aribisala0: true especially the part about traditions, which is why I believe I wrote in one of the earlier posts that traditions will largely determine what happens in real life irrespective of the law. I think it also depends on the particular family and how far they have held on to or departed from traditions. I for instance never knew of the wife having no rights applied in Yoruba tradition. |

The house belongs to the mom at least for now. When his mom dies, he can get the house. Where does he want his mom to go ? He should start building another or rent a place. |

There's a reason it is called Family House. It is a sanctuary for all members of the family. NO single individual can claim ownership unless expressly willed out by the father |

ImaIma1: Well a will is good to an extent because if your dad were to be igbo, he can’t will any of his properties in his village to his daughters. He can will any other one anywhere else but that village property will be almost impossible to do. And it’s not like he can’t do it, it is that his greedy and wicked kinsmen will raise dust if he does it because “it is not customary”. It has caused a lot of problems in my town, most notably with a former varsity VCs family. |

He was over 70 years old. authority2006: It is either you are very stupid or you can’t read. Where did you see that I wrote he tried to send his mum packing. Leaving the house to him (inheritance and Leaving the house for him (packing out are two different things. Go and re-read to find out which i used. It’s a very big house for your information, he was wondering whether to use his money to start building his own or upgrade the house his father left behind, hence I gave him a good advice discus with your mum, if she says the house would be yours put your money there.

ImaIma1: If you marry a brave, respected and powerful man not necessarily rich sef cos there are rich men that are still weak, you’ll enjoy yourself. If you marry a soft man, umunna would always try to take advantage of him. When my dad was alive, I used to attend some umunna meetings with him as a child. It usually gets really heated but when my dad, with his authoritative voice, tells his fellow man that is causing a raucous to “shut up and sit down or I will use your teeth to sweep the ground” in igbo though, the man will just sit down and the meeting will continue. It used to amaze me whenever I witnessed something like that. My mom sef will take advantage of that air of powet around my dad to put some umuada members in their place. Come add money join again, I miss the man. Had he not died, he was in line to be the next Onowu. Asides from that women property thing, igbo men don’t joke with their wives and daughters. You will be treated like a queen regardless of financial standing. Our women are usually well taken care of. It is said that when an igbo man marries a wife, his clan also marries a wife. They will always make sure you’re comfy. |

It is a son's responsibility to assist aging parents. The house belongs to the Family just as the Dad intended. The son needs his own home, and his father house is for everyone including the ladies. They also reserve the right not to get married or be married but that house in no where belongs to the son except everyone is married and. Other pass on before he can maintain in. But everyone must access it even after a divorce |

Very stupid child. The house belongs to the mother. Who are you to even try to consider taking her house? Na you dem marry wey suffer with the man and give birth to ingrates like you? Don’t go and find something doing so you can afford your own home. God forbid I give birth to a child like this. If not expressly willed, it’s only the man’s wife that can decide who gets the house. That is her home till she goes to meet her maker. 1 Like |

aribisala0:Which Yorubaland are you talking about? Property is shared based on the wives or offsprings. Mostly wives in polygamous settings. The wives stay in their husbands house till they leave this earth. Like you cannot even remove them, or debate it. Their husbands house remains firmly in their possession as long as they are alive. Except they willingly give it up. Property Sharing self mostly do not include the family house. Which is the husband and Wife’s home. That becomes joint property after the wife dies |

Slimslimqq: His mother has right to the house too because it's a family home! It doesn't matter whether he helped his father finished the house or not! He can't just evict his mother like that from a family home! He has these options; - Live with the mother. - Buy land and build a new house for himself. - Buy land and build a new house for his mother. - Get a rented place for himself. |

This matter shouldn't have generated a fight between a mother and her son, so you want to chase your mother out of her husband house for another woman, your wife? There is something that the OP is not telling us If your mother had divorced your father before his death, that is another story, but this is not the case. Whoever is the next of kin to the late "father or husband" should go and obtain a probate (with a will) or a letter of administration (without a will) to stake the administrative ownership to the house. But looking at this issue, each party has the right to challenge the probate issuance in the court. |

Hmnn.... This life ehn. The things men do for marriage sake. Guy, dont do it. Let your mum be and let her live in the house, dont because of another woman destroy your family. I know u have spent money and feel it's your right, if you do. Your wife will be hated for a long time while married to you. In fact, it may shock you that the woman , your wife that you are willing to discard your family for may not do same for you. Women dont really love us o, they love what you can provide. Take am easy. If you can, remain in SA. and let tour wife join you. If you must be in Nigeria rent a house and God will double your hustle. I built a house for my mum as well, but I no even send. I have acquired so much more assets that property is no more a priority. I just want peace of mind. |

Slimslimqq:While I was growing up around the beautiful slopes of Mt Kenya, if someone had told me that I’d live to see or hear a child taking their parent to court, I’d have said they lied. But as it is, I have seen a generation with no respect for their parents and elders. To them properties are more important than their parents. This group is selfish & their conscience is dead. They live in a carefree world, nothing bothers their conscience. So this stupid boy was supporting his father with a hidden agenda? Did he tell his father that he was supporting him in order to take over the house after the father has died? Would the father be happy to see his wife shedding tears because of some coins that the son contributed? That’s how people earn themselves curses. You toil day & night without success because you earned yourself a curse by disrespecting your parent. Honor your father & mother is a command that promises you’ll live to see many days for doing so. Better change your ways & make amends with your mother before it’s too late. Nonsense! 1 Like |
