GIRL CHILDREN

THE AFRICAN MENTALITY- In Nigeria especially from where I come from, it is a taboo to have only female children. A woman who has only girl children has not sealed her place in her husband's home. Instead of thanking God for giving him children, an african man would rather gripe and complain forgetting that there are people who do not have children at all.
Women are blamed for giving birth to only female children and some husbands would gladly break the home than accept only girl children.

THE USE OF GIRLS-  But women play an important role in society and in nation building. Countless of  women have contributed significantly to the development of our country. I need not mention names or state categorically that women are human beings just like men and should be treated fairly.

THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM-The technology is available and should be used by families who find themselves in that situation. And if it fails, adopt a little boy and close the gap. A lot of people in the world have bigger problems so it is in fact no problem at all.

The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
