Because the HUNTER has now become the HUNTED .

It all depends on the nature of the father and the duaghter as well as understanding of both.

IceDude: Dem force ur daughter?..guy talk beta tin jor

I go yansh your daughter wela.And na for your presence I go yansh d babe

Protect wetin?5 minutes is enough for her to raise her skirt!just teach her how to be responsible and virtuous!

Play Daughters by Nas. Ur answer is dia.

smh

Fathers were once boys and they know what boys are capable of doing to girls who are defenceless.Besides they know that boys are clever,naughty and are always coming out with new ideas to get anything attractive and that is out of their reach

@ harddon
pls i gbadun your response, very precise answer

So that you will make him proud: he wants to marry you out to your husband-- that is when you are still unsullied. He fears that if you get overexposure to the bad things in our modern society, you will be spoilt (no offence there). Most atimes, some fathers believe that their daughters are very vulnerable to peer pressures(which is the solemn truth)--they allow boys to deflower them easily and this could make them contract deadly deseases.
Mind you, he is not necessarily overprotective--he sees the future more than you do--so, he tries to protect you from the bad experience you would have following a path.

Because they don't want their daughters to end up like Miley Cyrus.

That brings us to my thread

it is worse when u have a soldierlike father plus 4 soldier-like brothers
and mum is the commander-in-chief of the matter
*issues*

iamjustsassy: yea but there are times d protection gets too much and it affects the girls relationship with the opposite sex

There is no way a father's protection of his daughter can be dangerous, remember, he was once a guy, a boy...so he knows best...so heed to his counsels, BOYS/GUYS/MEN can be very funny and DANGEROUS! Relationship is not a pre-requisite for marriage...its just a western world culture that we are photocopying dangerously to the detriment of girls in particular. Be wise!! Listen to your father pls!

Oh really?
Dudes are actually accepting that they are evil

Yes, men aren't all saints, don't listen to just what they say, pay attention and believe what they do

na wetin dem do for lady outside matrimony dey make dem affraid

It has been researched and found out under modern Freudian psychology that a father instinctly and unconsciously has a mind sexual intercourse with his daughter , the theory is called "Electra Complex" .Same thing applies to a Mother and her son , that theory is called "Oedipus complex".Both theories allude to the ancient greek mythology.

Because they know what they do to other ppl's daughters

spongeback: For me my dad over did the protection thingy, he used to take my phone at night and he will keep it till the next morning, if he sees me with a guy the way he will embarrass you! •

And after all he did, Spongeback still ended up a bad gyal.. you are forgiven.

Case In Point - Who wan bad go still bad.

I was once asked this same question, but I finally concluded with a reason which is unreasonable, fathers should be wise enuf to protect their daughter wisely, fathers should welcome their daughters best guys they present wisely. WISELY.

Cos we feel no one is good enough for our daughters.

I dnt even understand wat gurls really want! When the dad ignores and they get pregnant, they say dad isn't concern...........wait ooo............du gurls luvin hangin out wt boys dt much?

Nice one azimibraun.

carujmonella:
When a man impregnates a lady, the lady bears the brunt of the societal blame while the man is left to carry on with his life. After all, it's a man's world

This is the sole reason. Apart from societal blame, the psychological effect greatly affects the family especially the girl who's not matured enough to nurture a baby. It could affect her school and the financial demand as a result of the new baby is another dreaded factor.

;DSo dat dey will not get Zap.e.d by guys lolz...n 2 close dere leg n open dere brain no time...

;DSo dat dey will not get f...**.c..k...e...d by guys lolz...n 2 close dere leg n open dere brain no time...

A man inserts and deposit accordingly while a woman receives both insertion and the fluid that follow suit resulting to pregnancy if unprotected.Due to the fact that the receiving can lead to pregnancy,the reason she is being protected.A 'BADOO' of a father in most cases will be more protective than a father that controls his third leg.

Plus ladies suffer more stigma from the society when shitt hits the fans.

When a man impregnates a lady, the lady bears the brunt of the societal blame while the man is left to carry on with his life. After all, it's a man's world

And currently the MAIN reason is beacause randyy old men a.k.a SENATOR YERIMAs

I totaly agree wit d post above especially women being d bearer of d stigma.

If i wus a father myself i wil protect mine ril tight cuz u aldy knw hw guys dier age tink b/c u were once dat age.
