Not saying the females shouldn't get, but the males should take and control the bulk of it, unless there are no male children, then the females should then inherit solely.

Why should the male take control of the bulk ? What qualifies them for taking majority while the female takes minority ?

raumdeuter:
I totally agree. Women are better managers of money and will protect the interest of her kids while a man might go have other kids outside and the new family chance the older kids

Also its easier to find irresponsible, womanizing men who will squander the assets than women especially when it comes to issue of properties

Exactly. Women who lose inherited assets are rare to see compared to men who lose theirs . A man would engage in all types of vices that the society allows them, while a woman would not even dare engage in such past-times for fear of what the society would say.

Theflint1:
No, I was referring to nuclear family inheritance, of course when a man dies, the woman should naturally inherit his assets, especially when the kids are still underage...same thing with when a woman dies. My position was on how inheritance should be done within a nuclear family when the kids are of age to partake in the sharing process.

When the kids are of age and the inheritance is to be shared , everyone should get a slice of it irrespective of ur gender . There’s no need saying the female shouldn’t get because u want to keep the assets in the family . Who makes up the family ? Is it not the same children ?

chrisooblog:
To be fair to Abike as much as na she dey put mouth it's really NEMA and the Nigerian Embassy in Sudan under the purview of the foreign affairs minister that are running the show so should actually be answering these questions.

ok

Theflint1:
I'm not really opposed to the inheritance of landed properties especially, and critical assets in general to male children, it's a good way to keep wealth within a family line.

What the Igbo culture/other cultures where the patriarchal distribution of properties is the norm is to find a way to have the interest of women protected in property distribution, maybe certain percentages get allotted to female children. Personally, I no really owe my children properties like that, wife and grandkids maybe, or as the spirit leads.

Male cousins, uncles, brothers and the likes coming to drag properties in families that aren't their nuclear families is just strange.

Women have proven time and time again to be good managers of money . They manage the home with meagre finance from the husband when he’s probably erecting a building , saving to buy a family car, invest in the future etc.

I don’t think it makes sense talking all those husband’s investment away from her on the flimsy excuse of “keeping critical family assets in the family line “. Let that woman keep the assets and train her kids out of it. It makes no sense transferring those assets to a brother or uncle who will always have his own self interest at heart first before any other person

Emaprince:
It happens. But then it also depends on the kind of uncles you have. The wicked and greedy ones will want to chance the woman since she has no male child.

These days though.. things are getting softer. It's no longer a rigid tradition like it used to be.

Let’s just hope the rigidity of some of these traditions get more and more relaxed with passing of time o.

I can’t imagine my sister being in such position where an uncle comes and starts laying claim to properties acquired by their son and my sister in the course of their marriage .

Realmrsean:
in my tribe, when the elders wants to talk, it's either the male elders have a meeting or the female elders have a meeting on their own

Nothing like mixture, men and women elders sitting on one table and discussing..

The males here don't rate women at all

In some community in Yoruba land , even the male child of a female from a royal family can ascend the throne .

For example if ur mum is from a royal family and it’s time to select a king, u as her son can be elected king despite the fact that ur dad is not a prince ; only ur mum is a direct princess .

Realmrsean:
so women even dey follow participate for elders general meeting in your tribe

There are male and Female elders na

raumdeuter:
Where issues usually arise are in polygamous settings where the man has multiple wives
Without a will.
In most cases, the children of the first marriage will use that opportunity to settle beef vs the younger women who deprive their mother marital joy

So its common that the children from first marriage will corner every choice property and only give remnant to the younger wife kids

Technically in Christian setting, Only the first wife is recognized by law. So the younger wives, better hustle make the man put things in your name before he dies otherwise na sorry be your name

Some of the very young wives might even have to start nacking the older kids who have access to the properties to secure their future

E.g like a rich man dies his first set of kids are around 50yrs but his youngest wife is 30s with younger kids. We have had instances where the young wife miht have to use her feminine appeals on the children of the eldest

I can imagine Ned Nwoko has kids older than Regina, If Ned dies today, How Regina wan survive or get access to some of Neds properties without a will or without warming the bed of the older sons

The bold was the case of Kola, MKO Abiola’s son. Alaye was privileged to have already been an adult before their father’s demise .

You know the man MKO likes women really well and was always having them at his beck and call being one of the richest in the land. Kola dealt with some of those young wives, they saw shege . Some of them had to go back to their professional career before baba married them in order for them to see their children out of schools

izzou:
[color=royalblue]My dad willed everything to my mum while he was still alive.

Infact, e put both their names on every valuable property he had

When he died, nobody had the guts to show up for any sharing formula. And luckily for us, some of what he had saw us through life in those challenging times.

