Joshuadon: It been observed that virtually all nigerian love and cherish to have male child to females ones,the reason for that am still searching cus children are precious gift from God...please share your own opinion here.... Because a male child is believed to stay and carry on with the generation of the particular family,lineage or generation. But a female child will marry and go to their husband's house. 25 Likes |

Ask our ancestors. But I think this preference for male children is what makes many females feel that they're inferior and hence all this attempt on the part of the females to prove men wrong. That is what brought this idea of 'what a man can do a woman can do better' But I personally think that both males and females are important, it's just that we have different graces for different things. Question: If a man's ancestors had only given birth to males how would he have been born? 13 Likes |

They want a male child to carry the family name.Also they see it as a pride to have more sons.You see a man whose wife just had a boy reveal the sex with pride.Some who had girls just simply tell u their wife had a baby.Africans na wa. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Yeah that's what they say now, but wait until they are old and need someone to look after them. My grandma had 7 children total....4 boys and 3 girls (her husband passed away a long time ago). Guess who's taking care of my grandma...the girls! The boys just can't be bothered. They just want to throw money at the situation and hope that someone else gets done. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Of cos yes! The African society gives a difference status to a male child than a female. Bt westernizatn has help a little to cushion d effect of dis belief. Bt truth be said,na person wen see pikin dey select. Tell a barren couple for 15yrs if they wld take a boy or gal child,if they will nt tel u anyone as long it's a child 4 Likes |

Re: Why Do Nigeria Men Prefer Male Child To Female Child by Fatdon(m): 6:21am On Jul 03, 2014 |
This desire for a male child has resulted in husbands pressuring their wives to have more children, in some cases putting the health of the women in danger. When this fails to produce the desired results, men will resort to polygamy in the hope that the other women will give them the son they need. An average Nigerian does anything to have a male child, who will carry on the family name in this patriachal society. Some female children also retain their family name, even in marriage, to preserve their father’s name. 2 Likes 1 Share

Its easier to control male children at thier adolescence age than female children. Left to me, i would prefer to have boys in a higher number than girls. (ka Chineke mezie okwu) 2 Likes 1 Share |
