Peter532: There is nothing to fight about .your father should expect the owner of a thing to eventually come for it.the best your dad can do is to claim maintenance fee and burial expenses he is the entitled . 1 Like |

Peter532:if he has properties of his own why dragging with his elder brother who has none ? And you the children willing to die for grand parents properties instead of working hard to own your personal properties? Both of them should equitably share their fathers properties as tradition demands and not your father depriving his elder brother of due inheritance. If I were you will advise my dad to leave properties for his long lost brother who failed to make fortune despite years of unfruitful sojourn. Sallam 1 Like |

Peter532:Then ur dad shouldn't bother to share their late parents properties? If he truly has as u claimed. Except, he is just been greedy to his brother. In my place, ur uncle is entitled to 70% of der parents properties even if he is dead, as long as he has a male child. When d share der parents properties d child will still carry b4 ur dad. 1 Like |

Peter532: If you guys are Igbo Then your father has a big wahala ahead of him Because in Igbo culture The first son inherits the Obi and main property the father Left Other sons are given other properties or lands but the main property where the Father lived belongs to the first son It's non debatable in Igbo culture I don't know about other cultures But if your grandfather left a will The will will decide the sharing of the properties Sometimes the father may not will anything to to the first son And that stands There is a case we are treating presently in the East A big man died last year. He was past eighty and willed his major assets to his second son He denied the first son anything except his Obi in the village which belongs to the first son by culture We found out the first son made small money from oil servicing deal and was looking down on his father The father now punished him in his will People were shocked The Man also punished his wife because he felt the wife was the one influencing the first son The wahala now is that the mother and first son are up in arms with the second son Heard the second son want to sell of some of the choice Properties and relocate to the US because he is scared of his life. The umunna and some big men are trying to resolve the whole issue But walahi fear some fathers They can deal with anyone with there will But the obj or fathers Properly in the village belong to the first son |

Peter532: As Igbos, weather he is responsible or not, first son is first son. While in SA, if your father was somehow in touch, he should be taking permission from him to do anything on their father's property. The first son has the right to share their father's property amongst the children as he will, though he is guided to be fair, but even if he is not, others can only talk. In fact, in my village, if he has his first son while his father is alive, his first son becomes their father's last son, meaning his household will be entitled to double portion after he has shared the properties, or shared by their father. What your father should have done while their father was alive was to make him alott his desired properties to him in the presence of the elders, the first son cannot thwart that because it is a traditional will. I advise: let your father follow land matter with caution, e dey chop head(s). Those elders hashing their support for your uncle are right, they just don't have the boldness yet to tell your father, maybe dem dey fear am because him get money. Let your father present his cases before him and the elders and he may be considerate. Now that he came back with nothing, let him have something, and what rightfully belongs to him. Do not intimidate him out of his right, he can fight dirty with the spirits as him no get money. Let the poor returnee breath I vowed never to drag any of my father's property with anyone right from childhood, Na purchased land I dey hold unto, NOBIDY CAN DRAG THAT WITH ME. BE WISE BRO. Aldo talk to your father's family to pipe low. |

Your father better give him his right, it is our culture. We must obey our cultures in all arears , not when it comes to women ,you people will start shouting men should obey culture and marry two wives. Your father must obey this culture. You and your father can go to the village, let first Son take what is rightfully his own. |

djon78: What are they resolving? They want to thwart the late man's will? What the second son is about to do is exactly what I would do. She the first son get oil.money, let him go and buy properties na. Please, you guys should let the second son breath. |

Peter532:If I may ask, was ur father praying dat his senior brother doesn't come back or should die in foreign land? Plz, irrespective of how long he stayed, he has rights to his entitlements. U don't even know why he didn't come home. My dad's younger brother was being seen as a stingy man by us(the children), why...? because he brought nothing for us wen he came back from Germany after a very long time. He was just making us unending promises. But we later found out dat he was in prison all d while. My dad was fully aware. Dey were communicating through letters. He could've faced such case. So, sometimes it's not usually good to judge people from afar. |

With die respect, ur dad na thief. So he renovated a joint property so it could become his personal property. Who told u that u or ur dad is in a position to determine that ur uncle should be punished by not getting a dime. The only person with such power is the owner of the property; ur grand parents who are unfortunately dead. 1 Like |

Peter532:traditionally if it is in the southeast and there is no will written by the late father the first born automatically inherits the late father's house,any other properties will be shared with his brothers at his discretion,the best you can do is to invite the elders of the families to share any remaining property,if it is his late father's house,forget it,it is his inheritance |

This is where understanding come to Play. Your father and his elder brother should settle their differences. One day both of them will die and leave the properties behind. |

Klass99:Plz, no dey add plenty emotions. The kingsmen can even penalize the so-called younger brother for indirectly wishing his elder brother death. Cos, from his body language, he's praying his elder brother doesn't come back. We ain't just talking about building here o, wot about d land d building is situated on? If the father's building belongs to d first son, den, d younger brother renovating, he should b commended for his good gesture, but dat doesn't give right to d ownership of d building/the land. In my area, the second to d last born was d first person da made money as a very tender age. He built wide bungalow where d entire family lived. They've now shared inheritance and he was given an empty land where he now build his own house and living with his family. The eldest brother now own d bungalow the were combinely living in... but is now super rich da he has built beautiful duplex near d bungalow and is even about demolishing d bungalow sef. But den, wot the eldest brother never did was to send anybody out of da pioneer building. U can live there till U're able to build ur own house. |

Nyanabo:I laugh at some comments,it seems many folks don't even know the intricate web of village politics,if he claims he renovated the house,his brother will claim that he actually defaced his property without his consent,if the house in question is the family house then it belongs to the firstborn but he has no authority yet to evict any of his brothers until they build their own house,but if the house in question is a rented town house apart from the family house then it will be shared by the brothers,in some cases what usually happens is they sell the rented house and split the money |

IconicR: The elders are not right before the Court of Law. Customs that are repugnant to natural justice are typically thrown out by the courts. Read recent court judgements on attempts by families to prevent daughters from sharing in their decesed Fathers' Estates in the name of customs and you would know better. |

Peter532:You father made a small mistake. He can’t renovate things that wasn’t shared. He was suppose to renovate only what belongs to him. Right now. Everyone must break even. Your father older brother can have his property but must pay every maintenance fee on that property or your father would leave it or remove the upgrade on those property. Eithers ways your father can’t gain it all |
