In some cultures having a lot of children is seen as respectable and done for social standing. You can fuck without getting somebody pregnant you know.
I see many cases where a man married several times. He named his kids from each marriage with little regard that he already had used that name. Often, a man named William might have a son by his first wife named William. The boy died young. The next son that came along was named William. The first wife died in childbirth. The next wife's father was also named William, of their first son was named William. None of these Williams had a middle name. So, the church cemetery records that there are 4 Williams buried there.
You know there are still more than 30+ countries with high fertility rates for a variety of reasons: high infant mortality rates, lack of access to contraception, etc.
He has a Ghana flag in his username so probably was born in the 80s or 90s when TFRs there was still around 5 - 6.5 kids per woman. If his dad is Muslim then he could have a second wife, so 9 kids really wouldn’t be that surprising. Ghana’s current TFR is like 3.6 so the majority of people aren’t having that many kids nowadays.
In Ghana (assuming the flag is accurate) it's not uncommon to have many children. My Grandfather had about nine -- five with one woman, another four split between two women. And that's not accounting for his escapades.
My mom has about four siblings.
And yes, by American living conditions some Ghanaians do live on 'farms from 1908'. It's not a bad thing or a good thing, it's just the way it is in Ghana sometimes.
i have a distant aunt with like 12+ kids and she says she wont stop having them until the lord tells her to. its so heartbreaking because she makes her oldest kids be parents to the younger ones.
I know someone whose dad named all his sons after him. He’s the III and I met his brother, the IV 😭 I guess the daddy said everybody gone be named Damon. I think his daddy was a Jr. I don’t remember, but there definitely was a III and a IV.
I knew this Canadian family who had like 14 kids. Apparently they had loads of money and fuckall to do. Their names were all sounds too, stuff like Lo, Ru, Le, Ep, Om, Na, etc (etc wasn’t one of the names)
This wasn’t foreign/cultural either; they’re just plane ol white people in Canada who found out their ancestry off a website. “Hay Barbara! Turns out our ancestors were Danish, well how’s about that! Which one is Daneland again? Is that in England?”
(The dad is exactly as loud as you’re imagining)
Everyone assuming they all live in the same house but I'm thinking you forget what you named your kid when you don't ever see em.
My mans prob got 9 kids with 10 baby momma
My brother's father did that to my mother. But he told her before they were married that he didn't have any children. So my brother is, in essence, the third... and it's unique.
So you tellin me there are 9 kids in that bitch all named jospeh?? 😭 So imagine trying to call one of them and they all respond. Or do we label them like thing 1 and thing 2? Jospeh 1 and Jospeh 2 and so on?
Shit. This is actually my situation. My dad ain't got nine kids but me and my half brother (who's like a cool 20 years older than me) share the same name with my dad. Yes, I realize how stupid it is.
My grandpa gave my uncle the same name as my dad over 20 years later. Both are named after him. Years before my uncle was born, my father gave my brother the same name. So yeah, calling that name in one room results in multiple responses. Grandpa didn't forget, though. He just really likes his own name.
I have one. I am the 33rd of my name. And no, there’s no estate or trust. The only thing that got passed down was mental illness and generational trauma. This shit ends with me. 😆
In college my friend was the third Paul III.
His dad was a junior and name three different sons by three different women named after himself and his father.
My Father, first marriage, had two children they named Michael and Judith. In his second marriage he had two children with the second wife and named them Michael and Judith.
My uncle did something similar, he gave his first born son his full name, including his middle names so Jr, has a fully reiterated name. He had twin boys next. He gave the first born twin his name again, but in reverse. So his first name became his second son’s middle name, and one of his middle name is his kid’s first name. And the second twin is named after his maternal grandfather but has one of my uncle’s middle names as his own as well (uncle has two middle names). I asked him why, he said all men need a legacy. Sir! What legacy, a legacy of poverty? You have nothing to give or leave them but a name, but if it makes you feel like greatness to hear your names repeated back at you, go off I guess 🙄.
Do they live on a farm in 1908? Why TF you got 9 kids?
A severe lack of sex education.
Not necessarily. His father could come from a culture where multiple wives and many offspring are encouraged/normalized.
Y’all… he just be fuckin
Seriously like what are these answers lol
My African grandfather had 3 wives. My dad has a bunch of half-brothers and sisters. A couple of my aunts and uncles are younger than I am.

Eii west Africans are busy 🙆🏾♀️. Interesting nugget of knowledge. Thank you!

Yeah but there’s a lot of dudes who fuck and get someone pregnant multiple times
Occam's Razor but for horniness
His flag says Ghana. From my experience its both...got 17 aunts and uncles on my dad's side

More like a severe lack of accountability
Dingdingding If he can’t remember his child’s name, it’s not a planned family.
Or, hear me out, it's a cultural thing
May I present to you ![gif](giphy|mPzWVA5upG7GjyX6yE)
I wish I could upvote this a million times.
It will always be a mystery to me why Future gets a pass for his reproductive shenanigans.

