4. The said girl is in Law School and still behaves stupidly.
5. The man built a house but the wife a d children insisted that he'll be buried behind the house which his immediate brothers and kinsmen object that he be buried in front of his house.
6. Despite the money given to the woman she cooks with firewood upstairs.
7. The woman and children were asking the man's Will to be read while the corpse was still in the mortuary.
8. Anyone that cares should come to Oguta, Imo State to verify for himself or herself.

Vilage people still follow this girl here, if it was suspected that they killed him while not involving police. Why fighting over burial why there was major issue unattended to?

Always trying to demonise Igbos and pontificate your own tribe and culture is very unfair. Forming opinion on hearsay is bad. How many of you have crossed the Niger Bridge to Igbo hinterland even just to pass thru. Igbos this, Igbo that everyday without resting is annoying.
Yes, you don't like Igbos but you still won't let them go. Stop all these lame stereotypes. Every culture has its good and bad sides. You work on yours and I work on mine, but don't tell me you holy pass.

Mr man. Let me quickly point out that I'm one of the most detribalised Nigerian around. I grow up in an Igbo dominated community. I have been to, and lived in a number of Eastern states. My immediate elder sister is married to an Igbo man. The point is that my submission is not influenced by personal prejudice against the Igbos. It is based on facts observed over time. Most of my friends are Igbos and I dare say I have genuine reason to question their fidelity when money matter arises between us. The same person you had a throaty laughter with the previous day will suddenly become a monster when issues of money arises. That is not to say that only the Igbos are guilty of this. But one particular tribe where this is widespread is among the Igbos. Rather than argue with me, I'll advise you to begin a sensitization of your people, starting with yourself and your family. Cause as a long as this persist, the unity which the Igbos need to achieve their dream of a Biafran nation or even rule this country will continue to remain in the pipe.

Thank you for this. Wherever you see an Igbo woman who complains about the Igbo culture, study her, and you'll see that either she and her entire family personify evil or she's a crass and opportunistic woman.

It's a known fact that once you resist a crass and opportunistic woman - or man - from carrying out her nefarious acts or meting out her perfidy against you, she'll automatically project herself on you and term you an oppressive and wicked person. On the other hand, non-Igbos who criticize the Igbo culture are naive, disingenuous, or outright enemies who take pleasure in casting aspersions on anything Igbo.

Separate a few evil individuals - there are evil individuals in every tribe and clime - and crass and opportunistic women who're married in Igbo families regardless of their parental tribe or the unmarried Igbo ones, you'll see that there's nothing wrong with the Igbo culture.

any Yoruba or non Igbo ladies that marry Igbo man, married future disaster even their ladies are now running away from all those uncivilized monkeey, na to abuse other tribe them sabi whereas their inhumane and godforsaken region need both spiritual and psychological cleansing


Igbo are kind of tribe that are full of themselves, they believe they're better than you because of their ritual money whereas they're empty in all areas


Igbo as a tribe is a cursed to humanity, as it is today my woman were forced to child labour outside of her region when her late parents died, just because they're all ladies, all their father's land shared by their dad brothers and family and the kids were abandoned


the woman that brought her to Lagos for child labour eventually do her a favour though because she fell in the hand of good Yoruba parents who adopted her and sponsored her from primary school to tertiary


going to pay her bride price in East, these fools that abandoned them still come outside to collect bride price. Igbo people are shameless

Even if your story is absolutely true, you shouldn't generalize. Igbos can't all be same. Other tribes are mixed bags too.

You would have opted to bury him on Lagos jeje. All those men building houses or getting properties in their villages better be careful. Your home is where you raise your families! Stop being sentimental!

I was sad my woman had to went through such abnormal culture, she herself had sworn before we met that she will never marry an Igbo man


are siblings started respecting Yoruba when they realized they nurtured her till she achieved this far, Yoruba respect girl child rights but girl child rights is a taboo to those bamboon but they abuse North of the same fate. bunch of hypocrites

Stop making stupid insinuations, go to Oguta, Imo State and get your facts right. The house is not hidden and the uncles are more than rich to drag a piece of land which a house is built on.

Why would a 67year old man, a father and the first son of the family be buried behind his own house?

Ask the girl to tell you the full story and why they always fight their father.

ojaysam25:
What is virgin land,is there a land only virgins can build on.

The kinsmen have a plan of eventually selling the late man's land.

Hmmm. Obviously, her emotions did not let her explain the situation in a way people will understand better.

What exactly does she mean by 'virgin' land? If its a land that belongs to the kindred and has not been shared, you cannot bury anyone there except the kindred gives permission to do so.

From one of the photos, a grave is being dug in a compound which we assume should be the deceased compound. Why would you wish to bury him somewhere else than his compound?

Clearly, what we have here is a dispute between the deceased and his kindred over land matters which we have no knowledge of the details. To now use this to pour vituperations on Igbo culture and traditions is uncalled for.

Cultures and traditions cannot be changed overnight. It takes time and you cant just ask for it to change because it does not suit you only.

Just my opinion.

market what


A public poll was conducted on Wazobia fm radio some years back asking Nigerian ladies which Nigerian tribe's men they would love to marry and why


90% of the ladies that called and gave their names all said Igbo. I mean Hausa, Yoruba, I jaw, Urhobo, etc women phoned in and said Igbo men, and their reason is that Igbo men take very good care of their wife and children and don't joke with the welfare of their wife or kids.


