Because if you dont have a male child you name dissappears! All you work for will go to the hands of another man through your daughters and your name will eventually be erased from history.

Let me stress that I dont agree with that line of thinking but that is the thought process. Even if you have male children they may die or have female children. I think people worry too much about what will happen when they are dead.
no,you're the one going away from the obvious. The same way you save for the future because of the love you have for your children,that is the same thing playing out here.

our ancestors fought,acquired and preserved land and properties for us the children to live,farm,hunt,a place to call home even when they know that they won't be alive forever just to make their children comfortable. Do you think these process will continue if there is no one to continue from where they stop?.

that name you are carrying around today, the land that you originated from which is where you're calling your home town today,this very country Nigeria is also as a result of people who preserved it for us. For example a man came from Cameroon and marry your only child, a female child,don't you know that you daughter will now bear the name of the man and possibly leave the inheritance and name your father left for you but the case is different for a male child who knew that he has to stay behind and continue to build and defend his father's land and lineage....

Why are most Nigerian parents obsessed about having male children? Some just keep bearing many children because they're in search of at least a male. There are instances where men even marry extra wives just in order to have male children. Please what's the fuss about?

So what about Nigerian men nko? Have you started any major protest.

No we'd prefer them to return. They'll be here to fight Nigeria's war. As they have always done since the beginning of time. We need them here.

Blood lines , its the task of a man to have a son in any way possible to continue his blood line , this very reason is why the uk needs caregivers who are migrants because the old are either homeless or abandoned , men are aware of the responsibilities in society and God has blessed them with strength to labour and provide for the family, even you his wives aged parents he's expected to function in time of need ,the war in ukrain would have been a walk trough if there were no men to fight and defend the countrys interest, think of that for a start
my children will answer my name as their Surname and not my father nor my grandfather's name... I don't care about any bloodline nonsense

Please stop lying to yourself I will rather follow the news I see with my own eyes that what your cousin told you.

Ukraine has over 37k women in their military and according to reports they are fighting one that died last week was a mother of four stop deceiving yourself even the wife of the president of Ukraine refused to leave Ukrainian women have taken weapons to fight and it is in the reports some women who left left to protect their children and would gladly stay to help if they could. Why some women run from wars is fear of abuse and sexual violence animals in men skin subject them to during war.
Read this article and stop deceiving yourself about your imaginary cousin there are many more articles relating to it https://www.npr.org/2022/03/19/1087712539/ukrainian-women-are-volunteering-to-fight-and-history-shows-they-always-have?utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com

Thank God that today women are changing the narrative and also making breakthroughs in their fields if women were at par with men from day one the industries of old would not be single handedly created by men thank God for some women who made scientific discoveries this past century and the ones upcoming in STEM.

You are the only coward I see here not women you are a coward for being this pained that women are doing exploits leaving you men behind in today's world.

Lol

The pictures below are they not Ukranian women?


Ukrainian women before the war, during military exercises. I Google reverse search the images and they are all old photos.

I'm not pained. If anything I'm mad at women not being involved in this war. I want to see more women die in this war. For generations they've always been exempt from war but that has to end.

You cannot claim equality only when it favors you.

Hahahaha.... Leaving men behind how? Who are the ones begging for inclusivity, Men? Would women beg for inclusivity if they were ahead?

Do you know or even remmember your great grandfather, his father? do you even know his name.....exactly! In time unless you do something really extra ordinary in life you are forgotten. The funny thing is, if you check your history well, even in this Nigeria, many are not originally from where they think.

it is natural to have these feelings but they are irrational and futile. Nigerian villages are full of mansions that the children of the deceased owners will never reside in and will rot away.

Guy, for 99% of individuals, NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY is going to remember you 50 years after you are dead. some are not even remembered 10 years after!!! You that are talking do you even know where you grandfathers grave is, if you do have you ever visited it? The male son how do you know he will have a son?

Life is for the living, enjoy your life, what will be will be!!!!

The true picture is that the average Nigerian wants both gender. It is not all about looking for male.

We are 5 boys and 2 girls(twins).
My parents kept looking for a female child till the twins came.

Take several seats are women in Ukraine fighting yes or no are there over 30k women in the Ukrainian Army and others enlisted as reservist yes or no?
Whether you like it or not some women have chosen to volunteer and fight in Ukraine good for them I see no reason why they should be fighting in a male creates war to begin with especially when they can be raped and violated by animals that is one of the reasons why women do not fight wars.
If not for gender equality advocacy no woman in Ukraine today will even volunteer to fight.
Years back in many countries women were even clamouring for the rights to fight.

To carry on the family name. If you give birth to a girl, she will belong to her husband's family not yours. She will bear her husband's family name. Same with her children.

You wish.... My distant cousin works with a British press covering the war in Ukraine and he swore to me that women formerly in Ukraine's army have fled the country. In their thousands. The only ones left are trapped and caught in the crossfires and are waiting for the next humanitarian corridor to open so they can leave.

Men created every industry that there is today. But today you're fighting to get equal placements in their industries. Today you want to be considered equal to men. Why don't you let men to have all of that to themselves.

Just admit that women are cowards and will never be equal to men. Nature made sure of this.

Blood line? Ok
But for issue of caregiver in the UK doesn't come into this. There is no relationship between having a male son and caregiver in any where in the world. Record even show that female folks do care for their parents more than their male folks. Bringing Ukraine here is quite odd.

It is our culture and is to retain the family lineage. Just a matter of decades, it will change as it is in Western world. From Clinton, Bush, Obama, all never had a male son and they don't give a damn

Mr George Bush junior

You sent me a video of a journalist telling us that women are fighting in the war. With no shred of evidence, not even a video or a recent picture.

That brings us to the question; why are videos of the so called "women in the army", fighting in this war so hard to find? Even when you can find thousands of men taking up arms and fighting at every turn. Well the answer is short and simple. It's because there aren't any women fighting in Ukraine no matter what you wanna believe. cheesy cheesy
