But he is still the first son na.

No offence, but your father should have properties of his own. Tradition is on the side of your uncle.

If you like carry my old rusty car go mechanic and turn it brand new, it remains mine.

. It's obvious he came back with almost nothing and felt laying claims on their parent property is the back up plan
No will was written and some of the old buildings has been reconstructed from the scratch by my father and yet someone is laying claim on it.
I will like to know how this will go because my father is ready to fight this with his last strength and we the children are firmly behind him

Hand over his birth right to him and allow peace to reign. You don’t expect him to visit Nigeria every time a mosquito dies in your house. Moreover do you know if he was in prison in South Africa . You don’t know his story or his struggles just allow him take what’s his.

The family is angry but some of the elders in the extended family are getting on is side claiming he's still the senior he was never disowned but they can't say it out though. It's obvious he came back with almost nothing and felt laying claims on their parent property is the back up plan

No will was written and that means your father has no case

He wasn't disowned either, so the elders are right.

Hello all,
My dad immediate elder brother who went to south africa in the 90s is back to drag their parents property claiming to be the first son.

This is someone who after he travelled only came back once and never bothered about the affair's of the family.

Their father my grandfather died 2005 he was no where to be found. my grand mother died 2018 still nothing from him.

No contributions whatever even while their parents was still alive.

He cut all sort of communications with them and now he's back to lay claim on the properties.
