LaboPolitics:Women can become anything they aspire to become in yorubaland. They can become chiefs, they can become regents. In fact, women have occupied the position of Ooni and Alaafin before. And of course, my sister will have considerable shares in my father's property once he dies. 2 Likes |

Please you people should not fight what you don't know. I believe the judge have her verdict based on what she learnt from nollywood without regards for the Igbo culture. In the Igbo culture ( ask your parents this if you are Igbo), the first person to receive inheritance is the female child on her wedding day, where her own share of material things will be given to her by her parents ( if you are Igbo, ask yourself mother to show you where hers is, because I know people that started good businesses with thiers), the only thing that a female child does not partake is ancestral lands which is for homogeneity sake and mind you those laws were like that because then it is believed that a woman should have married before her brothers fully mature unlike now that we have over grown spinsters roaming the streets. Now to balance for her not partaking in her father's ancestral land, the Igbo female child is the first to inherit her husband ( ask your mother this if you are Igbo), she inherits her desired portion of her husbands ancestral land and her fair share of material things which she keeps till she die which then goes to the LAST MALE CHILD (ask your mother this). But incase the woman died before her husband all her supposed shares which I listed above goes to her daughters of which they share the material things and leave her land to the last Male child. That is why in Igboland we say that the heart of a mother is tied to her last son. Listen carefully, if the woman is highly successful in the sense that she became wealthy, when she dies all her wealth is shared between her daughters and her last Male child, which in most cases the daughters sometimes take her female belongings and leave almost 80% of her wealth (by choice) for the last male child. The other male children don't partake in this. It is important to note that the Obi is reserved for the first male child. While the other ancestral lands are shared among the other males, then the material wealth is shared by all (in reasonable ratio because most times the females leave them for their brothers to empower them to grow their family name financially which gives them bragging rights and in some cases protection from being treated like tags in their husbands family, you can't beat daughter of a wealthy family in igboland and go scot free) , including the unmarried sisters who are most times ashamed to partake. I was a life witness when one sister was crying profusely because they included her in inheritance, because to her they see her as a male who can never get never get married and accused her brothers of using that medium to insult her 5 Likes 1 Share |

All the idiot men on this thread shouting my daughter will never inherit from me are plain idiotic Nd stupid. There are a million and one families that if the man had not given birth to a daughter, they would have left this world in pain and abandonment because the so called sons did not send their parents. Only the women and especially first daughters ensures that the parents are well taken care of, spends their money and time to do that. Then after everything, you will tell me because one idiot has a dick, he should come and reap where ehe did not sow. The daughters will inherti everything and the ones they cannot or will be contentious, i will ensure I sell b4 my death. A child is a child. If they take care of you while alive, it does not matter the gender. Write your will accordingly. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

See this misogynistic entitled dreamer daughters are getting properties and now backed by the supreme court it will only get better. Also if you die today without any will be rest assured that if any of your daughters go to court they will have an inheritance. You are only rambling and cannot be taken serious because there is nothing you can do to change what the law has said.Start moving with the times 1 Like |

baby124: She is entitled to his properties but not after turning the man against the family she was married into, not after turning the man into a mental vegetable and selling off his properties. If she sells of the remaining properties in the Orlu, Owerri, Onitsha, where will the man and relatives get money to pay for medicals and feed himself? She abandoned the man a long time to his fate only to stick around long enough to sell off his properties. Stop supporting wickedness. 1 Like 1 Share |

PVision2020: The President, Ohanaeze in Anambra State, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, said bequeathing property to a man’s daughter was not alien to Ndigbo, and as such, the Supreme Court judgment should not be seen as strange or a surprise to Igbo people.What is injustice in what this man said? Please have a grasp of issues before screaming injustice, or you read down the thread. I don't know how Osu caste system came into this. |

banio:You guys think so much with your dick. How many Yoruba men have you seen takeover ancestral property belonging to their wives? They are used to their women inheriting so they don’t think of the property as their’s. Rather that of their kids. Only an imbecilic man will be fighting a woman over her father’s property and his children’s property. That is the concept of Igbo marriage where the woman is owned and bought. So everything she owns belongs to her husband. . See how you are imagining things based on what you will do if given an opportunity . With this inheritance issue, bride price inflation might die a natural death, cause if you don’t own your wife, you can’t claim to own her inheritance too. And how much can you possibly buy a woman who came into marriage with her own wealth? You go fear to do anyhow. You will respect yourself. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

/ Inheritance is the reason there are no generational wealth in Nigeria. The wards are waiting for the father to die, then scramble for his wealth and waste it accordingly. A son who has made it in life on his own will not be very much concerned about inheritance if he has been living ostentatiously without it. Sometimes when you look at the inheritance they are fighting over, one cannot help but observe in awe. / 2 Likes |

LaboPolitics:It is her property and she’s entitled to it. I am sure the family demanded custody of their son thinking if they hold on to him, they hold on to his wealth. The wife was sharper than you. Gave you your brother and absconded with her inheritance. What gives you more right over her children? You demanded to have your brother, you have him. Her children are secure. I am sure you peoples behavior towards her has made her run away for good. If not, you won’t be looking for her to pay medical expenses. Even her family will not let her get away with such. If you had all his properties in your possession, will you not sell it, share the money and use a small token to throw him somewhere? While his children starve to death. You are just angry at the quickness and smartness of the wife. She may have observed your behavior towards other widows in the family and acted fast . 3 Likes 2 Shares |
