Alhassane Ouattara is showing workings and Paul biya is not.

Onunachu complained about the officiating last time out, his legit goal was ruled out
Crazy league

popizaino:
The victory is a statement of the will of the ivorians.

With Alhassane Ouattara,Cote d'ivore is in safe hands.

Only death or deteriorating health conditions can stop Ouattara from becoming the next good biya of Cote d'ivore.

As for Cameroun, the youth should better revolt, Paul Biya is an anomaly that should be stopped by all means.

iamoyindamola:
Is that their goal keeper?

You want your name to remain in the title deeds. You want your family to maintain presence in their ancestral home even if it's a city.

So when you say you're from Prot Harcourt for example, you have your family home there and not somewhere in the village

Spy360:
It's not about me/you, it's the ancestry. The male line is the true line. They will bear the family name. To do so, they need to have a place called home, enough to last for generations.

I am just arguing by the way.

If the man uses his wife's inheritance to buy property in his own name - what happens?

iamoyindamola:
This is what BlueRayDick have to understand too

raumdeuter:
In this world now, when most of the boys are in another country. You are talking about a property in Imo and your sons 3 of them are in Canada, Japan and USA. What is the point of the ancestral land to them

Spy360:
If you bring another family name into your ancestral land, don't you think it will lead to crisis in the future?

Where a stranger begins to drag property with the sons simply because they were married to their sister

We were advised to meet our Kabiyesi Oloworo to appease him. Each building contributed ₦10,000, and we bought goods worth over ₦400,000, which we took to the Kabiyesi.

You are missing it, not that i don't agree to female having share of family wealth
The is their husband, by law it becomes the husband property which won't be fair especially if the man is polygamous in nature, he's reaping where he didn't sow.
Unless there is a standing law that state the properties are meant for the woman and her kids

@ BlueRayDick
Quick question : I think recently you guys were discussing the new tax reform laws with Larride, did anyone mention the increase in capital gains tax from 10% to 30%? I am seeing stuff about this online but not sure if it is true...

Personally I consider it wrong move, for a country trying to encourage diaspora investment & FDI

Olowunl01:
No, those would be his personal wealth, to be shared as he pleases. Growing up when our Igbo neighbour died in an accident with his wife and son, my dad was involved in ensuring the daughter inherited his houses in Lagos & PH, but his Big Mansion in the village reverted to his kindred as the property was built on an inherited land. I am not unaware that even this tend to happen where the girl child has strong men fighting her corner as gluttonous relative most likely would try to overstep.

Have you considered that would happen to females in the previous generation who were excluded to the benefit of the father of the current girl child?

Spy360:
As an Igbo, customarily, no one owns the ancestral land. It belongs to the Umunna or kindred/extended family. In adulthood you're given a sizeable portion to build your home or whatever you like. But you don't own the land. In death, the property goes to the eldest son who manages it in trust for the entire family. If he has no sons, his wife and any daughters continue to live in the property. At the end, it will still go to the eldest in the family. In that way, women don't inherit and the property is preserved within the family. Especially the land.

Even when they sell, all the male heirs share the money. Women also get some share but it's not an entitlement.

Olowunl01:
We need to differentiate between ancestral land and parents owned ( not passed down property)

Just like we dont pass down kingship in our culture I dont think ancestral lands should be passed down to married woman, however she 100% inherit her parents personal wealth.

Ellexy:
Yeah later saw that. Additionally, relatives of the man shouldn't inherit the properties the man or lay claims to it when he has wife and children. I no dey in support of that one at all. A very wicked operation.

iamoyindamola:
This law actually protect female, there are some ruthless husband that marry the woman because of her family wealth, some go as far as killing her for it.

Ellexy:
As noble as this sounds, it can become short sighted when not balanced with wisdom if you want to protect your wealth and legacy.

A man can ensure his daughter's happiness and protection and at the same time make sure his wealth and legacy stays within.

And like Ibime pointed out, If your wealth is unconditionally tied to another family through marriage, and things go south (divorce, manipulation, death), that your daughter ends up vulnerable and unhappy and your goal of happiness for her fails.

Protecting your assets is not done sentimentally, it doesn’t also mean you're distrusting her or depriving her of her rights, it means building safety nets for her because people change and relationships evolve. This applies to male children too.

iamoyindamola:
But you are bearing your family surname

Spy360:
Ok.

Can a man inherit his wife's land when she dies even if it's at his in-laws

Theflint1:
You might not disinherit them, but you'd put guardrails in place to ensure that the family wealth is preserved, like there's an entire aspect of family estate management that deals with things like this.

E get where money go don reach before you begin think like this sha, also families that practice inheritance in this fashion tend to run a family business.

Ibime:
Family wealth lost through partners is called sideways disinheritance

For example your daughter dies and the man marries new wife. Your money will now be split between your grandchildren and his new wifes children. Or maybe your daughter is unfortunate enough to marry a schemer or polygamist

That's why some cultures practice the culture of passing on inheritance to grandchildren rather than children. By that stage, e done sure pass

iamoyindamola:
Not only Africa everyone protect wealth to their immediate family, no one was there when they are accumulating it

iamoyindamola:
Look at it this way the woman is taking the property out yo add to another family
It won't be fair to the male that will be part of the family for life

liveLongNprospa:
The good thing about these things is that rich men know how to draw up wills that ensure the wealth never leaves their side of the family even if the woman marries and takes another name.

Especially if they give birth to only women.
Lets look at Dangote now, let's say he has only female children. How do you think he will ensure all that wealth doesn't go to the families his daughters become a part of when they get married

Ellexy:
This has always been an interesting topic but culture differs. And I understand why women especially those who marry out don't get ancestral properties.

iamoyindamola:
Yes she deserve to inherit properties but in my opinion, once she marries the properties should be withdrawn so that it will remain part of the family
