Ok

Very simple He dont multiply, She does

Lol

Because she is Buhari...

Maybe They related to Bobrisky

It is because other countries can also emergence/breakaway from it

And men haven't made any attempt to change it. If a masculine pronoun is used for anything, women will call it sexist.

BeeBeeOoh:
That's not the bone of contention here, 'who gives the birth'.


Good morning

NJH

Nigeria is a he in a she form just like Bobrisky trying to claim she by force.

I THINKS ITS because A COUNTRY WAS REPRODUCED, CREATED OR GIVEN BIRTH TO WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY REPRODUCE ANOTHER

I think is because men are always f4cking her up.

bukatyne:


Non living things are assigned gendered pronouns according to the major characteristics.

It was never considered 'sexist/misogynist' until recently.

So some feminine non-living words because of their ability to reproduce, multiply, create, balance, stability, elegance, support life etc. are:
1. Earth - Mother Earth (this can also refer to the soil because it aids growth/life)
2. Country
3. Motherland (also referencing country)
4. Nature
5. Ship/boat/cars/vehicles - perhaps because men owned them more initially and treated them like lovers?
6. Liberty/Freedom ( the Legal symbol of justice is female lady justice)
7. Luck - Lady Luck
8. Ocean/Sea
9. Life
10. Moon
11. Language (Mother tongue) etc.

Male non-living words are for strength; fieriness; power etc.
1. Death (the grim reaper is a wizard)
2. Time
3. Sun (somewhere said the Sun is giving {masculine} while the earth {absorbing} and the moon {reflecting} are feminine etc.

Well (unfortunately or not ) men do not get many inanimate objected gendered after them.

Excellent!

This has always crossed my mind most times, and I always come up blank, even the all knowing Google always bring up unsatisfactory answers(to me anyway) so i decided to bring it here for more discussions, suggestions, and answers

Why are countries referred to as "she" and not "he"?

Anything that produces is a SHE.

The FUTURE is FEMALE

sunshineV:
because the future is female

no it's not

Nigeria is an exception with the way it is presently constituted. May be a "She-im" or a "Sheem" or a "Shim" will be appropriate.

Because she consists of people, communities and ethnic groups etc

shiitt

Most countries are referred to as she or her or in any female form because the concept of motherhood is attached to the country. This could be due to two factors (that I can think of at the moment): A country is one's place of birth and the idea of birth is directly linked to motherhood for obvious reasons.

Because a coutry is more of motherland

Language is arbitary. English is not an exception.

Nackdemall:
Because the world belongs to Women

Women makes things happen
The world revolves around the women

well said.... even guys are focused on pleasing women!

.

And why is an aeroplane referred to as her.
Pls am still finding it hard to download my Power ppa letter. Someone help

Not incase of Nigeria. Nigeria is she-male not she, ask bobo risky if you are confused

viyon02:
Just like a love of mother to a child, so we expect a country to love and care for her citizens..,..... Therefore we normally use "she" e,g US citizens enjoy mother like love from the country so it is ideal we use "she" for US. The only exception we have is Nigeria, please don't ask me why.

Well written...
I was gonna ask, but I saw the bolded, so "nevermind"

The same reason why God is always refer to as HE.

Liking "some" of these answers a whole lot.

Oppy2k2:
If Nigeria is a profession, na oloso or beggar she go be.

You are very unpatriotically not serious....Lolz
