The late father obviously knew the tradition bt didn't want to leave his daughters stranded hence his will bt the emmy guy is quite greedy or does he have smtn against his sisters and even if they are still ur sisters. He shud respect his fathers wishes. Simple 1 Like |

bigpicture001: So the problem is with the double inheritance both from the parents and husband. What if I say where I come from as a female traditionally you are entitled to inherit(anything inheritable including lands) both from your father, your mother(if she has personal properties) and then your husband and we seem not to have a problem with it. As a matter of fact there really is no basis for the "first son" phrase I see people throwing up and down.A lot of evil people his under culture of I am the first son to wreak havoc even to their elder sisters. What we tend not to understand is this is why once you don't have a son in some cultures there is a problem, that's why the boy child is given more preference that the female child, that's why women from those areas seem not fulfilled until they have a male because they know those females are not recognized traditionally and can't get much recognition from their fathers, the evil uncles then swoop in to take everything. Simply amazing. 2 Likes |

NoToPile:....no even uncle chase a gal away from her father's house when her mum and herself are still alive. no village traditional ruler will accept that. yes they will eventually take the property of thier brother but that is when the gal marries away and the wife of the deceased is dead. |

Mynd44:...my problem with the judgement is that it enters into the igbo traditional culture too ddeep and leave no space for traditional laws to take its place...make a survey of the judges of the supreme court and yo will find no igbo person dia...does it mean,they understand and should make laws for a large majority tribe in nigeria without thier concept...? a law that defines the people....who protested against laws against female genital mutilation..no one,who protested against law against drinking of husbands dead body water to prove ur innocence after his death by the widow..nobody..but to go deep into what makes a people and tell them u know it more than them is wrong...every other tribes law should also b abolished so we all become american...who just the ibgos...now I understand nnamdi kanu better |

bigpicture001: Dafuq? The constitution is meant to protect the citizens. Laws are made for humans not the reverese and the moment a law is anti-people, that ish gotta go. How can you wake up and say a daughter cannot get part of her father's estate? Her own father. If the man had left a will and left all his estate to his son or sons, that is a different case but he left no will and you think you can corner it, take away her rights as a human to be loved and cared for by her parent? Please swerve. Women already go through enough crap as it is, having to bother about nonsense like her own father's inheritance should not happen in 2017. That culture was one bourne out of selfishness and that has been corrected. If you dont like it, go to the UN to appeal 4 Likes |

Mynd44:..pkease read about nigerian customary laws or traditional laws...if a court comes to a crossroad in d ubderstanding of any traditional law..it invites the rulers if that land to interpret what is obtainable in that land...and with that so long as thier is no heavy deviation from values of the culture and justice...they will stand by the traditional....that was exactly how I had 2more younger brothers...because ma elder sis married a man without him paying the traditional dowry..wen sh left him and came bak home with the 3sons...sh had with him, he came bak flying for the kids...then the court asked him if he was married to to lady..he answers in affirmative and ma dad decline a marriage happened..hat he only brought drinks and showed interest cuz nd didn't do the ryt cuz d gal was already pregnat..so he felt he's hit the family bellow the belt line and took the gal home. the ruler was called in to explain what a marriage really is..since no other form of marriage was done..then he said marage is only done when the dowry of 65naira is paid to the family of the gal..the rest of the fanfare is unimportant to the tradition..then the court ruled him as the biological father of the child but the child would bear the family name of the want away wife..if her dad so pleases...and the children be indegines according to the tradition of the gals place of origin be called indegines if that place..that was how I got two younger brothers...dou he still visits to familiarise with the children |

bigpicture001:Dude, you do not have two younger brothers, you have two nephews. Your sister was taken to a customary court, if he had appealled in a federal high/appeal/Supreme court, his paternal rights will be restored. He does not have the right to call himself your sister's husband but he is the father of the children please dont get it wrong. If he pushes it higher, another landmark judgement will be made and your customary laws on parternal rights will be cancelled. 1 Like |

Mynd44:..does the supreme court now know more than the dead father..?..ok..i get you..the supreme court like's the gal more than the dead father..?the family land we liv in currently was singled out and giving to ma dad by his dad when he not even up to 10 years old..of course his dad was not literate so couldn't understand what a will is..this happens in th late 70's...but he still got the land..a land that us twice as big as that of the first son..now ask Hw was his instructions adheres to even without a will..he med elderly neighours..and told them who will own the land..he took his first son and told him who will own the land..he took his wife..ma grand mother and told him who will own the land..and at last ma dad himself and told who will own the land..dou he is small...that way he's made an unwritten will..those things he did..was not anytime near his dying stage..he just made it clear...the same way a recent village based father would do..if he want to favour his daughter...pls ma man..dont try to know more than the dead man knows..even as foolish as they are..they still know Hw to pass down instructions and make it happen. ..what am saying is that the supreme court is acting like the creators of the cultures of the people and behaves as if he created does and will judge these cultures... please ask anybody of a town in anambra called "ogidi" that the town china achebe and Bob Manuel ndokwu are from...the ruling of courts on the tulle of traditional rulership has lead to the death of more than five court enthroned kings..without violence...the town has not had a king for close to 20years..because of the courts thinks they know too much..nobody disputes thier judgement..nobody kills the kings but they die in a month..its is so dangerous now that no body want to b king anymore there |

Jman06: The tradition is being abused by bad people that deliberately misinterpret them. It baffles me how ignorant of Igbo tradition most Igbos are. No Igbo tradition forbids daughters from inheriting their father's acquired wealth and properties as people believe. What the tradition talks about is the ancestral heritage which is passed down through generations including lands and cultural properties. I am sure the father never willed any of the ancestral lands and properties to his daughters but the son is angry because the Owerri and Onitsha properties are more valuable. 2ndly if a man doesn't have a son but has a single mum as daughter then the unmarried daughter can inherit the ancestral properties as the lineage continues with her offsprings. Igbo culture gives room for that. Igbos traditionally live in compounds bearing single surname like Amadi for example. Someone bearing Okoro cannot be found living in Amadi compound because his mother inherited a piece of Amadi land. He will be sent back to Okoro compound where he comes from. 3 Likes |
