Crazy how Africans are always planning for their death. And when death finally comes they are scared to dead.

People will get married because they want to have children not because they love them, but because it is time. These children are supposed to care for them at old age before they die and inherit their properties after they are dead.

Sometimes, they will only have female children, Then, there will be big problems because there is no one to take their name after death. ( I heard there is even prayer point for this now). This fact alone will make their lives and that of their partners miserable for a lifetime.

A women that continuously made female children is doomed. These men however, don't know that it is not the women but them that is doing it. So, this is now a reason to abandon the wife and go for another women to have the golden male child. Now you have a divided family.

The big problem is, the man doesn't even have a house yet to be inherited. So he will now have to do everything he can to build one. work hard, steal, blackmail etc. Sometimes, that will get him into more troubles and even make him more miserable. He will spend all his time pursuing money to take care of these children and as soon as he has some money, send them to school in far away countries to get a better education. Because he wants them to be successful after his death.

So one day, he finally gets the long awaited news, if he is lucky that the death he was always preparing for has now arrived. Then he wondered what has he done with his life.

After he finally dies and buried, his children will start fighting over the inheritance, most of them will end up never speaking with each other again. What an achievement!

Then the sons will repeat the same circle again.

So if you are a male reading this, please put an end to this madness, you will have a much happier life. Trust me.

In the eyes of God
But man ....

In Africa male child is more important because they allow the man generation to continue while the females marry another man, change their surname and become a member of another family.

Even the Bible and Quran emphasize male child as superior to female child.

And how do they continue the generation without a womb?

In India there are still more men than women today because baby girls were killed back in the days. This leaves a lot of men without women

That name thing is a Western culture and unafrican besides Muslims don't change their names and as a woman your father's name can be retained as a middle name(if you are Christian) after marriage.

I don't think it's a name thing rather people needed more males to work on their farms in the past and in some tribes they pass on inheritance to males but other tribes give both genders(male/female) our law supports the later , also women now own properties and control wealth which is good for girls. Right now most normal families want both males and females (it's also prayed for during weddings). These things are personal, to each his own, whatever rocks your boat.
