An Ugandan-based businessman and author, Aita Joel, has undergone a vasectomy after giving birth to five children.
He took to his Twitter page, @aitaljoel, to share photos of himself during the surgery.
In the post, the entrepreneur said he took the decision so he can focus on giving his five children a quality life.
The businessman, who describes himself as chairman at Muni University in Uganda, also said he can only manage five children, hence his resolve to adopt birth control.
He tweeted, “Vasectomy. After the birth of kid 5, I decided to end the journey and concentrate on giving them a quality life. At times the man has to take responsibility for birth control and besides a good quality of life for the children can only be given to a number you can manage. It’s simple,” he wrote.
“If you want real good education for your children, you have to pay for a very good school. Definitely when a primary school charges you over 20m per term per kid.
“Then you need to have a number you can manage. In my case, I can manage five. Someone else can manage ten. Another less.”
Vasectomy is a medical procedure to cut the tubes carrying a man’s sperm out of the body. It does not allow a man’s sperm enters the urethra and thereby prevents fertilization of a female through sexual intercourse.
