Since there were no signatories from the Igbo section and there was never a time Ndigbo were under the rule or influence of Obong of Calabar, it is safe to say that Ndigbo were never part of Nigeria and the so called "civil war" was Nigerian invasion of a sovereign state

This is music to my ears

Judging from the protest pictures, I don't think these people want this Oduduwa something.
You can even see people behind laughing at them

Whether they represent the majority or not, the sad and only truth is that the Igbo man's heart was never and will never be with or in Nigeria

With all these security agencies in Igboland, how many did they leave for boko haram to kill in Borno?
I hope boko won't start attacking civilians when they run out of soldiers to kill

Legendforte:
Thats one of the issue, for one not to be married at that age says much about her. anyway I hate violence, quick recovery to her. say no to sentiments. should the brother live in space?

There is definitely something wrong with that woman that made her to be unmarried at 59 years

Wollykayb:
Thats how ur people ran mouth and lost millions of people to Yoruba soldiers

When are you going to learn ur lesson from history ?

Men ( Eastern region and Northern region) fight, women tell the stories

Wollykayb:
Miscreants delusional attachment by force pigs

We all knw the reason you are shouting for Biafra attaching SE to SS by force just bcs of the oil resources in the SS.

If all SE state get Biafra without SS, you all know you will be more poorer than Somalia.

Oduduwa nation never get attach to any region rather its other region that are claiming that they are part of Oduduwa republic bcs we are selfsufficient
Spit

Yeah SE will be poorer than Somalia just like the recent statistics says

AntiWailer:
If u dnt see gender, u take on Ur brother that said "Women should av no say" and not me so u stop the hypocrisy first.

Your bias for Son is very glaring in Ur poorly scripted submissions

As for Ur other rants about whatever, u can gas on ur opinion. My principle is mine and until u walk in my shoes, u dnt tell me how my toes feel because u are a Professor of feelings.

That is why I said you shouldn't be taking it personally. We are all from different backgrounds and should table our views from a neutral perspective.
And your self hate for the male sex is disturbing

EdmundDantes:
Very possible for very many reasons....

Then it is not right. It is pure wickedness.
Well I still don't believe the 59 year old woman that the father can do such without proof

AntiWailer:
I dnt understand what is paining u about my position.

I stated my position and even explained why I don't think the Norm is right.

That is what a public forum is all about. Just state reasons why u think Ur daughter does not deserve anything from Ur sweats and move on.

Like I said, I replied the guy who said "A lady should have no say in his father's property" I av explained why I think the statement does not make any iota of sense.

If that is Ur position too then I can't help it and that means I am also talking to you that u are also not making sense in my opinion.

Thank u.

Still taking it personally.
Please my brother everybody is not like you that sees gender when they look at their children. When I look at my children all I see is replicas of me irrespective of their gender, and I treat them the way I treat myself.
And finally, everybody's father is not like yours that doesn't have properties worth claiming. Or are you telling me that your father had fruitful companies and you decided to ditch them to uphold your so called "principle" without it making news.
Again stop judging from your own perspective, you only end up exposing your background through it

Honestly I tire for Nigerians and Humans in general,
A female was excluded from the father's will. We accused the father of sexism and fought on her behalf.
Now a woman is claiming that the father willed everything to her and made her promise not to share with the brother and some are here saying "the guy should go and hustle"
Where is the Equality?

AntiWailer:
It is his will, he decides who will be there.

U don't have to defend Ur need to lazy around and wait for inheritance by judging the man.

What if the boy already sold or stole his own Inheritance, he must be giving more just because he is a boy ?

Abeg park well.

I think you are speaking from experience. My brother from this side people already have properties before their parents die.
Back to the bone of contention, the woman is yet to provide the will papers. Besides if she manages to do so, nobody has the right to exclude any of his offspring being male, female or useless from his will.
The court will nullify such

AntiWailer:
I addressed the position that a Woman should have no say in her father's property.

Read very well.

I decided not inherit it because the principle that guide me now, I upheld it since and it has helped me in life up till this moment.

And everybody should go and work for their life. A man must not serve u all his life and still die and u continue to leach on his sweats.

Go and work for what Ur children will inherit too that u can proudly say I WORKED FOR IT.

Mr Man stop taking everything personally and referring to the other party as if he is the one in the news. Emotions don't win cases in court, proofs do.
You decided not to inherit your father after he passed on but do you know that some people started building properties their own children will inherit while their parents were still alive.
Again, stop judging things from your own perspective

AntiWailer:
If he is a useless son.


He has the right to exclude anybody he wished from his will.

He sweated for it and can make that final decision.

The boy should go and work for his own and make his decision too.

If the son is useless then the father is equally useless for raising a useless son and at such must include him in his will or allow the court to do so.
This is not an excuse for excluding anybody or gender from your will

Minjim:
Here is an extract

Property not properties.

That is more proof that it is almost all. If not all.
Remember she didn't say "my share of the property" but "the property in question"

AntiWailer:
The quote I replied to was very specific. You can go and read it again.

