HaneefahRN:Population has little to do with it. Economic swing is doing it already. Population won't play any role. More men are delaying marriage for lack of finance and financial establishment. More women are getting emplyed. I have witness two ladies who paid their brideprice themselves and sponsored their marriages last year. It took a misunderstanding for this to spill out. |

lezz: I agree to an extent and still disagree with this. I believe women are more likely to be unemployed than men, although more women seem to be focused these days on being independent, while some men would rather do fine boy like you pointed out. Most ladies I know are getting their education and even a side skill, how many guys do this? Yh, men are marrying late seeking financial stability which some might not find till their 40s and a woman most likely wld find someone ready to settle down during that period. They paid their bride price because our Society still pays so much value on marriage. If this continues, marriage will gradually lose meaning. Just get someone to make your babies with, if interested, cest fini So what's your view about this? Is this a menace of some sort. And what are the causes? 1 Like |

byvan03:Wow! And you noticed they had more males than female. Hmm, we seem to have noticed different things. I know couples within that age grade who have more female kids than male, my observation made me know their quest for having a male child was the reason why they even had more females... |
Re: And There Shall Be 7 Women To 1 Man..... by lezz(m): 11:15am On Apr 07, 2016 |
byvan03: I would have found the bolded comical if it weren't so ridiculous. How does the preference of one man become the criterion for measuring the matrimonial behaviour of men in general? That a man is forcing a promiscuous wife back home is so atypical of the average man. |

joseph1832: My observation also made me know that their quest for a female child was the reason they had more males. The other day I made a post about a neighbour that is facing the threat of her husband bringing a second wife because she has no female child yet.

joseph1832: As unbelievable as it sounds,it is true. I have mentioned it in a thread before now. People see from different angles. For some male kids only doesn't cut it. A man also mentioned on the thread that he will be happier with all female kids than all male kids. Another lady stated that she will be happier with 3 daughters and a son, this I have heard before from a friend. Different people, different preferences, you can't use yourself as a yardstick to judge majority. 3 Likes |

byvan03:No doubt! But as I know you know, majority carries the vote. More nigerians are more prone to wanting and having male kids than females kids. That's a fact!. |

HaneefahRN:You will get employment before most boys in your class!! Even in IT, we pick female students in my firm more than males. HaneefahRN: Most modern men are placing more emphasis on looks and clothes than in skills. Check romance section, the caliphate of dummies for instance. Both female spongers and gold-diggers aren't on the decrease either. The upper class is the exclusive preserve of male at the moment. HaneefahRN: A woman paying her bride price is the proof of height women cherish matrimony and family. It will never change. And I'm not suggesting women would actually live with a single man literally as do conventional marriage requires. Most firms and employees give benefits to the married, with women dominating in work places, they will naturally want to cash in on it. Our society do not give inheritance too to children born without fathers. I see women doing paper marriage to legitimatise their offspring and safeguard their future. |

joseph1832: Probably but I still see more male kids around me .I personally believe that nature will always find its balance some how. I understand OP's point about the financial angles pointed out, I just don't agree that the birth rate of females is higher than males. 4 Likes 1 Share |

lezz:let's just forget about the untimely, hazardous deaths which tend to claim the lives of men most of the time...there are also established facts that women have a higher life span than men.. According to this criterion, the longest human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who lived to the age of 122 years, 164 days.the difference is crystal clear......these people are just arguing blindly.. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: And There Shall Be 7 Women To 1 Man..... by Djailer: 11:41am On Apr 07, 2016 |
HaneefahRN: Your statement is a threat to societal decorum and sanctity. "Just get someone to make your babies with, if interested ". You're explicitely advocating for people to start procreating without any pledge to lasting bond and commitment. You should have studied researches on single parenthood and know the implications of what you're proposing. Since making human life to you is similar to a dog who crosses 3 blocks of flat and open her legs for the next neighbour who would be the 3 dad of her 4 child. |

byvan03:Probably? Come on men surely you know the nigerian society is one that is as traditional as it is religious, and both place a very high importance on male kids, than females kids. Might I also remind you that both also oppress and suppress females? I see more females kids and female adults around me. I'm intrigued to ask you if you're resident in Nigeria, if you are, then where are you resident? As for nature, sure, nature has a way of balancing things, no matter how devious it might seem. As for your last point, there isn't any standard way of knowing if we have more females on this planet, than males. All I know is what by SAA111 lecturer told me: "If you have a society where there is more males than females, that society is fading/dying". And I believe him. Remember, it only takes one he-goat to fertilize seven she-goat, and it can never take seven she-goat to fertilize one he-goat. 1 Like |

lezz: Hmmmm, male nurses don't have it bad actually. So you might use other cases. I think it depends on the areas and fields too, like naturally women would have a upper hand, and larger representation in female dominated fields. And whose fault is it you pick more females? Lolz. So true. Really cracked me up. Hmmmm, yeah. |
