Hmmmmmm everybody knows the great importance of having a male child, the numbers of sons a family has is like arrows in a soldiers hands, but daughters are like...

This is as result of societal predilection for the male child. If a society has made it in such a way that only male kids inherit their fathers' wealth or encourages the boy child to travel out to make money, build a career, etc. while the girl child is expected to stay at home to learn some kitchen skills and how to keep a home, then it makes sense why people from that society perceive the male as far more important.

So, many parents feel it is easier to just raise a male child. They require less attention.


The bolded is not true.

The male child just like the female child needs the parents full attention. He needs to be taught how to be responsible and to take up responsibility. Reason why we have so many wayward children in our society.

Is there really why people prefer the boy child? Why do people go through so much stress in search of male children? Christianity as a religion has certainly had some influence on this. Still, African traditional religious systems, Islamic religion and others, hold women in some lower class.


All this reasons are not applicable in North, the females are Golds while the males are Almajiries, though as for me They are all child's with equal rights.
You have never been to the north.

If you want to live longer, Give birth to female children.
I have 2 beautiful girls and I'm very grateful to God for them.
I've always prayed to God to give me a female child.

Men will always take their Family as their primary responsibility over their parents when they get married, but the female child will always take good care of their parents even adding that responsibility to their husbands grin
so are you through with having kids

Some female child is worth more than 10 male children put together.

Generally, over 95% of African women nowadays don't have common sense......it's very simple.

This explains why a male child is held with high regards.
Mr Jude Kristen have two children a boy and a girl, let's call the boy Dave and the girl Cynthia
Dave got married and his wife and children are all answering Kristen their grand father name. Hance the name is living on.
Cynthia got married and now bears the husband surname.
Jude Kristen died and because he has a male child his name is living on.
Let's say if Cynthia was the only child and she got married his name won't live on so because of such circumstance a male child is held with high regards than a female.


And how much will the NAME put in your pocket.

My brother, pikin na pikin, as long as the said pikin takes good care on you in your old age.

For me its not culture related.
Raising a female child in these immoral times is scary when I think of it.

Imagine watching my own daughter's sextape with one guy ramming her senselessly going viral online. Chai!! cry

I'll kill her then take my own life.
Haha how many have you banged

In the US, the mother determines the last name the child will use almost all the time, so if kids lives in the US, Jude Kristen's name could either be preserved or sent to the grave with him.

Re: Why Is There An Obsession With Male Children? by LilMissFavvy(f): 3:01pm On Jul 22, 2021
It is because Africans are still backwards and primitive, that's why they prefer male children. Obama has 2daughters, yet in this age of IVF, he didn't try for a boy, Former president Bush has daughters, etcetera. I prefer female children far more than male. But I need both sexes so that we can have a balanced world.

Female children are usually very cute, brilliant and sharp mouthed when they are still very young. But immediately they reach puberty, and start being conscious of their bodies and getting male attention. Haaaa, wahala don dey. If your daughter can graduate the university without getting pregnant and get married then your job as a father is done. And when it comes to looking after parents, it varies family by family. If your daughter is not educated or married to a rich man, then don't expect anything. A man will never leave home, no matter where he goes. Your family name and property is always on your head. And the female children will always get married first, my cousin of the same age got married at 21, I'm about 30 and still single. If I have one boy and the rest are girls I don't mind, but I will train all my kids the same way regardless of gender.

Nobody LOVES a male child properly until he's wealthy only dogs and women are loved unconditionally

Do you love women unconditionally? Abi you don't know what unconditional mean?
People love women and expect stuff from them. No unconditional love anywhere bruv. Maybe except for children and even the children,people love them because they expect them to grow up and be responsible and also take care of the old.

what of the guy ramming the lady...why do we see the oart of the lady only as immoral but tolerate the immoral part of the guy ?
a man's "value" doesn't reduce with sexual activities. A boy who has fuccked all the girls in his compound or department would be hailed as a champion while a girl who fuccked all the boys in his compound would disparaged and dismissed as a worthless whorre.
A boy is shamed for being a virgin while a girl is hailed for being a virgin
