Giving birth to a girl is better than a boy in this generation – Playwright Uncle Ebo Whyte insists

Ghana’s finest contemporary playwright, Uncle Ebo Whyte has asserted that giving birth to a female is better off than a male in our contemporary times.

He explained the historical situations that made the need for male children a necessity in the olden days.

Uncle Ebo Whyte in an interview on TV3 NewDay pointed out that in the olden days, power was might, and that tended to make people price the prowess of a male child over a female child.

“In the days when they were intertribal wars, we needed men for wars. So, a male child was another soldier. A male child was an insurance policy to ensure that this community would be able to hold its own. And we forget that what the role of law has brought to us is that my property is my property.”

According to Uncle Ebo Whyte, daughters have proven themselves to be more reliant and dependable than men. He always gives instances where daughters have stepped up in responsibilities that do not necessarily need muscle power.

“I have always told my adopted sons that given a chance, I would choose a daughter over a son, any day. Because daughters apart from being sweer, they never leave home. Daughters make sure parents are well catered for all their life whether they have the means or not. They pay attention.

“If we are able to equip those girls. If we were able to enable them to become the best that they can be. You would never know pain and suffering for the rest of your life.”

As a reminder, Uncle Ebo Whyte is a Ghanaian playwright, author and motivational speaker. He is the artistic director and lead writer at Roverman Productions and has written and directed over 45 plays for the stage since 2008.