As for this family that is their business.

Only a useless man will be fighting for his father's property. Go and use the training he gave u to acquire yours too.

I inherited nothing from my father and that was deliberate despite all he left behind.

There is no reason for you to take this personally, just call a spade what it is and move on.
The woman should share whatever is the property with her brother. You don't know the financial status of the brother and how well he relates with the members of the family and denying him such might ruin his chance of becoming anything meaningful in the near future.
My brother sometimes it is not good to judge everything from your perspective. So because you did not inherit anything from your father another man will not while his 59 year old sister takes everything

Minjim:
It's not right.
If there is no will the next thing is for the siblings to reach a compromise

Abi oh, honestly we have been blinded by feminism that whe forgot that misogyny can be targeted at both sexes.
Even if she has a document to prove it, is it not the same thing the feminists are fighting against? How can a man totally exclude his son from his will for the favour of his 59 year old daughter

Minjim:
She's only in control of that particular property. Maybe that's the only property their dad had .

No that doesn't concur with the article. She said the father gave her everything and made her promise not to pass any to her brother

AntiWailer:
The difference with me is that I don't follow any stupeed culture or tradition, I use common sense.

Ask urself if it is fair that Ur sister can be a prostitute to take care of her siblings because she is a woman but have no say when it comes to properties because she is a woman.
(Not literarily talking about Ur sister )

Just think about it.

And you think it is fair for a 59 year old woman to claim that her father willed all his properties to her without any document to prove it and still refused to share with her brother

AntiWailer:
Place in custody is different from willed to.

As for me, it is already in her name. So spot the difference.


Not going to raise useless boys any way, but incase anybody start any rubbish, it is very clear.

Remember there was no document to prove that the father willed everything to her. But even if he did, is it right for him to totally exclude his son from the will?

flokii:
What are we saying, what is this one saying?

Chimamanda is everywhere running amok with feminism and women rights in oyinbo land but back home are people hold on to a crude culture of denying the girl child any form of inheritance. If it's not hypocrisy on her part, then I don't know what else to call it

Are you sure we all read the same article? The woman is fully in control of all the father's property and claimed that he handed it over to her and made her promise not to grant her brother access to them

Chimeluv:
He is insane

Both are actually insane.
The 59 year old woman who is fully in control of the property claimed that the property was placed in her custody and the brother shouldn't gain access to it.
While the brother took laws into his hands.

AntiWailer:
Stupeed and useless tradition.

Women can inherit the poverty and take over the burden she knows nothing about in the event the father dies early and leave behind a whole local Govt for her to take care of.

Women has no say but they are allowed to go and prostitute to take care of a stroke ridden father and other rats he gave birth to when some situation warrants it.

The earlier u people throw the useless tradition away the better.

Women and vulnerable and I already willed my first house to my first daughter. Anybody who give her any stress should be shot at sight.

Read the article again, the woman is fully in control of the father's property and doesn't want the younger brother to gain access because as she said "was placed in my custody"

DexterousOne:
What is this one saying?

Read the article again. The woman is fully in charge of the father's property which she claimed was placed in her custody

Pauladex:
It is quite unfortunate that a typical African man or woman don't belief in change. How could you forget that in the time past many twins were killed, just for been twins, what of albino and people with hunchback. Someone rose up and begin to do something that brought about change. Change your mind set, belief in power to change thing. It may not be now, in your life time, you will see the difference. Peace.

Reread the article, the 59 year old woman is fully in charge of the father's property which she claimed the father placed in her custody and refused to grant access of even an inch to the brother

Nbotee:
In Igboland, a woman doesn't administer her father's property..

Something is fishy in this case, it looks like the woman is more powerful than her brother and wants to take over the entire property without any regards for her brother. See her statement "he placed the properties in my custody" and when it turned to something else she wanted to use feminism and pity to get the brother locked away.
They should try and give the son something na, because from the look of it the son might be really poor and denying him access to an inch his father's property is pure injustice and wickedness

dederocs:
Slave!

Speaking from your lineages experience

OrluFemmeKing:
From my understanding of the post, i think the original owner of the properties (the late father) had a late elder son whom he most likely had wanted to be the one to inherit the properties but since he is late and maybe the children are still too young, he now handed the said properties to his daughter to manage for those his grandchildren till they are of suitable age to handle them.

You should be able to detect when somebody is speaking from sentiments.
How can the father pass all his property to his daughter with no regards for the son?
From the post you will realize that not even an inch was given to the son. This is not a case of disregarding a female child but that of a male child which would not make news because the males don't have any group like feminists fighting on their behalf

dederocs:
Coward!

I wish you the same

And what is a 59 year old woman still doing in her father's house?
See eh, Nigerian feminists this is just a trip into the future.
Well I'm waiting for the other side of the story before I make mistake in judgment like an average Nigerian

Osagyefo98:
Igbos are doing their business already. Na only u dey fight imaginary war in your father's compound.

unfortunately, nobody notices u

Speak for yourself
