@ekjosh, this setting had been part and parcel of the African people. Sincerely, not as if we don't or not aware of any other means of having children, the Africans are ignorant of them.
Honestly, this has been a food for thought for me on several occasions. As per

“what if when I beget a family, will I be able to uplift that African mentality when childlessness wants to threaten my family?”

Till now, I can't find an answer to that. So I think everything, sorry most things in Africa is if you can't beat them, join them
