Because most family members depend on and leach off the man and not the woman.

When your aunties and uncles from your father’s side don’t give your mom the respect she deserves as an adult and equal party in the marriage, but the uncles and aunties from your mother’s side respect your father and treat him like a grown person, is it a surprise to you that you and your siblings take notice and in time prefer your mom's side of the family?
That’s the coco with most Nigerian families.

Of course there are exceptions

End of discussion! You summarized what I couldn't say in one paragraph.

Coco the witch , how are you doing?

I saw you on one thread being your usual sarcastic and savage self, I just smiled and thought to myself I can see why some people call you a witch.

The thread where you asked someone, who is raising you people? I swear laff wan kill me with that single sentence.

Rubbiish:

Very wrong point of view

Marriage as we all know is the coming together of two families. But down the line, especially when children start coming, there seem to be this choice by default to love and and dislike one side of the family- Mother's side or Father's side.
The paternal family is most of the times disliked distrusted or actually hated. I once came upon a poll where over 90% of respondents gave a negative view about their fathers side. Some believe the 'Village people' are definitely from that side. One way or the other, we are also a paternal family too.Feeling the same negative vibe. So what could be responsible for this?

That's your problem, not mine. I don't care about looking tasteful or classy to you or anyone else. Ignoring the foool is the reason why he grew wings in the first place and continued his smear campaign against female monikers. When he engages you, pls by all means ignore him, it is my prerogative to ignore or engage

When it comes to your fellow men, you agree to disagree and move on because you have more respect for your fellow men than most of the senseless women on nairaland.
