A lady has sparked widespread debate on social media after revealing that she has blocked both her brother and his wife, who is currently six months pregnant with twins, adding to an already growing family.

She confirmed that she has blocked both her brother and his wife due to the rapid succession of pregnancies and the overwhelming circumstances she feels it may create.
“My brother’s wife is 6 months pregnant with twins and they have a 7 months and 2 weeks old. I have blocked them both,” she wrote, adding fuel to the discussion on social media.
The post quickly garnered reactions from users who either sympathised with her perspective, made jokes, or questioned the situation.

Luna commented: “Even Asap and Rihanna aren’t moving this way. I completely understand why you had to block them for your peace. Sometimes self-care is necessary.”
Fixin joked: “They need to separate both of them before they birth a whole football team 😂. Seriously, that’s a lot of kids in such a short span.”
Muhibbah said: “6 months pregnant with a sibling of 7 months 2 weeks old? Yeah, that must be a mistake. Nature is moving too fast here!”
Bishop added: “Justice for your brother. But we all get tired of the drama. After the kids grow, they are assets. I prefer they get the kids at short spacing and then spend the rest of my time bringing them up.”
Chris Chiedu wrote: “Omo, na back-to-back pregnancy be this! 😂 But blocking them? That one choke. You could just mute the updates if it’s too loud 😅. No be their fault say blessings full ground like this.”
Storyteller remarked: “Twins in 6 months and another baby already 7 months old? This seems less like a miracle of nature and more like a system malfunction. Just stay blocked; you’ll be safer that way.”
Social media users also debated the broader implications of the situation, discussing topics such as family boundaries, the responsibilities of parents with closely spaced children, and how to maintain personal space amidst overwhelming family news. Some users suggested that Lolochichy’s decision to block her brother and his wife may be a necessary measure for her mental peace and emotional wellbeing, while others found humor in the seemingly impossible timeline of the pregnancies.
Despite the jokes and comments, Lolochichy’s post has opened up conversations about how individuals manage sudden or continuous family responsibilities, the pressures of multiple back-to-back pregnancies, and the sometimes awkward dynamics of online sharing of personal family matters. Many concluded that her decision to block the couple could be viewed as an attempt to preserve her own peace while navigating a complex family scenario.
