Good evening elders. A friend of mine needs urgent advice before taking a bold step. He relocated to south Africa 6 years ago, and since he traveled he has been sending home some amount of money to help his father complete his house. So last year, unfortunately his father died and has since been buried. He just arrived from south Africa since then. Now he wants to renovate his fathers house to 3 bedroom flat because he's planning to marry next year, He's not returning to south Africa. But, his mom declined and said she won't allow him take over the house from her, though he promised to rent an apartment for her but declined. Now this has caused a lot of problem between the mother and son, because the son claims he built d house to that stage but the mother is claiming she is his mother and the wife to the late owner(father). He's planning on taking drastic steps which I have advised him against, but he seems not to understand everything I'm saying. I told him about nairaland, that there are experienced people who will give him d best advise and he's given me a go ahead. I will be sending these page link to him, so he can hear from d public and then know what to decide. He needs your sincere advise. Thanks Please help us help a brother 30 Likes 6 Shares |

For him to be the first son means he has siblings, those siblings have a right to live in their father's house till they get settled enough to live independently....it is their family's house irrespective of how the first son supported their late father in the building. 482 Likes 21 Shares |

Slimslimqq:What part of the country is he from, you say he’s a Nigerian. Mtchewww. Since he’s a “Nigerian” then let him take his mother to court and challenge her claim. 174 Likes 5 Shares |

Slimslimqq:He can't evict his mother and his sisters from the house, the house belonged to her late husband and his sisters have a right to live in their father's house till they get married. 228 Likes 8 Shares |

He is a stupid son. If the father was fighting with his own mum on his father's house, will the son have any claim to it? If he want to get married and thinks he is man enough to do so, he should go and rent a house and stay and leave his mother alone. 246 Likes 10 Shares |

Slimslimqq:Thought as much. In Igbo land, the son (depending on how many they are) becomes the owner of the properties once the father dies although the wife(s) get their own cut. He also has valid claims as the first son and since it was his money that raised the house afterall. If it’s a big enough house, he can live with his mother and his future family but for privacy reasons, he might as well just rent a flat for himself. However, if he doesn’t want to treat it as a civil matter, he can invite his clan to deliberate on the issue according to the customs of his people. What is his past relationship with his mother like? 37 Likes 2 Shares |

Slimslimqq:Being Yoruba even means his sisters are also entitled a share of the house, tell him to better go out and rent a house for himself in preparation of getting married next year as his mother will not be shifting an inch! 185 Likes 9 Shares |

Slimslimqq:For me, let him rent his own apartment and probably complete the house to at least a basic living standard. Some things, I don't have fight over. And he should also note what's he's going to be avoiding in the future buy renting his own house. 11 Likes 1 Share |

He should go and rent an apartment and start his family there. The house remains the family house. I wonder why this sort of thing should raise issues between the mother and son anyway. 111 Likes 3 Shares |

In Edo state, the First Son inherits the late Father's properties... The Mother (Late Man's Wife only have access to it, if the first Son is not up to 18 at the time of the burial). The Mother's job is to nurture the Son and keep the property safe for him till he gets to 18yrs. In this case, I think the Guy has gone too far trying to eject his own Mother and Sisters from the House. He should go somewhere else and leave the House for the family... unless he is a Bastard 70 Likes 3 Shares |

That son is a bastard I'm sure he supported the dad in the calculation that the poor man will soon die He want to send aways his mother from her matrimonial home then bring in another woman, he want to turn wife of landlord aka landlady to a tenant simply because she is a widow If the woman in question is not his biological mother probably like his dad second wife he will have probably murder her as a way to snatch her husband house, may God not let us give birth to useless kid, kid worse than dog Anything your friend do for his mum, he should know Kama is a bitch, it's while he's still alive that his own children will sell all his property and turn him to street begger while his children squandered his sweat on unknown ladies While some kids are thinking of taking care of their mama some are thinking of sending their to the gutters, Isn't the Bible straightforward when it's says the man shall leave his mother and father then cling to his wife If any of my kids show any tendency of madness like OP friend, or it's probably the OP himself, I'll disown the child and ensure ordinary stone he doesn't inherit from from, someone who cannot love his mother 129 Likes 9 Shares |

Poverty is vanity Plomo:You mean he should sue the women that breast fed him for almost 2years after carrying him for 9months? Just because of a girl that came from no where. You people are quick to forget that wives/husbands can become ex tomorrow but family will forever be family. Nothing like former family. Why don't he rent a new flat for he and his new wife? Like he is not even supposed to be told, its a common sense. 39 Likes 5 Shares
