For his owm sake, let him leave the house for the wife since she is also his mother and make peace with her, earn her blessings and with hardwork and smartwork, he can achieve much better but any other way, he will destroy himself. |

frozen70:what interests and safety? The house belongs to his mother first. As the first son, he can inherit after his mother dies. You can't eject your mother from her to go live in rented house. As for those shouting south east, I have seen this first hand in a case of step mother. I wish it is the woman that is asking for this advice. All she has to do is lodge a case at the customary court and this son that is behaving like a bastard will be taught some sense 2 Likes |

Sometime it's best to endure and avoid trouble with loved ones so that you can prosper beyond measure. He should not have even tried to fight over the house with him Mum , he needs her blessings and prayers, he should apologize to her and get a place to rent and bring the wife he wants to marry to see his mum for familiarity. |

The head of the family if a man dies intestate is the First eldest son. the mother should reason and think of the comfort and future of his children as the care of burden would still be on the first son. I think the mother is just been possessive and there s more to this story cos most mothers who had issues with their husband tenaciously cling to the property thinking this is a reward for all the years of maltreatment and suffering however i see this as a poor judgment and callousness, Son should take over the property, renovate and if he wishes settled the mother in a better apartment or allow live in same house. that the proper way and right thinking people should go I HAVE A SON TOO, he should not give in to the wish of his mother, imagine i leave property and my first son is not allowed to live in it, i will get up from my grave and throw that woman out. |

Please advise your friend whom you say is also reading this to calm down. The worst thing he can do is to go to war with his mother. Everyone in that family has the right to live there as long as they wish, till they soujorn out to different endeavours. And you cannot build or renovate anything in that building without working together with your mom. It is your father's house, but also remember it is her husband's house as well. And it has been that for quite a long time before it became your father's house. What if she aborted you, will you be here fighting her over a house? That day you got lost at 6yrs old, what if she didn't spend 8hours under the sun and rain looking till she found you...would you have been here to drag a house with her? 1st, you should go rent/buy/acquire/procure/get a new apartment and settle down with his new wife. Second, you should go and mend fences with his widowed mother who is still suffering the loss of her husband. Believe me, the mother is also thinking that she has lost the son the same as she lost her husband. So please go and make up with your mom so that woman can live out the remaining days of her life in peace and love. My people say, " He who has a normal penis does not know the suffering of some having a swollen scrotum". Some people are wishing to still have their mother alive and you are here trying to drag yours to court over a piece of inherited property. In Igboland, you will be called an efulefu. Bros, just calm down cos the property will still be yours to administer. Very soon, by God's grace, your sisters will all soon marry out and you will later start looking for whom to come to stay in the building with you. Guy, focus ooooo, and think of buying your mom a new car. |

NoToPile: English language is important. I Never said wives "don't" inherit. What I said is they are not entitled by customary law to do so This is the case in Virtually all Yoruba culture. . Wives are not entitled to inherit from husbands and husbands are not entitled to inherit from wives He may make gifts whilst alive but after death inheritance in Yorubaland is BY BLOOD as far as rights are concerned wives have no ENTITLEMENT of course many families exercise discretion in these things and what happens in practice varies |

The fact is that; if the Father didn't will the house to the mum, then it automatically belongs to the only son. but then, the best thing to do right now is for the son to rent another apartment and stay with his wife, while the mum and his siblings remain in the family house. it is obvious the house will come to him one day, its his house not his mum's or the siblings'; nobody is contesting that. |

As long as you mother married the late father legally she is the legal owner of the house except there is a will to that effect. Op u renovated your father's house u didn't build it so that house isn't yours since is not even in your name. If u have a bad family/step family the best thing to do is to move on else it won't end well for you. For your ur own safety start your family elsewhere. If your family has been good to you and u want to eject them (a grieving wife/mother, siblings ) after your father's death then u are a wicked son whom should have been mensurated out. |

bishopjoe02: Wrong, am a Deltan. In my place the wife owns everything if there is no will (Who first son help) and properties are shared among the family with the widow consent. When my dad passed away my older brothers sold all my dad properties so we could relocate, see wahala from my dad uncles until my mum told them it was with her consent before they let my brothers be. We didn't even bother to share anything with mumsy the new house we bought is in her name only. That is our family compound for the grandkids to holiday and for marriage ceremonies. |

authority2006: Having a discussion with his own mother is equal to arm twisting her how?? If she decides to sell the house or do whatever with it, can he stop her? should he spend his future on another man’s property he has no ownership right over?

