Sunkyapogee:Even in the Bible, women were given an inheritance when they sought for it. Numbers 27 vs 1-11... It is also written in the Bible.. "ask and u shall be given". The lady went to court to ask and the Supreme Court consented. 1 Like 1 Share |

Culture or not, people should be trained to be independent. When it comes to bequeting my estate, everyone will be treated fairly. Equity must be applied to the fullest regardless of gender. This thing we call culture should be well interpreted. Our forefathers never used most of the modern technologies we are enjoying. We had to abandon their ancient and crude methods just to embrace modernisation fully. How come we have allowed some bits of the past that should be left alone to impede our growth and development as a people? This court saga is an unnecessary baggage and a ridicule to the Igbo people. Women deserve better. They should be treated fairly and given the opportunity to partake in enjoying the wealth of their parents. Apart from greed and wickedness, why should this case linger on? 3 Likes 1 Share |

LaboPolitics: Ahhhhh, for once in this thread I read a mature & intelligent man's response with creative argument. Bro, I really respect you. People refuse to understand that even the secular law do recognize & respect Culture & Religions of different people. Haba! Even in the Bible, most times God do not place men & women on the same pedestal Please before any of you criticize me, simply take your time and reason it out : Can a man's challenges in life be same as a woman's? Men hustle right from childhood to be accepted, yet they have to work very hard to find such acceptance. But right from the home the girl child is always pampered better than some male kids, and so it continues into their adult life (friends, brothers, fathers, mothers provide and support the female child, not to talk of her boyfriends who she may feel obliged to milk, if not nothing for them as per her affections). Then, at the work place, once a female staff makes an accusation that you harrased her sexually or in any wise, your own is capital SORRY!!! This is even so world over, once a female makes a sexual molestation allegations against a male, that's all, the world tend to be considerate of her more than they consider the male folks defense. Not supporting Rape, but think of it, the events of over a year plus now have shown to all how much extent ladies can go to to discredit or damage the image/reputationsof a man/guy all by accusing home wrongly. To me its even like Jungle justice of Africa, because some young men with frail hearts has committed suicide because of wrong accusations, yet the female folks will not desist from wrong accusations. Finally, who said the Igbo tradition does not recognize the Female kids? Like some Igbo elders have pointed out from the write up, the father usually gives her some gifts and properties, during her marriage BUT NOT THE FAMILY ANCESTRAL MONUMENTS/LANDS/INHERITANCES. These are called Obi, meaning, Family Treasures, which is kept foe Posterity, by the males who never get taken away by a woman by marriage but stays and manages those treasures and hands it to his own male sons. Like my guy pointed out here, EVERY PEOPLE HAS THEIR CULTURAL ALLOWANCES/DOs & Don'ts, especially regarding to female rights and inheritances. Can you enforce a law and make a Woman the Sultan of Sokoto? Or the Emir of Kano? Or the Alaafin of Oyo? Or the Oba of Lagos? Or the Oba of Benin? Or Ohinoyi of the Igbiraland?!!!!! Haba, lets THINK before we comment on people's religious, cultural or etc beliefs. A culture is described as a way of life of a people AND IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED BY THAT PARTICULAR PEOPLE!!! HABA! HABA!!! 8 Likes |

These guys with their 12th century law. They fail to be civilized and I’m grateful to the Supreme Court for helping them get civilized by fire by force. Now the next judgement to be passed is for the OSU discrimination issue. In as much as we are in this Nigeria together, we will make sure we save you from yourself. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I really can't believe such repugnant culture is being practiced by igbos. I'm urhobo and even in my father's house I have inheritance. Infact, every woman from my tribe has inheritance and there is no superiority of gender. My grandfather just passed last month and before his demise he shared land to his male and female children alike. This issue of inheritance has really caused problem in igbo families. Brothers and uncles dragging property from widows and leaving them in penury. It is well. propsvilla3: 3 Likes |

AprokoGirl: Interesting points raised on both sides. Right now, what stake do married women have in their husbands' homes? Why didn't women inherit ancestral lands? What plans have been put in place to ensure whatever they wanted to prevent will be mitigated? If a woman inherits a land and marries, what happens? Can she pass it on to her kids? (in which case it leaves the family/tribe)? Or does it revert to her father's family upon her death? In her matrimonial home, is she entitled to a share of land from her husband's land? Can she transfer that land by inheritance or does it revert to her husband's family/ her male kids upon death? I think the elders and the court should have a holistic approach towards the issue. 2 Likes |

LaboPolitics: why do you guys always like to consider the log in other people's eyes and not focus on the beam in your own eyes, the issue is about the female inheritance, how does that concern the Yoruba traditional stool? are we even talking about Yoruba female inheritance here which is not even an issue in Yoruba land I think you guys are easily always up in arms when questions are asked about your culture and social activities as you hate people talking about them but you folks like to be good busy bodies in other people's culture. You want others to tolerate you but can't simply tolerate, how self centered and hypocritical you guys. The spotlight is on your culture as you normally throw the spotlight on others too 2 Likes |

HabaHaba: The Yorubas are civilized with a liberal culture and it always hurt me that we are mixed with uncivilized folks in this rubbish country called Nigeria. Have you heard of Alaafin Orompoto? She was the first female Alaafin of Oyo as at 1550s. Even till now you can see several female Adeles in Yoruba land standing as Oba. Again, Lugard no go die well for putting civilized Yorubas with uncivilized ethnic groups in this rubbish Nigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |
