Cantonese:
The Igbos are always very honest and forthright. This practice is not limited to the Igbos only. It is an African culture.

Generally women are not expected to take their family'wealth to their husband's home. The general belief is that the wealth of the lady's family would be diminished while her husband's family would be made richer.

Anyone from other parts of Nigeria who makes irresponsible comments against the Igbos about this age long African culture simple deceives himself or herself.

Women are generally treated as second class citizens in Africa and this attitude.must stop. Some fathers try to circumvent this be sharing their wealth among their children while they are alive.

Our courts are filled with such cases without respect to tribe and religion. Among the northerners, do the women even have rights at all? A man marries more than four wives and treats.the whole women including his daughters as nobody. Where are the rights of the southwest women in this matter. Even the educated carry without caring about women in their homes.

The supreme court made the right judgement. Let's celebrate this sound judgement and liberation of our women.

righteousness89:
Am an Igbo, I support that every female should have right to their father's property.

My daughters will have right to my property.

Anybody against it is just plain s.tupid.

MrColdsweat:
You yarribastards have killed the thread with your Igbo hate.

The reason why this is so, is because by getting married, a woman shares her husbands inheritance.

If a woman is allowed to have inheritance, she will take inheritance from her father, and still share her husband's inheritance.

BabaRamota1980:
They want to rule Nigeria but in 2020 still treating women as second class citizens, denying women from inheritance. Very backward people. No Ibo will rule this country in 2023.

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.

And one idiot will come here spilling trash about Biafra. Is this the nonsense misogynist trash we will carry on with when we divide, if true then the so called Biafra will crumble like a car put together with chewing gum, if you take them on it they will start screaming. I come from an igbo home so I know how bad it is, the way they made my sister do everything then make it seem like I was entitled never actually occurred to me until later, though my father did not allow it my mother (a woman oh can you imagine) engineered it. Chai, let us stop behaving barbaric and change for shit's sakes, my grandson even told me that in our village women are not allowed to sell land tufia.

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

Kpartners:

Very soon one of this backward people go buy your papa house, take the land build plaza, and it will happen soon. Mpama

udemzyudex:


Don't mind them, it's so annoying, when a man have only female children, after his death the family member will take over everything and leave the family with nothing.

It's crazy.

AFONJAPIG:
Only if the woman will retain her father's name and forget about marriage and can have children outside wedlock just to retain the father's name.. Afamefula... All these Afonja judges and their kangaroo judgment Will be strike out when we restore sovereignty State of Biafra

pocohantas:


I won’t follow them to any useless Biafra. It is better I jump into the Mediterranean.

I always tell my brother that the reason he is even different is because we were not brought up at home. Plus I no even give am chance and my aunty sef wey be feminist from the womb dey give am sliding tackle steady. Na two of us follow wash plate and beans. Nonsense

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


Apart from Yoruba, there are other African culture 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.

alexistaiwo:
This issue goes deeper than you people think.


The elders who made this age long tradition of exempting the Igbo female child from inheritance did so because they know that after extorting her husband of astronomical amount of money during her wedding process, the husband will be able to recoup his wedding expenses with profit if his wife inherit anything from her family since whatever she owns is by extension also his.



You think yahoo yahoo started with Internet age?

ThatFairGuy1:
This is good. Any culture that violates the right of humanity Should be do away with.
That's why all those Oro in some part of Yorubaland Should not expect women to be indoor because of their rituals. THIS IS NOT STONE AGE
