byvan: Nothing special,a dead man doesn't know whether he is succeeded or not,Africans and their idiosyncrasies undecided.They certainly still complain when they ve no female children.

Really? So because a dead man isn't aware of anything, he shouldn't put things in place for when he's gone? Are you trying to act like you don't know the African tradition, or have you been brainwashed?

jeffizy: Family A . After five girls, the last being age 15, the parents decided to try 'once more' for a male child.
Luckily,they got a boy. But the sisters complained of embarrassment from their parents.

Family B
They had 7 children, all girls. The hubby is looking outside for the missing male child from his scrotum! From another woman of course.

Family C
Wife's family advised her to protect herself diabolically to prevent her man from seeking a new wife after she gave birth to their third girl.

N.B
Above are real life occurrences.

Those that don't have children at all will tell you the importance of every child be boy or girl. The fact is that it is a gift from God and whatever He predestines for any man is for a purpose. So I'd say to everybody to pray to God about his perfect will in their lives. Come to think of it if you have all male children without a female child, at your old age you will pray and wish you had a female child.Female children are very caring and loving to their parents. Guys don't get it wrong here.....but honestly they devote time to take care of their ageing or sick parents while the male children doles out the cash required in any magnitude and provides the support and security needed in any family. But certain times it requires the love,care, affection and attention of their children. In conclusion both male and female children are wonderful

education doesn't change anything. Naming (surname) is nothing, property now that's just vanity. It's the blood a woman doesn't carry the blood and a man does, women are just passage for that blood

Here is an apt definition for tradition/culture : It's just something a bunch of guys used to do before and a bunch of others guys chose to continue.

It's like monarchy where people are expected to bow before you because you were the descendant of some dude who managed to convince his people he was God's gift to them.

Take the killing of twins as a real life example. It used to be tradition. See all the good stopping it has done, we now have p-square(wait is this an advantage :-)).

Children are special male or female.

and you know less the 5% of nigerian actually use legal will, because nigerian in general see going to court as bad thing, for example 10 the most educated igbo family in the world i don't think more then 3 family will 100% share the property according to the death man will, and igbo being the most westernised nigerians as compare with hausa and yaruba
Re: And What's So Special About The Male Child? by Nobody: 2:10am On Dec 06, 2013
Both sexes are very important. But for some reasons, which are understandable, male children are preferred over female.

I know some of you will not believe it, there was a time a male child would receive more child benefit from govt than the female. And I am talking about the western world.

Going back into history, if you as a family did not have male children, your family became inferior in the society. No representation among the decision makers.

A society with less men, became prey to the ones with mighty men. Men protect their families and societies. Men stood up for their wives and daughters,mothers and sisters.

That doesn't make the female child inferior. It simply shows who does what. It is what it is.

Not trying to sound sexist, but the fact remains.
Let me explain the african way cheesy using this scenario.

A millionaire man has a daughter, but unfortunately, he had an heart attack at 60. A playboy takes advantage of the situation, getting himself married to lady.

The lady starts to bear the husband's name while dropping the late Dad's name. As the official head of the family, he becomes the company boss, and probably even relegates the wife to a backstage role.

The Late Man's dynasty ends, his sweat has left his lineage, Even his name is gone.

This is a fact. Though its not in our hands to decide what sex pops out of a sexual union.

Look I used to believe that there's no need for male kids.

But events both personal and around some people I know now make me realise that our ancestors were not foolish.

Because of education and long stay abroad, I bought into this Western/equality hype.

In my observation the girls just got married and left, barely caring about their elderly parents (some do).

Funeral expenses came, hear excuse " I am just a woman, you know. We girls don't know about these things".

Time to share property: "Since father left no will, things must be shared equally, this is 21st century you know".

Elsewhere, on hearing of her dad's death the most senior child/daughter abroad said "Well I am NOT going to Lagos for the funeral, I'm just a girl. Anyway dad sold his best houses before he died".

Two men who had no sons, their houses in the village have now nearly fallen down from neglect. Their daughters are busy cooking for their husbands in far-flung corners of the world.

Sure some girls won't fit into the above but why risk it?

To believe that we must follow everything oyinbo do will not make us oyinbo. It will only further demonstrate our self-loathing and inferiority complex as a people (no matter how much we deny it).

Women in their selfishness cannot see beyond personal/their kids interest in marriage.

As an African guy you have a duty to preserve your lineage and name, especially an only son like me. Something your wife couldn't care less about.

be proud u ar female or male and stop making unnecessary something off nothing, you sound like u ar having serious issues seeing u have an ikpu instead of amu. ingest more testosterone, Ur case may change. No one is seeing the female folks as slaves and for all I know the females are accorded as much respect as the male folks just that some females want more than necessary just like you and in DAT case, the wisest thing is to ignore you.
