Having a baby is hard work and people need to appreciate the Labor pain woman passthrough. Labor is one of the most severe pains which has ever evaluated and its fear is one of the reasons ladies does not want to marry.

Now, what I have observed so far whenever woman give birth, the next questions will be weitin u born? Na boy or girl? . To me, I think this is most annoying question. Why not congratulate the woman first instead of asking unnecessary questions.

Why some Nigerians like asking this question?

We're very inquisitive and curious as a people.
There's nothing bad about it.


Just that some people who have been TTC a particular sex maybe uncomfortable with the
question especially when they didn't birth their desired sex.


Overall it isn't a bad question, sometimes it comes out of excitement upon hearing the good news.

If you don't ask, what will you tell the next person you are giving the information when asked

It's a Nigerian thing, we're all guilty of it.
It's a question being asked all over the world,but the way we asked ours as Nigerians come be like say,we be monitoring spirits.

It's actually no big deal. Before you compare with the western countries, over there, they aren't vague when breaking news of their baby's birth. They aren't unnecessarily superstitious to conceal their newborn's sex so you wouldn't even need to ask about the sex in the first place

Richard from Dallas,TX on the phone: "Hey Frank, My wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy last night, I thought to share you the good news".

Baba Basirat from Ijebu on the phone: "Mo ni kin so fun yin ni o, Iya Basira bimo lana o."


Note the difference

Exactly, as if they want to use the child.

Some will even ask you before congratulating u

Omakraid:
Some are asked this question even by their husbands ooo especially if they want a male child

My dear.. all child na child, to me, I think God give u what's the best. Asking questions is not necessary

There is nothing wrong about the question, you can just break the news by revealing the gender at first.

Deicide:
To know if they should throw the baby in a trash can

Senseless comment.

So as to know the gender she gave birth to, simple!

Unnecessary curiosity and ignorance of the psychological trauma they are causing.

Did you know??



Giving birth is the second most painful thing a human can experience – The first is being burned alive.

Good

Wait I'm coming

Some are asked this question even by their husbands ooo especially if they want a male child

Q. Wetin you born?

A. Na pikin I born

End of discussion

That one is even good sef. I remembered when my wife had our 1st child, someone even went as far as asking me whether na CS or the other way. And the pesin na elderly woman in my family. I just ignored the question.

Na so some of my friends like to ask many questions like "how much you buy the car, how much be your house rent, how much for the land, how much for this, how much for that? As if them wan refund you the money. People should be minding their bizness and be sensitive to the kind of questions they ask. Monitoring spirits everywhere

Sex of babies matters alot to family & friends, in other not to embarrass themselves in buying of gifts & naming of the baby.

So annoying

Even me I resist the urge to ask that question, a boy or girl? If shez my close friend, curiosity won't allow me mind my business o
if we aren't close, I won't bother to ask
but I might ask the family members, after exchanging pleasantries

One of the things we have to live with as Nigerians.

To know the sex of the baby

Nothing wrong with wanting to know the sex of your child. Stupid trend

Olam09:
Wait I'm coming

But you're going...

To know if they should throw the baby in a trash can.

Are you having a Boy or an Abortion?

Lol

Ok

Foolish question.
