"I was once at the talking stage with someone, she wanted 5 kids, my first mental calculation was family of 8 travelling on @qatarairways from Australia to the US, my maths did not add up. I thought she was joking but she was serious, I knew there was no way here.”

He also shared a screenshot of today's ticket price for a family of eight for summer, which amounted to N13 million.

He explained that he assumed two of their kids would be teenagers and would pay adult fees.

His tweet went viral and attracted many reactions from other users. Some agreed with his decision and said they also had a limit on the number of kids they wanted.

Others joked that he should have considered cheaper airlines or destinations.