Plomo: You're wrong, despite many likes you get as support. In Igbo Kingdom no son has right above her mother whom is wife of his father and his mother. It's only when family keep calm for peace to be that such foolish first son think he's wise to claim family property. No man can make a will that all his properties belong to his first son only, while the renaming children's should search for God knows where to live or inherits. what is so special about been first son that guarantee him' the first son to inherit all his father sweat only him? a man that will all to first son is not suppose to have more than one child at first place, because there's no need to born some to inherits and others to suffer. when a man die his wife automatically replace him in everything including the property, the mother not the children's has right on whom lives in her house. A wise family don't need to trouble their mother in her husband house because she is rightful owner of the property recognize by government and some culture including some IGBO CLAN especially where there is no will. No government recognize children's as owner of property when there is no will, instead government recognize the wife. so next time get your information from widows experience before misled people in the name of Igbo custom.

aribisala0: There's no difference in what I said and what you are saying. By wives I meant Yoruba wives, the opening sstatement ' In Yoruba culture' covers that. You are still saying wives do not (are not entitled to) inherit in Yoruba culture and I am challenging that. |

NoToPile:There is a world of difference. Yes I understood you to mean Yoruba wives or at least wives of Yoruba men subject to Customary law so what is your point with that? Yes that is what I am saying Do not and are not entitled to are very different scenarios I said "are not entitled to" In Yoruba culture spouses are not entitled to ( have no rights to) inherit each other whether a wife or a husband. Husbands are not entitled to inherit from wives and vice versa The only entitlement to inherit in Yoruba culture is relatedness BY BLOOD That is not to say Friends DO NOT inherit from friends. It can happen but not by right |

How do u drag house with your mother? As in your real mama o... So in a space of few months, you want her to loose both her home and her husband all because u want to marry? Things are not done Like that. If the compound still has space, pls erect another structure within it and move in with your would be wife. You can only start dragging house and claiming first born son status at the demise of both parents. Pls let that woman live out her days in peace biko. You see what these men do? After causing this kind of bad blood between yourself and your mother, you will now bring in an innocent wife who will use head to carry all the problem! Mama will be beefing the poor lady, thinking she was the one who advice's you to throw her out not knowing you reached the decision all by yourself and for yourself! |

obama30:End of Discussion. |
| Re: Mother Or First Son, Who Is Entitled To The Late Father's Property by Plomo: 1:56pm On Aug 10, 2021 |
obama30: Please next time, read to understand my guy. I never said first son, I said ”In Igbo land, the son (depending on how many they are)”. A man can choose to will all his properties to his first son, he can also choose to will all his properties to his 5th daughter, he can even choose to will his properties to charity and nothing to his children and family. As long as the will is valid according to state probate laws, a man can transfer ownership of his estate in event of death as he deems fit. You better go and do your research. I don’t know what part of igboland you claim to be from but when a man dies and his son is of age, he automatically takes over his father’s properties. The wife is only entitled to the house her husband built for her or in the generosity of the son, the father’s compound is shared and she takes a portion of it. It’s called Mkpuke di ya, if I’m not mistaken. The recognized law is the law of the land, the law of the government is only secondary. If a man dies without a will in igboland, as long as they are of age, ONLY THE SON(or sons if he had more than one) shares his properties. NOTHING GOES TO THE DAUGHTERS. The wife only takes care of the properties till the children comes of age. Ezeani my foot. |

I think the man should go rent an apartment elsewhere and leave the house for his mum and siblings. But on the second note, don't you think it's the wife to be that is putting him to this? My thoughts though� |

Slimslimqq: God i pray let me not have a foolish son or daughter as your friend, who will be thinking to drag my property with my sweet loving wife when i am no more. My wife is Number 1 and everything to me and my children's are second, If she like let her kill me i don't care. Any of my children's that will try to provoke my wife when i am no more will be strike dead by my spirit, because i did not trouble my father. I knew what my wife pass through to give births to them, and what it cause us to bring them up. who is he to drag my property with his God? her mother is her God. I build my house in my inherited land but i still give my mother 100% right to do whatever she wish in my compound even if she want to plug fruits from trees or farm in my others inherited land from my father, I give her the right to use it as she wish because it still she and husband property. Even my senior brother whom live in my father compound with my mum's and sisters can't do anything of her own in my father house without my mother approve, because the entire property we shared still belongs to her until she's no more before each of her 4 boys and 2 girls can now claim that he/she own this or that particular property as inherited from our parents. Even me in my compound still inform her of anything am going to do in my own compound or with inherited land because it's belong to her. we don't have right to sell any property until she's no more or she approved for you to sell even though its now your inheritance. we share it when she still alive to avert trouble of sharing it when she's no more as our father has pass away, I am from East, Nri Clan precisely. That your friend is not worthy to call a son, if not her mother how can he be a member of that family? what if the woman turn tomorrow to claim that she adopted him that he is not biological son of the man he claim to be? did he think that his late father kinsmen can allow him to stay in their brother house again, but the mother will be allow to stay because she have others children's. My advise is that he should build another house in the compound even if is 1 room and palour self contain and live there, that is house he and about to be wife can lay claim for now, but the land where he build the house still belong to the family which his mother still the head of the late father family, means the house can't be sell because the land belongs to entire family but the house belongs to your friend. But dragging where the late man build to shelter his entire family, with mother that was there and suffer together with the mother is not the better way, he should also know that this kind of a thing bring curses so he should be careful. Bible say' respect your parents so that your days may be long in the promise land that the lord had given you. How can you respect your parents without knowing that dragging her husband house with him is disrespectful to your mother and God. I believed she had good lady to marry because if is what i am thinking, i don't think the lady he's about to marry have good advise to him. if not she should know that any wrong advise to him against his mum may come back to her after 30years to 50 years because she will be a mother and have son that will be up to get marriage, don't say there is no Karma. The children's with respect to their parents can still obey and ask their mother the way to follow after her husband is late even when there is will made by the late father. she will not touch the will but her decision in the family still final. Good luck. |
