Austin Faani, filmmaker and husband to Nollywood actress ChaCha Eke, has revealed what Nigerian women pass through when searching for a male child.

Taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday to call on Nigeria Ministry of women affairs, the movie producer explained that searching for a male child can cause a Nigeria woman severe mental illness, thus there’s need to serious sensitisation.

Austin Faani wrote, “Having only female children & searching for a male child can cause a woman severe mental illness in Nigeria.

“Nigeria Ministry of women affairs should find ways to sensitize these women. An information relief of sort, therapy maybe for both the man and the woman. Shalom.”

Reacting to his post, a fan asked him to also consider a childless woman and advise them accordingly.

In response, Austin Faani said: Everyone suffers one thing or another, some are broke, some are sick, some are childless etc.

“I shared an assertion on women with only female children in Nigeria. These women need to be re-educated that a male or female child is an equal blessing from God for a definite purpose and not the purpose of their(ignorant women) emotional attachment to the gender. I have a private ideology about female children that I can share with you.

Which is; “Female children have more emotional transaction with their parents than the male children and when you grow old, what you need most is emotional transaction not financial transaction. You can take care of yourself at old age if you make the right decision in your youth. Nigerian women need to be taught a lot just as they are taught to always pray. “
