You people should stop acting or trying to make yourself feel. The truth of the whole issue is that male child is preferred simple, not because they are superior but to continue with family lineage. It's as easy as that in all culture.

I'm sorry if you have no male child, but don't try to play down the importance just to justify your misfortune. It's your type that messed up the society due to your own selfish reasons.

bright007:
You have forgotten that å man goes out of his family to marry å woman from another and å woman is married out of her family into his husband family.
What becomes of the only daughters of the rich men u mentioned above when they die and their daughters gets married?Do u expect them to be the head of their family because of inherited riches?
You seem to have forgotten that when å man marries å woman and pays her bride price,she becomes his property.He owns d woman and everything that belongs to her.

You Nigerian women are your own worst enemies. No wonder many of your men punch and beat the crap out of you people with the type of mentality you exhibit in this post of yours. So in Nigeria, because a man married and paid a woman's bride price, she becomes his property? So there are still Nigerian women who think like you in 2012? Anyways, you are a product of your Nigerian society and environment. Who am I to object to your sick and demented way of reasoning if that is all you have been taught by your parents and the chuvinist Nigerian society you were brought up.

korrej: I jst wan ask question o. Imagine say U marry and no born. U kan make up ur mind say U wan adopt. Which gender U go adopt? Bet me even the ones shouting here, will be the ones to go for the male gender.

Male ofcourse.... Who does not need a voltron at home... Have u heard of Ben10?

anonymous6:

You are right with the first part but about the male staying in the home, well when it comes to surname it is true but staying literally remembering about their own family and etc, well it is the reverse. It is females that tend to remember their parents and take care of their needs 24/7, the males once their are with a woman forget about their own family and pay attention to their wife, it is the wife that takes it upon themselves to remind their husbands of taking care of their own husbands family. I have seen many examples of that, I am not saying all men are like that but some are.

Please, who is responsible for men Forgetting their family? is it not the female. who cries more when their is no Male child ate home? women...

htajz: the reason can be seen on this thread , we loose our daughters when they marry to her husbands family (even if she keeps participating in her fathers family affairs, her children wont neither will her grand children cus they have a role to play in their own fathers house)also women are just too emotional and sensitive to handle certain things.

Spotted, simply put it, the man inherit whatever a woman brought to his home, the children, her family name, and generations to come... women are needed to keep the standard, cos its like describling a production line, the machinery is needed for the Brand to continue... sorry for the analogy but that is the truth... For this world to continue, we need female while the male is needed for production and management of asset.

And what make you right either, so because you have your own idiology, others are stupid about theirs. So what makes your own superior? Every society has a norm to which they conform to, if Your western life style is ok for you, why do you have to castigate others view... And am sure you have a Nigerian linage; so you call ur ancestors Chuvinist? ok, continue your so called superior ideology and let see how far you can go.

Am not here to counter your view, but let be civil enough to respect others opinion and ideology; at least western civilization which you uphold says that.

Excuse you but men are more responsible for asking for male children then females, so don't blame it only on females. Throughout history men have always pressured women for male children so don't preach that to me(if it wasn't for science men will still be blaming women for determining the sex of a child). Men chose to forget their families, and most of the time women have no part of it

I can see women are all looking at it from one perspective.

How many of you married African women bear your father's name?

My dad was a single son. All his sisters took their husband's name. I am also a single son and my married sisters have also taken their husband's names. With time, only I and my male child/ren will bear our family name.

If not for my dad, the hereditary titles in my family for centuries would have gone extinct. As far as most women are concerned, anything not western is not worth preserving.

Many British earls and ducal families are now extinct for lack of male heirs.

Of course women do not bear the burden of family heritage, so they can marry and go away and not give a danm about their birth family.

Nightshift: Male child is very special in weak cultures , and Nigerian cultures are very weak.

Most Nigerian cultures are not only weak but daft

@Post

There is nothing particularly special about a male child. The thing is, in patriarch societies like Nigeria, male children are preferred because they carry on the family name. Nigerian women are only wishing for male children because they know their marraige will sadly hit the rocks if they don't birth a male child due to the chuvinist Nigerian culture and society they have found themselves in. Even though men biologically determine the gender of a child, in chuvinist countries like Nigeria, the women are blamed if they keep birthing females.