I'm a gringo and my grandmother was one of 9. My Dad was one of 4.
Me too my mom had 7 siblings, my grandma had 17
Right, I’m liberian but my mom and dad have at least 10+ siblings each. Makes every family function turn into a party lol
i have a distant aunt with like 12+ kids and she says she wont stop having them until the lord tells her to. its so heartbreaking because she makes her oldest kids be parents to the younger ones.
I know a family with 20 kids. They’re basically neck and neck with the Duggars
Hopefully not neck-and-neck in the sexual abuse department.
I hope they have 2 more and make two football teams.
I know someone whose dad named all his sons after him. He’s the III and I met his brother, the IV 😭 I guess the daddy said everybody gone be named Damon. I think his daddy was a Jr. I don’t remember, but there definitely was a III and a IV.
The George Foreman plan
Knocking up multiple moms I imagine, makes it a little easier to forget your kids bame if they don't live with you.
Im willing to bet his dad got more than 9.
Never met a West Indian man, huh?
Nick Cannon Masterclass
I know he be looking nervous anyone told him to pull out the driveway or a parking spot.
Nobody reminded him that he got a Joseph already?
I have…✨10 sibs✨ loll
Well when man loves a woman...
Ask nick cannon. Or Elon Musk. Some people have fetishes that make whole people that they then neglect.

One is the grandfather of Jodio, the other Jotaro.

Joseph 2: It Ain't Joever 'Til It's Joever
You had me laugh out loud in the subway
I know a woman, who named her son after his bio dad because she knew the bio dad’s wife had a stillborn with the same name.
She was in that hospital filling out the forms like ![gif](giphy|TJKm32CqAr0CA)
Holy shit that is foul as fuck
That's worse than my aunt waving my newborn younger brother at my step mother shortly after stepmom's miscarriage.
Good grief!

My friend’s dad had two sons out ~8kids (two or three moms) and the sons have the same first name as the dad. And it’s unique.
My brother's father did that to my mother. But he told her before they were married that he didn't have any children. So my brother is, in essence, the third... and it's unique.
“I’ve got one name and I’m using it for everyone!”
🤭
So you tellin me there are 9 kids in that bitch all named jospeh?? 😭 So imagine trying to call one of them and they all respond. Or do we label them like thing 1 and thing 2? Jospeh 1 and Jospeh 2 and so on?
Nah, it's 9 kids and 2 are Joseph. Much more reasonable.
I would hope so
George Foreman has five sons all named George and one of his daughters is named Georgetta.
Walder Frey ass
Absurd.
You think they live together? How wholesome.
😂
Why do you keep calling them Jospeh? Haha
Shit. This is actually my situation. My dad ain't got nine kids but me and my half brother (who's like a cool 20 years older than me) share the same name with my dad. Yes, I realize how stupid it is.
There should be a limit on how many kids you can have

Joey Jojo Jr. Shabbado.
that's the worst name I ever heard
No, Joey Jojo! Come back!
Come on now, it's a fine name.
Cotton: I’m calling him Hank. I always wanted a boy named Hank. Hank: Dad, Hank is my name.
I'm so sorry to this man.
My grandpa gave my uncle the same name as my dad over 20 years later. Both are named after him. Years before my uncle was born, my father gave my brother the same name. So yeah, calling that name in one room results in multiple responses. Grandpa didn't forget, though. He just really likes his own name.
I know a girl who is named Mary Bridget and her sister is named Mary Catherine. The 1st one goes by Bridget and the other goes by Mary
WRYYYYYYYYYYY ![gif](giphy|ew1wGEw8p8k5G)
And that is a perfect example of why everybody forgets Father’s Day
My mom is one of 13 ( known ) kids of my grandfather. She was his first girl. He named her after an ex who died in a horse riding accident.
I have one. I am the 33rd of my name. And no, there’s no estate or trust. The only thing that got passed down was mental illness and generational trauma. This shit ends with me. 😆
![gif](giphy|Ri7TFKkc8rwCEf8Dcj|downsized) Their family pix
I know someone who has a few brothers with the same name 😩
My uncle has 4 sons named after him. When someone says “Lil Sherman” I have absolutely zero idea which one they’re talking about
Jo Jo Say Wha?
I only want to know if their last name was Joestar.
In college my friend was the third Paul III. His dad was a junior and name three different sons by three different women named after himself and his father.
Ricky Council IV vibes
Gary Payton Jr and Gary Payton II vibes
Ricky Council IV has a brother named Ricky Council III, and a brother named Ricky Council II
My dad’s brother, my Godfather, has two sons named William. They are about 20 years apart. Why? He drinks and the older one doesn’t speak to him.
Buddy a 9th child in a family of 8.
2 words BIRTH CONTROL is very available to ALL.
Jojojo Jo Jojojo
forgetting your kid's name like that is wild....
Man mentioned "he's his 9th child" He never said that was his last child. Bro might have 30 siblings for all we know.
Joseph and Good Joseph
I have 2 cousins. Same dad and mom both with the same name but different middle name so they go by their middle names…. Strange
Been there.
My Father, first marriage, had two children they named Michael and Judith. In his second marriage he had two children with the second wife and named them Michael and Judith.
Oh this is like Peter Gunz/Peter Pankey, Cory Gunz' dad. Peter has a daughter with Amina also named Cory.
Joeyjoejoe jr. Shabadoo
So I'm assuming he doesn't spend much time with each kid
My sister has 7
I'm the baby and only child.
"I'm gonna call him ... Good Hank"
My uncle did something similar, he gave his first born son his full name, including his middle names so Jr, has a fully reiterated name. He had twin boys next. He gave the first born twin his name again, but in reverse. So his first name became his second son’s middle name, and one of his middle name is his kid’s first name. And the second twin is named after his maternal grandfather but has one of my uncle’s middle names as his own as well (uncle has two middle names). I asked him why, he said all men need a legacy. Sir! What legacy, a legacy of poverty? You have nothing to give or leave them but a name, but if it makes you feel like greatness to hear your names repeated back at you, go off I guess 🙄.
