Did he help his father to take over his property after death.. what does he think of his mother in the first instance? That the woman should pack out for him or what to a rented apartment ? He must be joking to have taken such a wrong step.. a child that can't honour his parents dead or alive will end up in the pit of life. He must go and build his own house instead of disturbing the peace of a widow . Our father's house is different from my own house . |

Pls speak for yourself. I am Urhobo and in my culture the wife owns everything in the case of the husband's demise. Wether you're first son or first spirit, that one concern you. The property belongs to the wife and when the man dies it will be shared among all the children both males and females alike. In my culture there's nothing like discrimination in allocating property to females. My grandfather died last year and before his death he shared property to his children and even gave some females without giving to a particular uncle of mine. Wether you're a male or female whenever you're ready you can inform your "aged" father to give you a share of his property and he will. That's how it's done. bishopjoe02: 2 Likes |

Is there no wicked uncle in his family like the ibos normally have that will teach him some sense? Abeg, no do am strong thing oo but be like say the boy dey smoke colo.... He's not thinking straight. Ordinarily, you are supposed to MOVE OUT of your father's house not the other way round regardless of who financed the building.

baby124:Did you read and comprehend what you are commenting of ? How does that match what you have typed? The Yorubaland I am talking about is the one that the SUpreme Cour passed a judgment on in 1957 in sunmonu vs suberu . Go and read the judgment Read and comprehend properly before boiling over like a kettle I said in Yorubaland a woman does not inherit her husbands property under Customary Law. Is that n dispute? So what is all this Irohin that you are saying? You just want to show yourself |

kalvoken: Why all this emotional nonsense? If not for you telling us I used to believe women carried babies for 2 months. My bad !! so it is 9 months People have been suing there mothers before you were born and will do so long after you have gone if necessary It has no bearing to this issue Why the difficulty in finding a coherent and rational argument devoid of this emotional claptrap? Surely there is a better argument Women breastfeed children of other people it has no meaning 90 days in the womb and 900 days breast feeding is not something anyone has any memory of. It is irrelevant |

aribisala0:What is Sumonu vs Suberu? Which judgment in this world will support your so called statement? She does not inherit, so she’s a tenant or what. So, like you said, women are chattels abi what nonsense did you come up with to justify and conclude the judgment. I should go and read the judgment. Made in court about a culture I know? You copy and paste the judgment you are quoting here and let us dissect. The fact that a woman at her death can will intestate property does not mean she cannot inherit. After the mans death she inherits and at her death she wills her property. The home her and her husband built is a family house sef. No one can lay exclusive claim to it. Not even the husband. So the man dies without a will, the widow is left penniless or what? For your information she gets about 50% plus the house she and the husband lived in at least. The rest is split evenly among the kids. Some, nothing can be split sef till mama dies and wills it. |

aribisala0:Post your so called judgment here. You are hilarious. You think you can just lie on this platform about the contents of a judgment and insult women. Then we believe you because you think everyone is too lazy to research. Look after the mans death, if the mother who has the documents does not file a letter of administration to document and share the assets, nothing for you. If you like kill yourself there. Try to go to Nigerian courts and tell the judge the constitution says women are chattels and cannot inherit their husbands property. Try it, if you are not laughed out of the court. Rubbish. Know this now, the widow has first priority and then the kids. Something I have personally witnessed. In fact it’s worse when the man dies without a will. Shi shi, you no go see. Go court up and down, you go tire. Na you sabi. You help your father build a house on his land, it’s his house, not yours. 1 Like |

baby124:orí ojori and ìdí igi came tó be But the properties were even shared amongst the wife not the children. Then sumonu vs suberu has been upturned in the recent case of Ukeje v Ukeje (2014) 11NWLR (Pt 1341) 185SC The Supreme Court ruling voided the centuries-old Igbo tradition that barred females from becoming beneficiaries of family estates, especially in their towns and villages. |

jidxin:Don’t mind him. He thinks he can write something and everyone will believe. Even before the Ukeje judgment. Yoruba make provisions for the widow. She’s not a chattel o, it’s even based on the mama they are first considered. Especially the WIDOW. Different if we are talking baby mama here. I think he’s confusing what the widow inherits vs what is left for the children. The kids only have access to their father’s house. The mother fully occupies and owns it till her death. She cannot sell it because it is there to provide shelter when the kids need it. After her death, it’s usually not even willed to anyone but owned as a joint property among the kids. That guy is high on something. |

aribisala0:Hyperventilating on a real life experience? You talk like someone that lacks brains. You quote a judgement, post it here per the constitution. Someone already stated something contrary to your so called bull shit and posted the link for proof. You are judging based on your mother who was not married to your father or what? |

The guy has a right to share in the late father's property but not to claim it all for himself. Since he has other siblings and the mother is still alive, I would advise him to forget dragging the house with the mother, because the other siblings who are also females have the right also to drag the house. Going to court is him wasting money because the mother and the siblings would win him |

Re: Mother Or First Son, Who Is Entitled To The Late Father's Property by aribisala0(m): 8:00am On Aug 10, 2021 |
jidxin: I am not sure what you mean by that word "upturned" Ori ojori and Idi igi is a totally unrelated issue to whether a wife can inherit her husbands property so you are mixing things up Those issues are tangential and related to POLYGAMY and how property are shared among the children of a POLYGAMOUS marriage. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with a wife's right to inherit Rather it is about CHILDREN not WIVES With regard to being overturned . The judgment in Sunmonu v Suberu was given at the Supreme Court with respect to Yoruba tradition/Custom and you are citing a judgment with respect to Ibo law and Custom. They are totally different systems This is just like saying The judgment on Ibo traditional law has overturned Sharia law that is illogical There are fundamental reasons why Ukeje does not apply in Yoruba law. Anyone who is grounded in Yoruba tradition knows this Spouses do not inherit each other's property It operates BOTH WAYS. Women do not inherit from their husbands and vice versa. Ukeje is about the right of a female child NOT wife. The Yoruba tradition is that inheritance is BY BLOOD. The wife is not a relative by blood So the Ukeje case which is based on a "discrimination" against women(children of deceased) is inapplicable A supreme court judgment can only be AUTOMATICALLY interpreted to overturn a judgment of a LOWER court . To say it overturned Sunmonu v Suberu is wrong unless that was explicitly stated. That Ukeje judgment does not cover all Native and Customary law in Nigeria or Sharia law just Ibo law. |
