The same useless Supreme Court that made uzodinma ,an unpopular candidate a governor, is who I will listen to against my wise n knowledgeable fore fathers.
Waste of time,even the so called women you favoured knows it’s a judgement in futility. Imagine handing over my fathers land in the village to my elder sister who got married to a man from Edo state.God forbid she dies , so the Supreme Court are telling me that an Edo man been her husband will now come to my village n take over my fathers land..... lol I laugh in Swahili

Just leave those descendants of fallen demon, I blame their empty skull forefathers.

Yoruba don’t disinherit their daughters and make them destitute. They always have a place to stay as long as there is a family house. Plus it makes them empowered so that no man will maltreat or kill them. It is Yoruba men that created this culture to protect their daughters. What Igbo men choose for their daughters is their problem, but it’s rather unfortunate. As for you, never ever put your daughter at such a disadvantage in life and to the mercy of a stranger you call son-in law.

You will not like what will happen to your daughter and grand children should she fall in wrong hands. You can also will her the property or buy property that will be hers that is not ancestral to protect her and train her to have a survivorship clause where it goes to her children and never the husband.

I have properties from my father and all those properties will go to my girl children and males too. But the girls will have more. I am training them too to pass it on to their girls too, 2:1 female:male grandkids.

I know of so many women in my community and maternal home,,, who did not marry or had marital problem,,, that lives in their father's or late father's house, still cultivate in their father's land.
My maternal grandpa's house with about 12, with a very specious sitting room is lying empty, if my mum decides to make use of some of the rooms,,, no one will challenge her.(some rooms are occupied by my uncles cousins) my uncles have their own mansions,,, both in village and cities. My fathers house is lying empty, if my sisters lives their husbands house to base their,, what's my concern,, every young Igbo man is striving hard to build his own empire and not be waiting for one bedroom flat or one self-contained he will inherit from his father.
That is what many able men are doing in south west and south south,,, they'll be jobless and be waiting to collect house rent from just two rooms they inherited from their father and that will be their only source of income, next is to harass and extort money from non indigenes.

To all the Nairaland men who spoke up against this devilish Igbo cultures that subjects their women to nothing regardless of tribe, I applaud you all. Today I'm proud to be a Nairalander. I've come to realize that we still have Nigerian men with a lot of conscience and civilization.
Let me shock you guys more, that tradition is the least of traditions that put Igbo women in the position of dogs . In most igbo families, women have been conditioned mentally to believe that a woman has no say in the family regardless of the situation. I mean literarily in everything. You are meant to speak when spoken to and just obey the men in the house. For instance , in an extended family , your husbands cousins who are younger than you have the right to talk you down or shut you up and all you have to do is swallow it and keep shut all because you are a woman . Any day you decide to speak up , you become an evil woman and would be reprimanded by all and sundry including your fellow women because psychological they have being made to accept that life style as normal. The Igbos are really backward in thinking even those whom you thought went to school .

In-between I'm an Igbo woman and equally married to an Igbo man in Mbaise . My people, even my husband couldn't believe all the nonsense , senseless and useless traditions he heard during his father's burial . Imagine your father's uncles, cousins and relatives telling you as a grown man that you can not decide on how to bury your father until they approve it . It was hell but I had to show them that not all women would be caged up.
Igbo women are really suffering in their marriages to Igbo men. Problems of extended families and all these devilish traditions should really be looked into. These women would go through hell , only for their children to grow up and continue from where their uncles stopped in oppressing women.
It's really sad.

IGBO MEN DO GIVE THEIR DAUGHTERS GIFT IN THEIR WILL BUT NEVER INHERITANCE.
Stop lying abeg.
They give inheritance and the law of the land permits them to inherit stop using big words like gods of any land even you yourself does not even acknowledge such.

Funny

Igbo Traditions differ in different igbo lands


Okosisi itodo opposed because he knew very well that Enugu Ezike women will not try to fight for land.

Igwe Nnamani agreed because iheaka don't have a strong tradition

Likewise paully Eze, knew that obukpa people don't have a strong tradition like that of Enugu Ezike people.

Well the law is for rich igbo women that can afford a lawyer.


I don't have a problem with women inheriting properties.

My uncle had 8 girls and he's late now.

The daughters have been relegated. I have called them severally to come so we can go to court and challenge why the got no land but they never showed up.
It seems that is the mentality they brainwash their ladies with not to fight for their properties or maybe the women have something better and they don't need it.
Very backward tradition

I laugh in Odenigbo.

What they have refused not saying here is that whenever an Igbo lady gets married, the father settles her with her own inheritance as she goes into her husband's house and bears a new surname. I've seen Igbo men settle their daughters with houses, estates, cars, and other valuable properties as she goes into her husbands house. My mom was settled by her family with 2 ladies motorcycle in the days when owners of white horse bicycles were respected. Teachers and civil servants rode bicycles to work then.

It is the husband that marries the woman and her post-marital inheritance lies in her husband's domain no longer in her father's house. Her mother's inheritance is also hers in Igbo custom.

What the law will simply encourage is for criminal minded men to marry ladies from wealthy families so as to share in the largess and wealth of their father-in-laws and confront brother-in-laws for properties that they were not present when the 'sweat laid the bricks'. Chaos!

The yoruba Judge simply read an academic note not a judgment. He is not ethnically-wired to understand the nittygritty of that customary law and why wise elders of Igbo land enacted it thousands of years before his forefathers were born.

The law is deeper than quoting paper sections and subsections, it is unimplementable. You can't force Igbo men to will their properties into another family where their daughters are married into after settling the daughter with her own share of the family properties when they she got married.

If you right in your will that your daughter and yoruba husband to take over your mansion in the village, nobody will fight it. But if you die intestate, the community will not allow your daughter bring in strangers to desecrate their land, that's you are really Igbo.

The government owns the community and there is nothing the community will do to stop the court from implementing it's own judgment.

stop watching too much AfricanMagic, it's not good to your mental reasoning.
If you believed all that you see on TV then you'll all believe that cobwebs actually came out from spider man's body,
If you believed everything you see on the TV, you'll actually believe that America has developed a teletransporting or invisible vehicles on other science related fictional movies.
All are imaginations.
You can also believe that money rituals actually makes one rich as in the case of Pete Edochie,
You guys called him a ritualist.

Lol that was why I never believed them in the first place.

But this thread is exactly the same as the scenario in the movies and that was why I made mention of the movies I’ve watched.

Try to advise your people to stop those archaic culture. Read this to them at the village square:
“ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”

Your women deserves the best too, the deserve the right to inheritance!
