Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by Nobody: 7:14pm On Oct 31, 2011
Do people prefer male babies first? That's news to me. I don't have any preference, all I pray for is a healthy child.

For the responsibility that will fall on him and the relief of getting the family lineage going.
In some societies, the reverse is the case

Somebody that will keep the family name going. It is believed traditionally that female childern will marry and change their maiden name.

Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by ImaIma1(f): 1:44pm On Nov 01, 2011
because many men and families want a male child to continue d lineage.and so women naturally have rest of mind when they hv a boy.

It happens due to the African belief of Lineage, Heir, and Father-Figure. The average African Man is a Chauvinist. Thing are fast changing now, whether girl or boy, a child is a child.

Dats why i appreciate the Yorubas, anyone God gives them is Ok, but the Igbos, they are bent on having male child whereby the wife could not give any, they marry second wife. is it not what the give the woman, the woman produces in return? Abeg next topic. embarassed
Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by AmakaG29(f): 3:23pm On Nov 01, 2011
I would want a son primarily to please my husband. Most men want sons to fulfill some desire to see their names carried on. I understand and respect it. I know I want a daughter because of the special relationship I would have with her. It's not wrong as long as you love all of your children. I actually want both sexes so I can know the joys of both. Healthy children are the most important goal I have.

Your thinking process is a worry. I can safely say your tribe should cast you out, least you taint them, and give everyone the impression your tribesmen are all like you.

You why dey ask which one you get ? Which one u like ?

The sex preference thing is due to our culture. Don't ask futher please !!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by Basildon1(m): 5:41pm On Nov 01, 2011
it obviously does not mean the female child is not good, lol.

I think it is just traditional sentiments - knowing that there a future man of the house to keep the surname going.

Your dry brain cells did not warn you, u were going to slight people with ur first comment and for the records u don't sound mature enough to decipher mature comments from immature comments. Next time before you make any comment u would read through the lines.

Stating an opinion is one thing, adding a tribalist slant in a lame attempt to bolster those opinions is unacceptable. And if you can't see anything wrong with your method, then my reasoning you here is a waste of my time. I'd probably get more response if I addressed a hole in a wall, or the back of a bus.

Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by ronkebp(f): 7:02pm On Nov 01, 2011
For me, i wanted a girl, my hubby wanted a boy, and he won, so it is all about preference, moreso naturally if you have 2 of the samething, you would want another gender for the third, be it first or last born.

So u mean God prefers a male child to a female abi? I think u posted this from a remand home.
Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by Mavor: 8:54am On Nov 02, 2011
There is evidence to show that all the sons of God (angels) are male beings of light. God himself and his Divine Son are male beings. Adam was meant to be alone, but God created Eve as an after-thought due to Adam's loneliness. Check the bible all ye doubters. I am not a male chauvinist, just stating fact.

Poster, I guess you are a male as your profile suggests so that just answered your question.

cheesy
Re: Why Do People Like To Have Male Child As First Born? by amtheone(m): 10:05am On Nov 02, 2011
@poster

Its Africa way of thinking, most especially in Nigeria. They believe that its only male child that can kip the family flag on, but its not true as we have seen in many cases that male and female are equal.

First Born? First Child
