The research finding which was posted and she found all ways to put the blame on everyone else excepting the real people the research focused on.

A research carried out by Americans, on Americans in America she found a way to deflect it to African men ingeniously claiming they probably did it on immigrant family and the researchers were probably funded by My Okonkwo and Afolabi
dayokanu

in your eagerness to assume everybody has the nigerian mentality, dont let common sense take a back seat.

I fail to see what's getting you overly excited.

take a deep breath, count to ten, and ask yourself why the survival of your marriage should depend on if you and your wife produce male or female children.


nobody is saying having boys is a bad thing. But the so-called researchers obviously have an underhand agenda. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that.


as per your anxiety:

1. Producing "research" in an american university doesnt make somebody american.

2. yes, the so-called three million records were skewed.

3. no doubt something foreign and retrogressive is at work here.

Growing up on a north London council estate, Alexander Amosu learned earlier than most that there were two ways to get what you want in life. "You either stole it, or you found a way of paying for it." Amosu, now 33, opted for the latter. He got a £10-a-week paper round and earned enough money to buy a new pair of Nike trainers in weeks. "I realised then that I didn't want to be poor anymore." He tried several businesses, from cleaning services for pregnant women to organising parties

Playing around with a new Nokia 3210, Amosu sent his brother a ringtone, which he had just made using the phone's composing facility. Based on the tune Big Pimpin' by the rapper Jay-Z, it was an instant hit with his brother's classmates, 21 of whom came knocking at his front door the next evening looking for it. "So I put my entrepreneur hat on and said, if you want it, you'll have to pay £1 each." That evening, "I sat there with £21 on my lap and thought, what would happen if I made 100 or 200 ringtones"?


Amosu found there were only two other firms making ringtones, both focusing on pop-music-based tones. "There didn't seem to be anyone doing hip hop or R&B. I thought it was my duty to bring those ringtones to the world." His father was none too pleased. "He said I was throwing my life away playing with mobile phones." But Amosu hooked up a premium-rate phone line to his home in Wood Green and advertised on the back of 20,000 fliers he'd made for a party at university. "I made £6 in the first day, and aggressively grew from there." Within four months, he'd made enough money to get a £2,000 a month office in Islington, which he kitted out with 21 staff. Half were taking calls, while the others made the ringtones. "There were other teenagers like me making ringtones, so I put adverts around colleges for 'designers' at £5 an hour." Now called R&B Ringtones, the firm advertised in newspapers and on TV. "If we did a full-page advert in The Sun for £6,000, we would get five times that back in a week. That's how phenomenal the market was."


At the end of his first year, his accountant told him he'd turned over £1.6m. "I said, 'Hold on, let me go to the ATM and check if you're pulling my leg'. And there was over a million in the bank." Over the next three years, the group did another £6.3m in sales, before Amosu decided to sell up. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry was doing ringtones. When we put another £6,000 ad in The Sun, we got back £6,000 a week later." A German telecom who wanted his ringtone back catalogue paid just under £9m for the firm in 2004. Amosu got married, had "two kids and moved to Edmonton, where I bought a three-bed penthouse" and began working on his next venture: designing phones for the rich and famous. But despite his rapid success, he is no fan of the 'money is everything' mentality. "For the older generation, their way of being successful was through education. Unfortunately now, you can be a footballer and a multi-millionaire, and be unable to read or write. Things have changed."

^^i dont recall anyone saying EDO descended from oduduwa.

The BENIN MONARCHY on the other hand, DO NOT deny their links to oduduwa. They simply say oduduwa was originally bini, that's all. If a bini prince called ekaladerhan was actually the oduduwa who ruled Ife, is a topic for another day.

Oduduwa was simply sent to build empires by unifying the people in certain regions, and that's what he did. Same way Usman dan fodio established the sokoto caliphate and united northern nigeria.

the people in edo state have their different origins from all over nigeria and beyond- no one is disputing that.

Any story that attempts to amalgamate the Edos' and Yoruba are false.
the facts speak otherwise.


in any case, different Edo groups have different histories.

all were united under Benin empire, hence the reason why they're all considered Edo today.

the direct official connection between Ife and Edo is through Benin, even though other groups also had prior contact with the southwest, through migration and the likes.

Purist:
@tpiah

I think you need to calm down.  You're being overly emotional on this issue.  In as much as one cannot say for sure what the motive of these researchers is, I do not think it is fair to conclude that it's to denigrate the womenfolk.   Research like this are supposed to provide us some kind of new perspective into things that affect marital life and the society at large.  Who knows, the 'revelation' made by these researchers may even prompt some men to be more conscious of, and even change their negative mindsets about the prospect of female children.  Besides, the research didn't say that ALL marriages with female children are bound to fail.  Here, see the highlighted post below.
Akainzo:
@Tpiah, obviously, you are not reading and comprehending. The write-up by OP and my take were that the sex of the child(ren) could affect the possibility of divorce NOT that it is the ONLY determinant of divorce! Is that too hard for you to understand.?

