Both you need to keep the girl safe from sexual predators and the boy safe from bad companies.

Meanwhile, boys are also vulnerable to sexual predators and girls are also vulnerable to bad companies.

Ask bandits how many females they have on their team, then you can deduce the right answer.

So, boys don't equally need to be kept from sexual predators? 😩😩

2. Oh, boys are but you ignore that to hyperfocus on monitoring your gals and never the boys? There are a lot of boys out there who were sexually molested as children that grew into men who now sexually molest other children including girls. Many of the fixation Nigerian men have on dating young girls(some small boys in secret) comes from trauma and abuse they endured in their childhood. 😩😩😩

Go and ask the baby mamas, the high school girls who dropped out due to unwanted pregnancy, the women who abandoned their children for their parents to raise, or the hookup girls and prostitutes used for r_tuals: how many boys do we find in their immediate midst? Based on the data you collect from those groups, you can then derive your own conclusion about which gender carries the highest social risk and reputational damage.

Let’s be realistic about parenting; a female child generally demands more attention and financial resources than a male child. Just look at basic grooming: a boy can cut his hair for ₦1,500, but to make a girl look neat and beautiful, you are looking at expenses from ₦5,000 upwards.

From the age of ten, the gap in care widens even further. While a boy primarily needs to understand the use of contraceptives and the dangers of unprotected sex, a girl requires detailed education on skincare, the complexities of her menstrual cycle, and the consequences of pregnancy. You also have to budget significantly more for sanitary and hygiene products for a girl than you would for a boy. Beyond the finances, the safety stakes are higher; a female child is unfortunately more vulnerable to molestation, meaning she requires a heightened level of vigilance and training to navigate the society.

Both genders are hard to raise, but the intensive care center center required for a girl often makes the training of a male child seem like a walk in the park.
This is a perfectly analyzed answer here. The best for the question!

Everything that makes people think the female child is harder to raise revolves mostly around her safety _sexually and physically. So maybe you should raise your sons with same carefulness not to cause evil to another person's daughter.

The menstraul hygiene of the girl child is not why Trump is planning to invade Nigeria. Neither is it the reason our national highways are slaughter houses and kidnappers dens.
Haba! You are bring guns to a stick fight. Lol

Who impregnated the baby mamas? Irresponsible men. Who impregnated the high school girls? Men who are sexual predators.

As for hook up girls getting used for rituals, just imagine if parents raised their sons well, then girls wouldn't be endangered species.

In essence, women carrying the highest social risk doesn't mean they are difficult to raise. It proves they are vulnerable to the villainy of men because some people didn't raise their sons well.

That’s why we have lots of women pushing their daughters into hookup and baby mama life.
And why do we have men sleeping with their daughters? Balance the equation.

Generally speaking...


girls might require more vigilance and protection in terms of higher risk of sexual abuse or exploitation, societal pressures and safety concerns, emotional vulnerability!
You are stating the reality, but some gender warlords and their sympathisers will always view issues like this through gender optics.

In naija, girls are harder to raise due to financial pressure.
In western countries, boys are harder to train especially black boys. So long as u push girl child along the religious line, she will be fine.

Given her net worth and her age, I say she is doing much better than many of her peers. I have yet to find any articles stating that her parents have come out to say they are not happy she is their child. So, wetin be your own? Na bad belle abi wetin? undecided

For that Nigerian, una go hail drug dealer, yahooyahoo boy, even dirty politicians are hailed daily, though they all commit crimes and ruin the lives of others by it. But the moment una see woman wey dey do her own thing, no dey harm anyone, una go come out in droves to condemn her, why? No be pure bad belle that one be? huh

Value and distinction? She has so many made more value out of her life than her parents have put into her since she was born, looking at her net worth, and she didn't need to harm anyone to achieve that. What is wrong with that? undecided

And when you talk of distinction, 99% of us all will never attain that in this lifetime, so what in the world are you on about? You ask if I understand. What I understand is that you are desperately grasping at straws here, trying to bring this girl down because she is a girl and not because of any crime she supposedly committed. undecided

You have to explain to me why she is not allowed to openly express herself in this manner. What is it about what she said that offends you? That her Pucci value is worth nothing less than 20 million or what? huh

Would you have been happier if she had said You don't need to pay any money at all to get her to open her legs to you? I mean, what exactly are you getting at here? undecided

All of this is more gibberish that explains absolutely nothing of what you are driving at. She is a woman of her own, and her net worth is more than most of your poverty-riddled people can amass in a lifetime. So, where is the bad belle coming from if not that she is a young woman who has used what she has to achieve so much in just 24 years? undecided
