Exactly this thread was just an excuse to insult igbo people.

Now every Yorubas that has been saying hateful things about igbos now cares for igbo women more than igbo men....lol

chatinent:


I wasn't encouraging tribalism.

You are welcome.

AmazonTopaz:

@bold,I am igbo and you are so right I cannot marry an Igbo man.I agree with all you have said.

omooba969:
Igbo women are gorgeous walahi ...but one would expect their men to show due consideration in this modern age.

Verily, their men need to stop wearing that red cap & head warmer coz it's proven by WHO that those head coverings prevent good reasoning/judgement especially in our tropical region.

Alaska90:



Very evil and wicked culture..... I think you should encourage your mother to take legal action

Chienex24:
.

Thank youuuuu!!!. You deserve a deep kiss for this!!

Distributing wealth and properties can easily be stated in a man's will. No big deal!!

But this our government is simply hypocritical sort of when we compare their actions between the north & south. Sharia court sentenced a 13yr-old boy, a minor to jail, another to death but they did nothing even when our constitution is supreme to theirs...
Is it that currently, the North seems untouchable and nothing can be overturned??

herich:


How does your problem concern the public or concern the person you're (quoting)narrating your problem to.
Because this enemy you're narrating your problem to,,, will still use it against you. tomorrow, on this tribalistic forum, filled with hates. I doubt if you're even igbo, because no smart Igbo lady that can make this comment in a national public forum.

Has your mom and aunt not thought about going to court?

Rutherford2019:


I wanted to take up the case but many old people in the village warned me that if I win in court theycan follow the other way to eliminate me like my grandfather...I mean charm
And besides I lack the financial capability to follow up such case

PureFace1:



Typical Nyamirin Osu Igbo which pacesetting is this one talking about now?

Always trying to brag over nothing like an empty barrel. You sure talk big as an inferior and insecure Osu

PerseDew:
Good thing Ms Gladys took this matter to court. When it pains the most is when the daughter(s) have literally nothing in terms of a job or a business and you will see men like the king that was threatening chaos insisting on the lady getting nothing but they will be the first to flip out if she wears uncovers her hair in church or does not attend the town's women meeting. But why will she do so when she sees that her interests as a woman are not covered or what else is the essence of such meetings if not to protect your right as an indigene of the town and in turn ensure progressive growth of the town.


These same men that oppose judgement in favour of Ms. Gladys will start quoting bible when a woman does wears does not cover hair in church or wears trousers. But they can never see the part in the bible where God changed the laws of inheritance for the five daughters of Zelophehad to inherit their father's property. The same goes for igbo men of God that know about this issue of females inheriting nothing but would rather ignore and encourage penniless ladies to continue praying for jobs, husband or wealth to fall on her husband when her portion of inheritance could go a long way in changing her status.

rabzy:


This is not true, if the first son performs the burial rites , then he can inherit hereditary titles and the house where the father lived and died. If the man has no sons, then the eldest daughter inherits the house but not the title. The title goes to the next of kin of the man. Any other property would be shared amongst the children not male and female. Any child born out of wedlock who is not known in the household i.e whose mother did not cook for the man in the house is disinherited, but the son is brought into the house and the man affirms that he is his son, then he can get inheritance. You can also not disown a known son without performing some rites.

Mr Nwankwo, I'm not going to insult the Igbo tribe because of a mentally deficient and vacuous minded soul like you.


You think spelling the word Yoruba as yarriba means anything? I it can only mean something to people like you who are yet to develop a useable medulla oblongata.


The only people I pity are the Igbo women who have to put up with chauvinist cretins like you who see the women as commodity to be bartered at weddings.


The Igbo culture treats it's women abysmally.


Non inheritance by females is despicable.


The treatment of widows is appalling.


Selling of your daughter to a man because you managed to send her to higher institution is a cavalier attitude.


No wonder the average Igbo lady would rather marry a Yoruba man. I don't blame them though.


You can dance zanku on my mentions all you like, I won't be responding to your juvenile rants after this.

Swanzi:



Pls don’t be a hypocrite are u not aware there’s a sharia court in the north ...?

webizone:


"And if a man dies, AND LEAVES NO SON, then the daughters gets the inheritance. And if he LEAVES NO DAUGHTERS, then it's shared amongst his brothers."

You deliberately left that part. But I am not against the daughters getting something though.

tot:
Why can't people simply make wills? That would have the final say over any custom.

ABELKIDO:
.

What about Sharia law in the north that condemned someone to death of whom Nigeria constitution didn't condem .

FrLukas:


You are absolutely wrong.


Just limit your observations to Igbo culture please.


Relegating women to the background is NOT a general African culture.


I am Yoruba and I know that women are highly revered in Yoruba culture.


Go and read of the likes of Efunsetan, Moremi etc. Yorubas have many goddesses that they worship and revere like Osun, Oba, Yemoja, Oya etc.


Apart from Yoruba, there are other African cultures that the female takes pride of place.

There's one in east Africa where the women are the ones that choose the men they want to marry and they are allowed to do away with the men and marry another one when they are tired of them. Etc.

Dickeyrider:
Igbos are not tolerant yet they want biafra. I have never seen a tribe more confused

AFvckingAlpha:


It is your father that is confused.

No matter what is decided, a typical Igbo man will not regard it.

THE AVERAGE IGBO MAN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DAUGHTER HAVE A CLEAR DIVIDE LINE.


DAUGHTERS ARE NEVER MISTAKEN FOR WIVES.


I WILL PAY YOUR SCHOOL FEES, GIVE YOU POCKET MONEY, FEED, HOUSE AND CLOTH YOU UNTIL U FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.


MY PROPERTIES ARE FOR YOUR MOTHER AND MY WIFE.


WITH YOU HAPPILY MARRIED, WEN MY WIFE PASS, THEY GO TO MY SON, WITH THE EXEMPTION THAT I SPECIFICALLY GIFTED YOU MAYBE A HOUSE OR A CAR OR MONEY IN MY WILL.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
One of my grand aunties had a will before she died. Her grown up son's refused to to follow the will because their mother shared property to allbher children both make and female. Note. Is was her property not thelat her husband left it for her. She worked for it herself.
It took 10yrs to settle the matter in court. People were staying free in the houses for all the 10yrs. These men saying women will to have a share in their mother's property didn't contribute to their mother's life or buriel. And they were not hungry men o. They had better property than what their mother left. The girls were the ones who took care of the woman.
They finally agreed as the women too refused to give up their own share.
Some people will still not accept their father's will if they feel it doesn't favour them.
If I have kids and they misbehave, I don't mind giving all my property to the criminal Federal government. Let them go and work for their own.

favor914:
What if the Son can’t be found, & is a Lunatic what happens? Let me guess the father’s brother will inherit the properties?

hammer8:


IF ONLY U KNOW HOW STUPID U LOOK ON FP, U WONT JUMP INTO OTHER PEOPLE CULTURAL MATTER, LIKE DAT.

NO IGBO FAMILY WILL GIVE INHERITANCE TO THEIR DAUGHTER, SHE IS MEANT TO FIND A HUSBAND AND NOT STAY AND MARRY HER FATHER FOR INHERITANCE, WHICH BELONGS TO HER MOTHER.

IF THEIR MOTHER PASS, IT GOES TO THE SONS OF THE LAND.

I AM TALKING ABOUT ANCESTRAL LAND.

HOWEVER, MONEY AND OTHER STUFF, SHE CAN INHERIT.
