A Nigerian man reportedly abandoned his wife in the hospital because she gave birth to another female child when he wanted a male child.
A Lagos-based nurse and midwife, identified simply as Kaykay, made this revelation on microblogging platform, Twitter, on Friday March 31.
According to Kaykay, the man has failed to show up at the hospital to see his wife and daughter for three days since she put to bed.
The nurse, who was disappointed in the man, said she does not believe a man would still blame his wife for having all female children in this generation.
“I can’t believe in this day and age some Nigerian men still don’t know that having all female kids isn’t the woman’s fault…that’s how this man hasn’t come to see his wife in the hospital since she gave birth 3 days ago because she had another girl,” she tweeted.
