A young lady identified as Kifo Mungu has caused great controversy on Twitter after talking about how husbands should appreciate their wives' birthing duties.

In a post on Wednesday, March 31, she said that giving birth to children should not be free and men ought to pay their women for the service.

She added that if a surrogate could be paid, then the same gesture should be extended to wives at home whose job has been seen to bear kids.

Many people disagreed with her, saying it totally does not make sense to pay a woman for having their children.

There were, however, a few, who supported her opinion as they asked the lady how much would be enough if they were to place their wives on constant remuneration.

"I could do this. I really should. Recommendation for remuneration, please."

@habeebyinka said:

"I actually thought of this, at least that will solve all custody issues completely."

@BlacckMoH said:

"We ain't even ask for no kid in the first place."

@Engeezxgraphics asked:

"Shey after giving birth, you will handover the children and disappear from their lives? Or what exactly are you being paid for?"

@Tp_drg said:

"And as surrogates, the wives would lose their rights to the children. You can’t eat your cake and have it."

@folleycoal said:

"You don too chop, belle don overfull. Na to talk nonsense remain."
