Abbeyme:
The Supreme Court has voided the Igbo law and custom, which forbid a female from inheriting her late father’s estate, on the grounds that it is discriminatory and conflicts with the provision of the constitution.

The court held that the practice conflicted with section 42(1)(a) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution. The judgment was on the appeal marked: SC.224/2004 filed by Mrs. Lois Chituru Ukeje (wife of the late Lazarus Ogbonna Ukeje) and their son, Enyinnaya Lazarus Ukeje against Mrs. Cladys Ada Ukeje (the deceased’s daughter).

Cladys had sued the deceased’s wife and son before the Lagos High Court, claiming to be one of the deceased’s children and sought to be included among those to administer their deceased’s father’s estate.

The trial court found that he was a daughter to the deceased and that she was qualified to benefit from the estate of their father who died intestate in Lagos in1981.

The Court of Appeal, Lagos to which Mrs. Lois Ukeje and Enyinnaya Ukeje appealed, upheld the decision of the trail court, prompting them to appeal to the Supreme Court.
In its judgment last Friday, the Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal, Lagos was right to have voided the Igbo’s native law and custom that disinherit female children.

Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, who read the lead judgment, held that “no matter the circumstances of the birth of a female child, such a child is entitled to an inheritance from her later father’s estate.

“Consequently, the Igbo customary law, which disentitles a female child from partaking in the sharing of her deceased father’s estate is breach of Section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution, a fundamental rights provision guaranteed to every Nigerian.

“The said discriminatory customary law is void as it conflicts with Section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution. In the light of all that I have been saying, the appeal is dismissed. In the spirit of reconciliation, parties to bear their own costs,” Justice Rhodes-Vivour said.

Justices Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, Claral Bata Ogunbiyi, Kumai Bayang Aka’ahs and John Inyang Okoro, who were part of the panel that heard the appeal, agreed with the lead judgment.

DUDE NIGERIA HAS NO FUTURE. TO COEXIST WITH PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CULTURE AND FAITH REQUIRES RESPECT, YORUBAS HAVE NONE.


THEY ARE DECEIVERS. U HAVE CREATED A SITUATION WHERE THOSE GIRLS WILL BE MURDERED OVER PROPERTY.


LEARN TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE CULTURE IT IS THEIR FOR A REASON. WOMEN MOVE ON CHANGE NAME, WAT BUSINESS DOES SHE HAVE WITH HER FATHER PROPERTY.


THE CHOICE IS FOR THE FATHER NOT SUPREME COURT. IN IGBOLAND A FATHER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE HIS DAUGHTER A GIFT NOT INHERITANCE.

OILSOUP:



AFTER MY SONS MUST HAVE TAKEN OVER WITH MY FULL CONSENT? UNLESS I DID NOT RAISE HER, WILL SHE DARE.


ANYWAY TODAY NEWSPAPER IS TOMORROW TOILET PAPER, NOBODY WILL FOLLOW A YORUBA DECEIVER OVER OUR CUSTOM AND TRADITION.


OUR CUSTOM WILL BE FOLLOWED TO THE LATTER.

Why bring the Yorubas in? Why have the Yoruba men not killed their own sisters over their father's property?

My father bought his plots of land in Lagos from a Yoruba woman way back in the 70's and even encouraged my father to get more igbos to buy land from their family.

Like l said earlier, humanity evolves..... so l take nothing personal!

Moreover this is more of properties in the urban areas not in the village!

And to the lands in the village she is nt getting anything out of it. For the so called Law, is it d judge dt will tell me hw to share my property, if I decide to dash it a passerby it's my business, if I give my 1st son d sole right to share it d way he wants my business too

OILSOUP:

MR BODE, IGBOS CANNOT DISOBEY THEIR ANCESTOR AND FOLLOW A YORUBA DECEIVER.

ARE YORUBA AND IGBO THE SAME? ARE IGBOS NOW PRACTISING YORUBA CULTURE?

MAN U YORUBAS NEED TO GET SOME RESPECT AND DISTANCE BEFORE WE HAVE A SERIOUSLY VIOLENT CONFLICT.

U ARE STEPPING ON OUR TOES, SHOW SOME RESPECT. NOBODY WILL ANSWER THAT COURT AND ITS JUDGEMENT.

U FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS US, THE IGBOMEN AND THEIR FATHER THAT HAVE CHOSEN TO EXCLUDE THEM.

WE DONT WANT THEM INHERITING OUR PROPERTY. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING BIG AS A GIFT, EVEN LAND BUT NOT INHERITANCE THAT IS FOR MY WIFE AND SONS.

Lols! Soon all outdated barbaric laws and customs will be put into the trash can of history including the bible and it's teachings.

orimsamsam:
keep quite. Ur tradition is backward. Wht exactly is wrong with a female child.

That. The reason the yorubas will always be greater than u. We don't segregate GEnder.

In the West we have taking control of her father company judiciously

OILSOUP:
AS LONG AS I HAVE GIVEN HER EDUCATION, LOVE AND CARE, TIME TO MARRY SHE CAN INHERIT HER HUSBAND, IF SHE WANT TO INHERIT FROM ME, SHE SHOULD FORGET MARRIAGE AND BECOME MY WIFE.



WE CAN DO IT LIKE THE YORUBAS AND START HAVING SEX WITH OUR DAUGHTERS. ERRANT NONSENSE.



NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE SCREAMING BIAFRA, A YORUBA WANT TO USE SUPREME COURT TO FORCE OUR DAUGHTERS INTO INHERITING FATHER PROPERTY WEN BABALOJA AND MAMALOJA ARE STILL EXTORTING MONEY AND KILLING TRADERS IN LAGOS.

orimsamsam:
baba die first without a written will and see if the court won't decide ur case

Pavore9:


What makes you think you are more igbo than me?

Whose crooked toes am l stepping on?

My agreeing with your views does not increase my chances of making heaven, so why should l?

Better make sure you are alive till the next 100 years to make sure no igbo daughter inherit any property from her late father's estate!

and watch how the girl dies too. The land of kindred, no woman has right over it. The supreme court only pointed to bought by the the parents not the kindred land.

Great, So when her father dies Amadioha says she cannot inherit his property and her brothers will gleefully deprive her of her inheritance, she does not complain, she moves on and meets an Igbo guy, the guy dies, husband people comes, wash the dead body and put in a bowl, gives the woman to drink, she has to sleep in the same room with her husband's corpse for three days to prove her innocence, if innocent, the send her packing from their brother's house into the abyss. Are Igbo girls the Usu I have been hearing about? I laugh like Ikenga (dry skeletal laugh)

OILSOUP:



U ARE NOT IGBO AND STOP PLAYING TO THE GALLERY. NIGERIA CAN END ANYTIME, U KNOW THIS.


LAST US CALL THIS PERIOD LAST ROUND OF LESSON FOR IGBOS TO TAKE AWAY WITH THEM TO BIAFRA.


ONE THING IS CERTAIN AND U CAN BET UR LIFE ON IT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRACTICE OUR CUSTOMS.


AS LONG AS WE ARE IGBOS.