They said why they wouldn't want to marry Yoruba men is because of their open promiscuity and marrying multiple wives openly and secretly which their main wife usually find out when he dies.


They said Yoruba men prefer to take care of themselves first before thinking of caring for their wife and kids.


Many Yoruba ladies married to Igbo men phoned in and said they bless the day they met their Igbo husband.


Don't take an opinion of a wayward girl, an efulefu who thinks bad mouthing her own tribe will make other tribes love and cherish her. Just look at it, is the girl not foolish


Yes some communities and families in Igbo land have some horrible practice or culture that is no longer healthy for 2020 lifestyle, it's not common in all Igbo communities and families.


My only advice to ladies is, before you agree to marry any man from any tribe, look at his family members, his siblings especially, their personality matters a lot.

I have a Yoruba lady friend whose father was a rich man, but unfortunately they were only girls; 2 girls, so when their father died, her father's siblings told their mom to take only their fathers house in abuja and forget the ones in Ibadan, Lagos, Abeokuta and in their hometown. That how can she take everything their brother acquired when she doesn't have a male child for their brother. Are they also Igbos

This thing is a common greed among Africans and mostly dependent on families and communities not a whole tribe.


Me personally, one thing I would like Igbos to change in their culture is the tradition that makes it that a woman cannot inherit her father's landed properties, but this is applicable to village lands because they believe she is supposed to be married and don't need to own any land in her father's place after she is married. But I would love this to change and my family have already made up our minds to change such nonsense tradition anyway.

until that weird tradition is change, Yoruba men that you claimed open to promiscuous is more reasonable than them


beside you want to force me your believe your self delusion but you're defending obvious fact if Igbo, how sensible?


all Nigeria men are polygamous in nature, my woman father married 3 wives and I've seen many Igbo with many wives even those with many wives still flirt with corper during my days in Anambra, so you've no point

Am sorry that the Igbos you came in contact were like the one you painted but that still is not enough to regard all Igbos as such. It is wrong assumption. And I have seen same types you painted in other tribes as well, but I won't generalise as I know people vary from family to family, clan to clan, etc. It is not today I started hearing that stereotype about Igbos loving money, and other tribes hating money. And I keep on wondering how my experience with omoniles over a piece of property that was sold to several clients would qualify me calling all westerners greedy and unreliable. No I won't generalise. There will always be bad people regardless of tribe.

If you want to know the group that love money in Nigeria, go and check the political elites, governors, ministers, legislators, the civil servants, the police, the immigration, the customs, the NURTW, etc. They would kill to collect these money and rob our common wealth. And the last I checked, it was not Igbos only that work in those government setups. A classical case of calling a dog a bad name to hang it, you remember?

A common sense will tell you that a trader or businessman is naturally a capitalist, would that mean all Americans are greedy because US is headquarters of capitalism? Naah. There will always be bad ones.

Self pontificating, self righteousness, hipocrisy is what is killing Nigeria today. This group of people in your eyes is bad because they refuse to tow the lines of others, doesn't mean you're right. They've wanted to leave, you fought to keep them but you won't let them be. Please, live and let live.

The igbo culture is one that needs to be amended. They are always quick to call out the northeners and say they are not exposed and always hide their women but the igbo woman has little or no rights in her father's house.How can your daughters not have a right to your properties but you give them to your sons who go ahead to handover "the inherited properties to his wife" (another man's daughter) while your own blood daughter does not inherit a pin. Isnt that madness? And at the end of it all these sons do not come back to wash your back in old age but your daughters.

Possibly, her uncle's were greedy and tried to twist the custom for their selfish interest.
Possibly she was being hotheaded and "feminist" and refused to listen so that things could be properly explained to her.
Possibly, both parties (her uncles and herself) messed it all up.
But that doesn't give her the right to vilify the entire tribe.
The Igbo tradition much like almost evry other tribe in Africa does not accord preeminence or headship to women (even the Bible and Qouran doesn't), neither does it thrash women. In fact, some parts Igboland, the importance of motherhood is so expressed, that bride price of a lady is paid to her maternal home and not her father's!
Her uncles may have messed up due to their own greed or whatever motive, but that shouldn't make her generalize.
People shouldn't just blurt out their opinions on what they don't understand because some one or something hurt them and try to pass of such opinions as facts. That is very unintelligent!

Can women inherit wealth from their fathers?
Yes or no?

There's one Igbo bastard OSU (forgotten hid name) that always defend Igbo demonic culture.


* Igbo women can't inherit their father's land by tradition

* Have no say in their father's burial traditionally.

* The burial belongs to the umunna (larger family)

* Women are often cashcows to be exploited by their immediate family

* Once you're an in-law to Igbo, you're expected to be part of that family in every major financial expenditure. You never get a thank you because culturally as an in-law nothing you do is too much .

Don't mind them. They think everyone will just swallow everything we read hook, line and sinker. The girl said the brothers abandoned the corpse in the sitting room so they had to move it themselves to the mortuary. Do they expect this girl and her mum to leave a corpse lying around while the so-called brothers take their sweet time to 'make arrangements'?

This is just one hole I have seen in his claims.
