Poverty is vanity

You mean he should sue the women that breast fed him for almost 2years after carrying him for 9months? Just because of a girl that came from no where.

You people are quick to forget that wives/husbands can become ex tomorrow but family will forever be family. Nothing like former family.


Why don't he rent a new flat for he and his new wife? Like he is not even supposed to be told, its a common sense.

You don't seem to understand sarcasm

Good evening elders.

A friend of mine needs urgent advice before taking a bold step.

He relocated to south Africa 6 years ago, and since he traveled he has been sending home some amount of money to help his father complete his house.

So last year, unfortunately his father died and has since been buried.

He just arrived from south Africa since then. Now he wants to renovate his fathers house to 3 bedroom flat because he's planning to marry next year, He's not returning to south Africa.

But, his mom declined and said she won't allow him take over the house from her, though he promised to rent an apartment for her but declined.

Now this has caused a lot of problem between the mother and son, because the son claims he built d house to that stage but the mother is claiming she is his mother and the wife to the late owner(father).

He's planning on taking drastic steps which I have advised him against, but he seems not to understand everything I'm saying.

I told him about nairaland, that there are experienced people who will give him d best advise and he's given me a go ahead.

I will be sending these page link to him, so he can hear from d public and then know what to decide.

He needs your sincere advise.

Thanks

You need to tell us your tribe because traditions vary in Nigeria. In yoruba land it is the wife's property until she dies, a son cannot override his mother's right to the property until she dies. I am not even sure a 1st son in yoruba land has any right over his elder sister (assuming he isnt the 1st BORN) talk less his mother.

Your friend must be hard on some substance to even mute such strange ideas. How can she evict a woman from her husband's house ffs? And to imagine that she's even his own mom makes one think the guy is really mad.

Tell your friend to proof us wrong that he is not mad by completing the house for his mom and siblings to live comfortably. He ought to even have done that before the man's burial if he has the money. And then he should go and rent an apartment elsewhere. That house is their family house. Even if the poor woman is not the biological mother, he doesn't have any right to throw her out of the husband's home.
His right of inheritance can only be activated in the event of the mom's death and the sister's have all married.

That son is a bastard

I'm sure he supported the dad in the calculation that the poor man will soon die


He want to send aways his mother from her matrimonial home then bring in another woman, he want to turn wife of landlord aka landlady to a tenant simply because she is a widow

If the woman in question is not his biological mother probably like his dad second wife he will have probably murder her as a way to snatch her husband house, may God not let us give birth to useless kid, kid worse than dog

Anything your friend do for his mum, he should know Kama is a bitch, it's while he's still alive that his own children will sell all his property and turn him to street begger while his children squandered his sweat on unknown ladies

While some kids are thinking of taking care of their mama some are thinking of sending their to the gutters,

Isn't the Bible straightforward when it's says the man shall leave his mother and father then cling to his wife

If any of my kids show any tendency of madness like OP friend, or it's probably the OP himself, I'll disown the child and ensure ordinary stone he doesn't inherit from from, someone who cannot love his mother

God bless you

It seems he is concerned that his mom might sell it off and keep all the money for herself. It is a valid concern seem he footed the bill for the house.

He should discuss the ownership of the house with her and allow her to live in it. He should have clarified ownership ever seems he sent the first one naira to his father.

And where will the woman be living after selling the house she's living? On the streets I guess.

I also have a friend who is finishing up his father’s house, That’s was the first thing i asked him to discuss with his mum. The woman confirmed she is leaving the house to him, with peace of mind he is currently pumping in millions to renovate the whole house but he can’t sell it while his mother is alive, like some posters rightfully stated; its a family house as long as his mother is still alive.

Hehe! You meant to say that the same house where your friend is pumping millions to can't accommodate him and his mother?
Secondly, why renovating his dad's house just to send his own mother packing out? I meant, what's this world turning into? You and that your friend no get sense o

So.. This guy has such low confidence in himself that he thinks he can never build another house in his life time, and is dragging house with his mother... His own mother o!!!!!

My advice to him:
1. He should finish the house to taste, and hand it over completely to his mother. He will receive prayers and blessings that will pave way for big things in his life

2. He should go and rent a place, even if 1room for himself and his bride. If he truly loves the girl he wants to marry he will avoid trouble by not bringing her into the house he's fighting his mother over. If the girl is stupid enough to follow him to live in the house then it means he married an unwise woman and the marriage will most likely hit the rocks.

3. Once he does 1 and 2, he now needs to continue to support his mother. He owes his siblings little or no obligations but can help if he has the means... But he has a new bride now so he has more responsibilities.

4. Continue to trust God and leave the rest to him. But in my own experience he will still build a bigger and better house if he does not disrespect his mum over one house.

You are mistaken about the mother

There is no such tradition in Yoruba land

Yes you are right female children have equal inheritance as their brothers but wives have zero , repeat zero inheritance rights in Yoruba traditional law and this has been tested and established in court

e.g
Suberu v Sunmonu,

"Wives are chattels than can be inherited"

He is a stupid son. If the father was fighting with his own mum on his father's house, will the son have any claim to it? If he want to get married and thinks he is man enough to do so, he should go and rent a house and stay and leave his mother alone.

It is better to have only daughters than to have this type of efulefu son.

No respect for the mum at all, only to drag land and house.

Let him rent an apartment for himself and the future wife, and let mama and his siblings live in the family house in peace.

Your friend sounds more stupid than reasonable. Drastic steps? On his own mother? Sounds like a drug dealer from South Africa talking. Or he swallowed some other pills.

Forget all the traditional people and their "where does he come from" talks. This is a legal matter, not a village matter where any drunk will talk rubbish in his favor after eating some kola nuts and drinking a gift of Jack Daniels from him.

Let him go to a federal court and settle it where the law — not sentiment— holds.

If he was helping his father build, what was his point if it would've been to throw him out once it was time for him to get married?

Some people are so dysfunctional.

Your friend has mummy issues.

Tell him to go and rent a house. His contribution was a natural God gesture from son to father and not an exclusive right to inheritance. Why on earth will him go and rent a house for his mother. The father and mother are the major stakes of hat house until both are no more.
