This is one of the reasons I keep saying I will never leave any wealth for my children, I will train them to at least university level for those who wanted to go to school, a plot of land each, both male and female, and 3 million each to start up their lives when they come up in age .. the remaining money i will squander it with my wife till I die ... make them no get hope say I keep anything for them

I already knew that the husband was the first son before I opened this thread.
See, it's time first sons know and accept that everybody was born equal, male and female alike.

My old Man didn't write a will and he was a single dad before meeting my mom. So when it was time to share some of his lands, the first child was like "I am the father now" I told him that I don't have a father.

Then he said that the "lands will be measured and shared into two equal parts, one for him and one for I and my brothers to share. The reason was that since another woman had him for my old man it means that we're two families and lands are shared between families in NSK"

Surprisingly everybody agreed with him. Even my elder brother who was supposed to be the one speaking was quiet.

But I would never agree to something like that so I asked him why wasn't the hospital bills and the money spent to bury our old man split between the two imaginary families?

No answer.

I told them clearly that since we shared the bill to the last kobo, we will also share his property equally.

Nah then wahala start. Las las I won.

Some of these traditions need to be done away with and parents should try as much as possible to have a will. My own grandfather shared his properties while he was still alive and there was a written agreement that his sons will be paying him some amount of money every three months until he's dead and there was no misunderstanding anywhere.


First sons in most Igbo families would want to claim everything their father worked for and leave nothing to the younger ones.


That is madness.

I blamed the Igbo inheritance sharing culture for this

Imagine when the first born is entitled to lion share of inheritance or females are not consider human enough to enjoy their fathers labour





Very good one from your grandfather

I have a friend who usually says Lagos is too tough he will go back to the village and collect all his late father farms, houses and sell them to help himself,. I ask about his siblings he said they were not his business nor problem

He claimed he's the first born hence the rightful owner of everything, this is someone whose father last born is still in secondary school yet unwilling to give her anything because she is a female that don't deserve inheritance

Can I blame his siblings of same father same mother if they poison him? Of cause I can't

The Igbo need to really come together and do things right, if not most family better be ready for the death of their first born

Look at the bolded phrase. I was just writing about the barbaric ibo culture which recognizes only the first son as the legitimate child in the family who inherits everything. Lol. This is the result. Congrats!

Also, look at the bolded first part of a paragraph which emphasized on having a male child. Bas.tard culture. Yet, this region wants to lead Nigeria again.

Babaric children.

People just birth children like chicken without proper training, only to die and leave them causing havoc and problems everywhere after their death.

Parents, please try to train your children and bring them up in the way of the Lord to avoid such discord in the family when they grow up.

My Igbo brothers, please stop killing yourselves over properties that will end up rotting away when y'all are gone. Hian!

Your first paragraph is pure nonsense, Am a Yoruba man not igbonman and am currently in control of my father's business of which am very much active in it. My father just married a lady from Imo state and she just gave birth to a son, imagine me that's hustling up and down day and night to make the business sustain that he can acquire property will share the same with the son that knows how he acquired the said property. Am hustler infact I will be on my own in a short time and I will av made it millions by God's grace before my father reach old age but the fact is that the new born baby of One year has little say in my fathers property infact his mother can't put mouth for where I dey talk not to even talk of his son. When the first son dey hustle and map out strategy to secured their fathers wealth nobody was there only for last born to come out and say the property belongs to all of us and share it equal is totally rubbish. Mind u, I never plan to share in my father's property coz I would av acquired mine by God's grace in coming yrs.

MPESA:




Na wetin them go talk , but I still dey doubt it ... One and half plot for the first son and he still say No... I doubts it.

Sterope:
My father's business who is the the new baby's father as well or does the baby belong to someone else. Your hustling is for your pocket, the business is still very much your father's as well not yours. I am sure you get a salary and if you don't thanks for volunteering. No employee/child goes about claiming what belongs to another because of blood. It is still isn't your business. Go and start yours so you can stop claiming someone's else's business.

anigbajumo:


Nothing will change the fact that First born will still an edge over other son, his relationship to his father has not been mutual that's why he paid the ultimate price. A child of yesterday can never say he has right to share the same property with the first born, that's totally absurd infact his mother can't sit down with me to dey gist together coz I won't give the chance, wen u started minding ur business as head of the house nobody will av the guts to try rubbish with you.