A man should always be wary of where he is coming from. If you know you have ravenous wolves as relatives, use your head[/color]

Omo! Thank God for dad’s wisdom. I usually think it’s just nollywood over-bloating the whole thing, didn’t know those things still happen now.

raumdeuter:
Yes. My mother has properties she inherited from her father who died in the 80s. Though for ease of sharing they decided to sell it and shared the money equally among all the living children

Same with my mum too. We even have elderly relatives whose parents left 4-5 buildings which they rent out in commercial areas of today and they share the rent money every year amongst the surviving children and the grandchildren of those who are deceased.

Realmrsean:
in my tribe, any man that doesn't have son will see shege in the hands of his uncle's when he is probably dead

The wife, the daughter will see shege pro max


It's better to adopt one even

So if a man leaves a will with his lawyer transferring all his assets to his wife and female children what will the uncles do ?

They will not respect the wishes of their late brother ?

Realmrsean:
do the females Inherit landed properties of their parents in your tradition?

Yes

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I had my thoughts on this too.

But when i listened to the guy, he said they entered one of the buses, but they were asked to come down and another group entered.

Why would they do that?[/color]

Let’s wait for the official explanation . I would love to see Abike wriggle her way out of this as usual .

This post is not self-explanatory ; it takes a discerning mind to actually understand what message the author of the news article was trying to pass across .

So Indomie being made in Malaysia and Taiwan was found to be containing a cancer causing chemical and it has been banned in that country .

Now NAFDAC is saying they don’t allow people import indomie; instead the indomie being sold in Nigeria are all made in Nigeria except anybody smuggled the “abroad “ own into the country .

To be on the safer side, NAFDAC wants to sample the indomie being made and consumed in Nigeria; to be sure ours does not have the same cancer causing chemical like Malaysia’s and Taiwan’s .

Theflint1:
Nigeria is a deeply tribal state, something like this was naturally expected to result from the segregation they did in Sudan. I don't know whose idea it was to segregate Nigerians in a foreign country, it wasn't a very smart thing to do...whether this video is true or not, a situation like this could have been easily prevented by doing the right thing.

Abike Dabiri didn't do herself, the diaspora commission and the ministry of foreign affairs any service by making that tweet...for someone who spent a good part of her career in communications, she's been doing a horrible job of communications and PR.

Na wa o.

E come be like say na only football dey unite Nigerians. Small evacuation wey dem supposed run sharperly and let the world continue moving , dem still use tribalism dey run am again ? 🤦‍♂️

Funny enough , I know the easiest explanation that will come from Abike’s crew. They may likely claim the evacuation is being done in batches and that the guy is raising false alarm cos he and others are scheduled for batch B.

raumdeuter:
The female child thing not inheriting is even news to me. It doesn't happen in Yoruba land sha.

As in……Most of the females I knew growing up got enough inheritance from their parents’ estate . I only watch it in nollywood movies of yester-years that some cultures don’t allow the female child get inheritance . It’s news to me that people still cling to that kind mentality this 2023.

izzou:


[color=royalblue]Instead of this confused lot to talk about WHY they go on strikes, he is reminding them that they don't deserve shi-shi

See as e dey list allowances; Hazard, inducement, blah blah blah

If you check am now, e no reach 100k per month.

I am happy that Nigerians are learning by experience [/color]

I no dey even bother watch that kind video cos I know na nonsense and propaganda go full am.

Like u said in ur last paragraph, Nigerians are learning by experience and will continue to learn going forward .

Cromagnon:
what is she going to do with it?
You think predators will be looking at Awoof and let it alone? You women have no idea how violent the world is? Ïtmgd left to the man cos he can defend it.

Like seriously ?

So a female child doesn’t deserve a share of her late parent’s estate cos she’s going to lose it to predators ?

Omo ! This doesn’t even make any sense at all. A male child can as well lose the money to SportyBet or any get Rich quick scheme. In fact any gender can lose inheritance bequeathed on him/her due to financial foolishness .

I believe a male and female child have equal rights to their parents’ estate. It’s primitive thinking this way u are thinking in the year 2023 AD

akwesenana:
Both institutes buried their hatchets (temporarily) to support the BAT.

It’s a site to behold . Seeing agbado politics uniting the great duo of sports section .😁

Theflint1:
So in essence you do have a grouse with him?

Raumdeuter and airmark are two great Amala turners that founded two separate institutes where Amala turners are moulded for the future ( No/all puns intended ).

Airmark owns citadel institute of sports and youth development while Raumdeuter chairs the board of Apari Sports Inc.

Amoto94:
For every FFK there is Don J who wished the former Governor dead only for him to be the most vocal and influential supporter on NL (many attributed their interest in the last election to his persistent messages), I will even say Don J was more influential than FFK.

💯

GloriousGbola:
FFK is a certified anywhere belle face political prostitute. He may still pivot to LP tomorrow. Abeg no use am for this argument

What of Keyamo? Will he join LP tomorrow too ?

airmark:
I have no grouse with him, only that i detest treacherous people. They are the most dangerous.

You have no grouse with him, but u believe he’s treacherous ? 🌚

airmark:
I never claimed that.