I just think the whole idea of seeing male kids as more special than female kids is stupid. Especially considering the fact that many Nigerian males get themselves in trouble abroad and either get locked away in south africa or eastern europe somewhere or executed in far away asia before they can even get the chance to marry and bear children. Other times, their lives get cut short by the numerous accidents that occur on Nigerian roads each day or their lives get cut short when they get killed by cultists, kidnappers and ritualists.

So what are we talking about here? Look at all the male street urchins otherwise known as agboros that are all over Nigeria. Many are unemployed and are doing nothing productive with their lives other than being a nuisance to society and the world at large. I will rather have 2 responsible females than have 2 irresponsible males that tomorrow will grow up and bring shame and disgrace to my family like the male killers of cynthia osukogu have done to their families. I will rather have 2 responsible females than have males that will grow up and begin r[b]a[/b]ping female children or become militants, ritualists, armed robbers, corrupt politicians and what have you.

Lastly, here in the advanced western world, black males are generally speaking at the bottom of the barrel. Advanced Oyibo countries will still choose a black female over a black male because often times, whitey sees black men as a threat and criminally minded (even though their assertion is false). And nobody should mention barack obama because obama is biracial and not a full black man. Just give God thanks for whatever He gives you because a healthy girl child who grows up to become a president (like in Liberia), a minister (like in Jamaica), a secretary of state (like in USA) is still worth much more than a male child who grows up in Nigeria and starts drug trafficking internationally and meets his waterloo in asia somewhere or get's killed by cultists while attending university in Nigeria or get's locked up in south Africa for armed robbery (like Ekene chukwu).

Women used to be. But many of our young women theses days loath everything African. They claim it's primitive and oppressive. Instead of looking within and looking at ways to improve, we want to do copy and paste.

In India and China, many families now use Ultrasound to check sex and many terminate if it's a girl. Many abandon baby girls in China. It doesn't happen in Nigeria. Not saying we should copy the worst.

Years back, I thought there was no need for male kids. But now, I see that my married sisters are not really that willing to share responsibilities that tradition dictates. Things like attending funerals and sundry. I have to push them from my base in diaspora. They don't even know how we relate to many people even though dad was laways telling us growing up.

Why do you bother replying a thoroughly brainwashed person like that.

The westerners know that the best way to conquer and subjugate any people is to emasculate their men and put women in charge. That's what happened to blacks during slavery. It still blights AAs and Caribbeans today. Boys growing up without good male role models. So it goes on like that from generation to generation. They throw the crumbs from table at black women in terms of opportunities and black women start feeling they are better than black men.

Actually I have seen a equal amount of Nigerian women and men pretend to be anything but african/nigerian but I have seen many that have done the reverse.

Thank God Nigeria is not like China and India, it shows Nigeria has a heart at least

When it comes to your sisters, well I feel it is not the majority because my siblings don't act that way, and other Nigerian females I have bumped into and my parents raised men and my siblings with the culture growing up as well, born and raised in America.

I thoight i was the only one that sees that trash of a post; calling ur culture Chuvinist, just imagine what kind of generation we will have by the end of our own time; i weep for Africa.

everyone both Male and Female has a role to play but when you want to swap role, then you get what we are experiencing today. I leave in the west and i know i can't raise my family here only, they will take part of my Africa Heritage.

It won't surprise you that these so called western black superior wannabes will grow old to be abandoned in Nursing home in the west when their children sees them as work load, keep them for the home to take care of, when they never instilled the African culture of taking care of parent when old.

Is this even worth debating?Males have been the backbone of many families for several generations now.
Case in point,my maternal grandmother has 5 children(all female),they all married and doing well in their "new adopted" families.
However,it was us, her grandsons, that finally contributed in building the only house she leaves in right now.

Having said that, I wish for both male and female kids cool cool cool.
