All children have equal rights is in YOUR TRIBE NOT IN ALA IGBO

First born will always have the OBI
WOMEN HAS NO INHERITANCE they should go to their husbands house

Even courts in Igbo land won't rule otherwise

ExudeLoveToAll:



You are just exhibiting your ignorance on public space..

I will help you.to cite the landmark supreme Court ruling that voided that tradition in IGBO land and else where all over the country.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/08/supreme-courts-decision-on-female-inheritance-divides-igbo/amp/

All children have equal rights to the properties of their parents wether make or female. The first child has same right as the other children.

You are still leaving in denial, supreme Court has ruled and so it shall it be. Nothing you do can avert that precedence.

07kjb:


I am telling you what is on ground not what is on paper

A woman has no right of inheritance in Igbo land...go and make an investigative enquiry

ExudeLoveToAll:


It is only a woman who doesn't know her left from her right that would allow her male siblings cheat her out.

If she takes the matter to court she must win

I can see you are a woman activist

Go and get any case of such in Igbo land I assure you that you are gonna lose it in court

lereinter:


How old his the nephew

Is he married?

It's better you people settle it using 3rd party arbitration.

Call a family meeting because you are the head of the house, the property doesn't belong to his father

Sell the house, let him have his father's share appropriately.

JONNYSPUTE:
...... I have been following your arguments and I must say that you are right but where you are getting it wrong is on the issue of the Obi.

No two people inherits an Obi in Igbo land. But that the first son has it does not give him any right to eject others from it until they are able to acquire theirs

The supreme court is also right in a way. Why I used in a way here is because they have helped in solving the problems whereby a wealthy man passed on without a male child and his brothers comes to take over his properties siting the issue that he has no male child.

Another one is a situation whereby a wealthy man dies and his sons greedily wants to deny the daughters of their shares in their father's estate or properties. Note here that estates does not include the late man's ancental home.( That is a no go area for the female) except on circumstances that the late man was an only child and failed to have a surviving son which automatically makes the only daughter to inherit it but on the condition that she will remain unmarried but have to bear children to sustain her father's legacy. Note also that if at anytime she decides to get married after producing an heir,that her son takes over the Obi while she looses because she cannot be answering another man's name and be claiming ownership of her father's ancentral home.

Even before the supreme court judgment,lots of men has been giving out properties in the city to their female children if he has enough to go around. But if he doesn't,the children can sell and share the proceed as they deem ok.

As long as it is the man's ancentral home( OBI ),mbanu.not possible except for the condition I mentioned earlier.

Now bringing it back to our discussion here. Even the courts cannot tell op that he is the owner of the said house. They will only tell him that yes he has a right to live there because his father owns it which his nephew is not even denying him.

But the truth of the matter is that as an Igbo man that he is,if he does not leave to stay on his own Obi,when ever he dies,he can't be buried there. They will take him to his rightful abode and bury him there even if it's a forest.

ExudeLoveToAll:


Expository, nice for sharing your thoughts.

That is the basis of my assertion, he has rights to the house just as his elder brother has rights to it( his part inherited by the nephew) and not as some assert that he has no right to the property(Supreme court has quashed that). That was why I brought up that precedence.

Have a great day

JONNYSPUTE:
.....Have seen anybody selling ancentral home before?

lereinter:


When express pass there you will know that nothing like ancestral

JONNYSPUTE:
..... You are saying a different thing. If due to development it happens that a road should pass there,the government in collaboration with the owner will do all the necessary tradition and appeasement before relocating them.

My question still remains. Have you ever seen where such is sold and the money shared among the children? I know Igbos don't do such.

gaby:


He feels entitled and sees you as taking over the part that belonged to his father and by extension his inheritance.

Just be wise and smart about it because such an entitled boy can do and undo to have his way.

He's got people behind, beating the drums and clapping for the dance he has embarked upon.

07kjb:


Nope that one is voluntary I can give my daughter a portion of any of my property
But she doesn't have cultural and traditional right in the sharing of inheritance

See this things are deep even when I want to give my daughter any of my property I must consult my son's for them to be in agreement with me hence if I die tomorrow my son's will reclaim the said property on the ground that they were not informed

Nairalanders how do you tackle this kind of problem especially when it has to do with family and property
My nephew is dragging right with me over our family house his father was my elder brother and the first born in our family we where five in number 2 boys and 3 girls although my female siblings are married .
My parents left us with a family house as the where now late so my brother lives in the landlord palour which was a self con apartment when he was alive although his relationship with his wife didn't work out as the woman wasn't married by my brother but she had kids for him now after my brother death I moved to the apartment as and started living there although I did a little renovation on it and others .
Until I have to travel all in the hustle although I was still in Nigeria but I moved to the northern part of Nigeria only to receive calls from my neighbors that my nephew has break into my apartment and do some retouching in my own house
Note there was never a time I ask them to live the compound or anything infact this is a family house as everyone has a room why must it be that my own.
I need advice as am very very pissed off
I brought this here for wiser contribution

The thing is that this boy am talking about went to HK only to pick money from it as I heard only to come to break into my own apartment if he thinks he needs a room there are many there it's is literally insulting

Anal55:

Yeah that's the truth the fact is that I called this boy to ask him if he didn't see other room to renovate he said he doesn't own me any explanation
The bitter truth is that my parents literally spent everything they had trying to send him to school before I could grow up the are already aged because I was the last born I couldn't reach University although we didn't have any bad blood but it is very insulting to me

Harddiskng:
The house belongs to the entire family (siblings). Sell if off and give everyone their share, the boy inclusive (your late elder brother’s share).

Landed properties usually turn siblings to enemies, it’s always best to create a will stating what belongs to who.

Zihno:


I believe this is the accepted tradition in all Nigerian culture. As a Bini man, what the Igbos call “Obi” the residence of the man of the house will always go to the first son irrespective of the location ( City/Village). If the father has other properties, it will be shared amongst all the children (or their families if any is late) including women. This is our tradition. Inheriting the family house doesn’t give the son the right to send any of this siblings or step mom away from the house. They should only leave of their own choosing.

Saintmary:



Your father is late, your elder brother is late, get a lawyer, sell the house and share the money accordingly.


Shikenan

Zihno:


Like someone has said already, the house belongs to the first son. At the fathers death, his eldest surviving son should inherit his property and INHERITANCE. You are only a custodian although no one can make you leave if you don’t want to as it is still your father’s house. But this house doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to the son. He even has the right to sell it. This is according to my tradition and I’m a Bini man.

TheRealOwner:


You guys are Igbos right?

You have two options

Involve senior family members, sell the house and share the money into two and give the family of your senior brother their own half and the whole drama will end

Second option, share the property to the witness of the family and take one part and give them the other party

But the best is first option