I was just shocked that we could see a strong Obidient, who may not even have an LP membership card, calling Obi, Ekwensu, for his performance as Governor. A sharp contrast of the person portrayed as clean, the best governor in Anambra history. Come on!

Like u’ve not seen Lagosians calling out Tinubu during and after his governorship tenure in Lagos ? I once shared his long battle with the Labour union here in the early 2000’s

Politicians will always have people disgruntled by their actions and inactions while in power

I will be the last person to defend Don J on matters like this , but if someone like FFK who wrote all these about Tinubu 3 years ago can make it to the PCC of Tinubu then why guilt trip those who said vile things about Obi that did not even get an official position on his campaign team ?

airmark:
Well, Tinubu never told you and me, he had only 1 or two pairs of shoes or one wrist watch. He never said he no dey give shishi. Person wey no dey give shishi, clean in all his dealings, performed greatly as governor, shouldn't be tagged Ekwensu based on his performance in Anambra.

Is this ur grouse with Peter Obi ?

GloriousGbola:
Because we have a shining example on this platform na. I think we all witnessed the loudest and most aggressive Peter obi supporters old posts where he so hated the man he wanted him to DIE.

A few months ago a lot of old posts of twitter supporters of Peter obi where unearthed - I remember the bitter complaints about the roads he built

It's actually a political strategy employed very well esp in the US. This person looks like they have a rising profile and they may run for president some day. Start attacking them from now. By the time they eventually run, the average voter will have it in the back of their mind that this person is controversial, there is something about him I just don't like. I heard something about him but I can't remember what it is.

If by this u are referring to Don J, there are people like him in Tinubu’s camp. FFK is the most popular amongst them.

There are many of them who are on Twitter too. I’ve a quite handful of tweets from users on Twitter who criticized him back then but campaigned for him vigorously this last election.

I even have friends whom were his strongest critics while we were students but today they card carrying members of APC and participated in the numerous “walks” they organized for him during the campaign .

U and airmark are making it seem like it’s only Peter Obi that had supporters who never fancied him in the past but suddenly do now . It cuts across both camp. That’s my point

GloriousGbola:
Well, I'm not sure politicians count. Politicians gonna politic. But when you have the people who experienced and complained about lacklustre governance first hand, and then turned round to say actually this man was the best governor ever liveth

And as Tinubu has said in the past he recognises that attacking him has always been a means of building clout. Ffk attacked him to build clout with pdp, El rufai attacked him to show loyalty to Obj, keyamo attacked him when he was trying to get clout as a new gani. Today hundeyin is attacking him to build clout with the obidient movement. He may have hoped it would grow beyond that but that is not happening.

Basically there was something in it for most of the people who have attacked Tinubu over the years. Loyalty to their sponsors, celebration as an attacker of the establishment.

But those who attacked Peter obi attacked him because he was a lousy governor. They are now supporting him because...

This is just whataboutism and nothing more . U can easily excuse why people who criticize Tinubu in the past did it, but u can’t do same for those who critiqued Peter Obi ?

Haba! This will not fly today . Not today

airmark:
Well, unlike Tinubu, we were made to believe that Obi was the best and the cleanest. His performance in Anambra was unmatched and a reference. So, any of his Obidients that have called him Ekwensu in the past, need more explanations to do Because, some people may injure you for calling them Ekwensu.

The same applies to Tinubu here . His supporters make the same claims for him about Lagos. It’s the same track record they used to market him was the same thing Ribadu rubbished by calling him a corrupt ex-governor when I swear to God he will face the full wrath of the law.

It is the same proven track record and impeccable character that used as his selling point in the last concluded election that was overlooked by FFK when he called him “a bat from hell and Asiwaju of blood” as recent as October 2020.

Keymo who today thinks Asiwaju was an astute businessman and political juggernaut whose track record stands him apart from other candidates called him “certificate forger” and thought him underserving of being a governor . Don’t u think it’s disgusting he volunteered to be his spokesperson during the presidential election 23 years after ?

Are u selecting what disgusts u?

airmark:
Who is now the Ekwensu between her and Obi?

Imagine, wanting an Ekwensu to be the President of Nigeria, just because he is from her tribe. Disgusting.

Fani Kayode called Tinubu “a Bat from hell and Asiwaju of blood “; Yet he later wished him to be the president of Nigeria .

Keyamo called Tinubu a certificate forger and sued the state house of assembly to Supreme Court level for hastily clearing him of certificate forgery .He later become spokesperson for this “Certificate forger” and abused anybody who don’t buy the idea of the “certificate forger “ being made president 23 years after .

Ribadu not only called Tinubu corrupt, but promised the “corrupt ex-governor “ will not escape justice. He was like the most active member on Tinubu’s campaign team 15 years later .

If we are talking of disgust from people shifting position about their particular candidate in the last concluded election; na Tinubu camp disgusting people full from top to bottom .
