking it is to see women struggling with multiple kids under the scorching sun, often while heavily pregnant.

"Any humane person will worry greatly about seeing women struggling with kids in the hot sun, trying to move around town. Some would be struggling with more than two kids while still pregnant. Very disturbing sight!"

While he acknowledged financial realities, his message emphasized planning and prioritizing family comfort over unnecessary luxury.

Oderinu’s statement has sparked mixed reactions online. Some agree with his viewpoint, stressing that having a car is essential for family mobility, while others argue that financial stability should come before any material possession.

Concluding his post, Oderinu urged men to show more empathy towards their partners.

"Let us give these 'willies' some lessons in empathy, e dakun."