So because Mel Gibson, Obama or Bush has daughters and are still married has now meant all marriages with daughters only are ALL still surviving? Or that you can point at ten honest mechanics means ALL mechanics are honest?

The research only says the chances of having a divorce increases by 5% when there is no male child involved. That is the simple outcome of the research, do find a way to comprehend that.
ok, let me repeat myself clearly.

Just because something is in print, or marketed as "research", doesnt mean it's set in stone.

there's such a thing as sponsorship.

If a couple of "researchers" came up with some unflattering statistics about nigerian men, y'all would be the first to cry foul.

dayokanu:
The researchers are Economists Gordon Dahl (University of Rochester) and Enrico Moretti (UCLA) these are caucasian sounding names
that doesnt show there's no foreign backing involved. Neither does it prove they're originally american. Caucasian applies to other countries besides the US.




dayokanu:
Evidence that support your opinion that it has foreigner written all over it.

And how do you know its skewed on immigrant population
because the write up clearly expresses foreign views.

the bias is quite obvious- you'd like us to think boys are more important than girls. And want women to start panicking, thinking the survival of their marriage depends on producing male children.

This type of mentality is more prevalent in certain parts of the world where it's culturally entrenched, and where many men consider not having boys as a fate worse than death.


anyway, supremacists also support the subjugation of women, so maybe you should proceed from there.

Men are men. They will cheat and do all sorts if they want to. These things aren't limited to tribe
or anything. Igbo men like to make noise about everything. . A good man is a good man and so is a wonderful family.
These things aren't tribe related. You all should be praying for God to give each and every one of you a man/woman
who will love, care and take care of you. . Also a family that will be nice enough to know their boundaries.
That is all. All the other talk here is rubbish and tribalistic because at the end of the day a man that will treat you like crap
will regardless of where he is from!
you're quite right but the major thing here is what happens after the honeymoon phase when all eyes have cleared and you see your partner's bedhead every morning.

that hitherto beautiful lady who once stopped traffic, and now you get to see her before the tweezers, soap, and makeup have done their work. The handsome guy all the other women were fighting over- now his snoring no dey gree you sleep again.

after the kids nko? To even comb hair na by appointment.

when the rose tinted glasses are off, that's when the tribal issues begin, and most experienced naijas know this.

that's when you start noticing attractive people from your hitherto boring tribe. And noticing all the stuff you cant stand about the other tribe.

not that couples from the same place wont have problems, but in mixed marriages the issues might get hinged on tribe, that's all.

Citing an instance, Ruth, who is excited about having white men as lovers, said she has vowed never to date any black man until when she is ready for marriage.

According to her, this vow became necessary after experiencing several heartbreaks with Nigerian men.

“Can you believe that the last one I dated was a married man with three kids? He never told me he was married until I almost got lynched by his wife who saw us while we were in the heat of passion in his supposed house.

“I would have been dead by now. The worst part of it was that he hardly gave me money for my upkeep and he monitored my daily activities as if I was in prison custody, yet I stayed in the relationship as I needed a man desperately,” she explained.

She said she was introduced into the “business” by a friend and since then she has “been living in the sweetest world.

“I now have a Honda car and a well furnished apartment.”

Another girl, who maintained anonymity said she prefers dating white men because “they are more understanding and they give us freedom to do a lot of things compared to their Nigerian counterparts.”

She said she could date other men and engage in other ventures that would fetch her money without the prying eyes of her white guys. But that is not the case with the Nigerian men, who she described as greedy and crooked in their love life.

“They prefer hiding you somewhere and doing it only in secret places with you for fear of being recognised by other people.

“But the white men are always proud to move around with you openly. They are proud of what they have even if we are only with them for money.”

well said. why do you think wealthy europeans MAKE their future sons in law sign prenuptial agreements before marrying? this is to avoid a guy marrying the heir of a dynasty and pissing it all away[assuming the girl is the only child]. also it isnt unheard of for future sons in law to agree compound surnames and the kids to still bear their grandfather's name. this is particularly true of wealthy families. still very 2010, and very european/american
signing of prenup is now included in this fantasy? huh

so wealthy males do not ask their fiancees to sign prenups or what are you saying.






dayokanu:
The fact is that parents look forward to their kids being like them.

A man would love to have a son who would grow up to be like him, In him you would see a younger you.

If the man has a business, he looks forward to his son taking over his business. With daughters they might get married and not even live in the same Geographical location.

If you have a biz and your daughter was running it, when she gets married to a guy, In most cases the groom would decide where they would live and the daughter would have to move in with her husband.

Another point, female kids are usually more caring to the parents and a son might be carefree
