women have always lived longer than men. there're many reasons why... too long to go into, but surprisingly age is not one of them.

Are the deaths of fathers truly more common or is it only a myth that has been told often enough to the extent that we've come to internalize it as the truth? Were there actual surveys conducted?

I hope I'm not being a party-pooper.

Women generally have a longer life span / life expectancy than men.

There are lots of studies on this btw. Google search will bring up quite a few.

I've read from such “well-researched” journals and articles in the past. I just find it difficult in letting someone think for me (by conceeding unquestioningly to these so-called “meticulously researched” journals). I prefer instead to rely on what has been repeatedly observed by my five senses–which by the way I admit are not entirely inerrant).

I've not really seen a situation whereby a community held more funerals for men than women, or a community with more dead husbands than dead wives. So, even though I know that females have the biological or evolutionary advantage and whatnot (like the fact that more females than males tend to survive at infancy), I still think the whole mortality rate discrepancy between the male and female demographic is a bit over-bloated.

Take Nigeria for example; can anyone truly provide an accurate figure of the mortality rate between adult males and adult females, especially as the country more or less doesn't even have a proper official data base of her citizenry? In such cases, what happens is that a blanket approach would be taken, and these “well-researched journals” which probably spoke to the particulars of another environment would be borrrowed and used in giving a hasty value judgement of the Nigerian clime.

If spousal wahala is a cause of death, then more women should be dead than men.
Are we carrying on in this thread like all husbands are angels? I can authoritatively say that more men make shittier partners than women. so there goes your theory.

And shut up about this spiritual BS please. If you want intelligent discourse.

The life expectancy in Nigeria used to be 54 for women and 52 for men.
The medical community in Nigeria also do a lot of research too you know. If you need figures of research done in Nigeria, you will definitely find them.
You just have to search harder on Google, or have to go to libraries of some teaching hospitals.
WHO findings on Nigeria- Nigerians also work with WHO and do research for them in Nigeria. It will tell you the life expectancy of each sex, and the leading causes of death in both sexes. Google can also help. I can't physically go and start looking for people's works and it's too time consuming and unfair if I burden others with that responsibilty just to show you that we do have specific researches done in the Nigerian environment. Though we also have some journals you have to subscribe to, in order to have access to some of these works.
It's not a case of magomago, or just conjuring up figures. We have epidemiologists in Nigeria, we have researches done on the leading causes of death in nigeria, and it's really just science. Your sample size doesn't have to be the whole country.
You don't even need 1/100th of the whole country before your research can be said to be valid

In Nigeria , men are the burden bearers.

Odiegwu...even if the woman is a house wife.

Just try taking care of kids, cleaning the house,cooking,school runs, homework, etc just for one week. You will know that that is an occupation.
