True.. Africans, mostly, Igbos don't really regard the importance of female children. Their mindset is that - they would train the female child for another man's family to enjoy.

Whereas their male child would marry a female to have kids with and continue the family name. Being a traditional man and looking at it from the customs and traditions of where I'm from, I think the concept is substantiated, but one thing I don't agree with
One thing I don't agree with is that they treat females as "less" because they think a female child would not bring glory, honour to the family and continue the family's name. I think everyone should be treated fairly and equally no matter where they are.
Speak of fair treatment, have you ever heard of "Woman and big nyash advantage?" It's easier for a woman (with or without big nyash) to get something whereas it's very difficult for a man to get the same thing.
Lol 😂.... First time coming across that term, though I won't doubt the effectiveness of that in certain situations 🤦🏼♀️.
Indeed, everyone should. Same regard, recognition and respect ought to enjoyed by both genders.
That a female's children doesn't bear her family's name doesn't blur out the fact that they are yet, her parents' grandchildren.
I heard that a lot too but in dramas sha, that a woman's education ends in the kitchen. A poor mindset, I must say.
I hate that mindset and I don't support it. Women are more capable than we can imagine
