They still end up selling there daughters. Chai. I pity Igbo women. But maybe that's why Igbo women are leeches

LaboPolitics:


yoruba were rejoicing because they want to a leeway to still Igbo men properties by marrying Igbo daughters and insult Igbo customs which even settle Igbo daughters with properties upon marriage. Kolewerk!

Let the same yoruba SC judge Bode Rhodes-Vivour also make a judgment that women in yorubaland have the right to Oba of Lagos, Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo.

If he won't do it, I'm sure an Igbo judge or Hausa judge will be glad to do so, since both men and women are now culturally equal in law.

This one is just an idiot. In Yoruba land, there are Regents who are female. You are a stark illiterate and a myopic fellow who is not exposed.

Inherit what exactly?

2 palm trees and thached house?

Rich and educated Igbo men will properties and money to their daughters. I have seen many of such. My uncle’s wife inherited a building and money from her late dad.

As a make you are entitled to his property. What were you doing?

I was just a kid as of then

Who get that kind strength to read all that story... Igbos are Jewish and can never recognize female children as heir..

kurupt1:

Sharrap my friend! Ur amongst the people that are making these women more stupid and entitled.
An igbo woman usually gets anything but ancestral property and Igbos have a reason for this.its a culture and not subjugation

It is your mother, your sister, your daughter and the women in your family who are stupid and entitled. Bush animal.

SC or no SC..... Implementation will be difficult.

It doesn't look likely to work....topboss & ab0bi....You have said it all.

Which executors? Do you know the law?

Go and ask the Supreme Court if they know the law. I guess you know more than them. Sit here and be asking Idiotic questions.

Harmony92:
nobody is looking at it from dis angle b my frnd n her mum were thrown out of their axe after d death of her dad just because d mum didn't give birth to a male child.

Bro a lot of towns have laws against such act....the norm is if that happens, the dead man's family waits till d daughters marry off. And tthe deceased wife dies, or get very old b4 his properties are taken over..but they will not allow adoption of a male child...

The Igbo land is the small in Nigeria..and they use these laws to maintain ownership of their lands

I feel the female child is a child deserving like any other child bt I hope the courts will also use same judgement for sharia law controversies and not just Igbo customary laws where it abuses human fundamental rights. If not that would be very hypocritical.

I wud like to believe there are exceptions and clauses to this Igbo customary law. It doesn’t mean to exclude the female child bt protect both her and the family interests from external predators(Most royal families have such laws also). However greed of male siblings and polygamous family dynamics has abused this laws to the extremes.

Nigeria is slowly entering the 21st century century.

brothers and uncles
They will leave deceased daughters to suffer

which is very bad.

propsvilla3:
The Solution to this problem is in the hand of the Father. Write your will and include your Daughters in the inheritance to stop any form of drama. I can't share my properties without including my lovely daughters.

Exactly. But how many Nigerians would agree to write their wills?

Igbo culture don't rate their women at all, lol. Talmbout she'll give properties to philanderers, chai.

Anyhow sha they'll be fine. Progressive Igbo fathers will bequeath sizable assets to their daughters. The rest can contunu to give the men, who for certain will not handover the properties to philanderers. kikiki

It will work and beautifully so. One the female children are excluded, they go to court and get judgement. They enforce with bailiffs and Mopol and that is when you will see those greedy fools who excluded them jumping inside the bush.

Everyone respects and also accord the daughter of a dead man her nu husband's properties wen sh marries into a nu family...

Is it not the same inheritance..?

Last last it's the responsible children that will inherit the property.

Senseless tradition; Stupid culture

While some of the male children got more than 3 plots of land each, my mom and her female siblings didn't get a needle as inheritance but they all contributed towards the burial.

I wish I were this mature then, I'd never allow her drop a penny for the burial.

I don't get an inheritance(if it was my father's stand); I don't contribute to your upkeep nor burial. Let your tradition and culture care for you.

I DONT KNOW Y YORUBA SEEK TO CHANGE IGBO CUSTOMARY LAWS, WHEN THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED YORUBA CUSTOMARY LAW.


THEY SAY CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.


U CANNOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE THAT IS SCATTERED AND BE GOING TO ARRANGE ANOTHER MAN HOUSE, WITHOUT HIS CONSENT.



IF IT IS NOT IGBO TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL AND ALL OUR PARENTS AND GRAND AND GREAT GRAND ANCESTORS MARRIED, WITOUT ANY HINDERANCE,, THEN IT IS IGBO IHERITENCE LAW.



WAT IS WRONG WITH THESE ZOO ANIMALS AND THEIR OBSESSION FOR MY PEOPLE, Y WONT THEY LET US BE?

So that means you were making baseless comments when you know.nothing about execution of estates. Speaks volumes of your mental capacity to comprehend issues

Igbos aren't Jews. It has been genetically proven that Igbos don't have a single strand of Jewish DNA in Igbos. Stop making Igbos stupid with this useless attache by force.

helinues:
Ndi developers still dragging about female inheritance in 21st century..

Truly, civilization came late to the region

You are a monument to stupidity and a walking definition of idiocy. You lack basic knowledge of what the Courts usually order in cases of disputed estates and you're here making a fool of your abjectly worthless self.

But supreme court will not abolish parts of hausa culture that are in conflict with the constitution and holding the rest of Nigeria back?

Dedetwo:


The only Will you can write which should be meant for your lovely daughters is to get married by a good man and into a good family. Whatever property you accrued why alive remains in your father's house or compound.

I disagree with you on this Dede m. If my father is a very rich man with properties scattered all over Nigeria, certainly I will inherit at least a property. But since he has a duplex in the village and a duplex in Lagos. I cannot inherit. My brothers have it all

So many things you don't understand.

The ladies get nothing. The exception is where the man has plenty to go round...fine.

Otherwise, they get nothing.
You are not Igbo, so you won't understand.

Are you Igbo? Because I doubt you would make such baseless comments. Go and read about Ohafia where lineage and inheritance is traced through the woman and not the man. There are other societies like that in Igbo land. If you even go to your mother's side, you would be allocated land to farm and other oeiviledgea. Igbo women were the first to organize themselves as a social group as seen in the Aba women riot of 1929. Stop exposing tour ignorance and study. You can't know these things by watching BB naija and nollywood
