...this is madness...it's does not happen
Now do you know the tale people say about Nigerian all because they want a stay in foreign land ...it's same pattern the use all because they're expecting sympathy which can make you part with your money...

There's no law in Akwa ibom that expect a female child to contribute more to thier father burials than the male child..

All my sister share equally in the inheritance my p-man left behind....

You speak for your family. The lady was not looking for pity, she was completely distressed at how she and her sisters were cheated by their brothers. If you don't mind, go find out if it's a lie. As for the court, this is already a decided case so you can go to the court to dig further.

As you can read from the outburst by the Judge, the Judge is not joking around or looking for asylum. He has given you all the task to stop this cultural practice. Families like yours should enlighten them. Akwa ibomites like you should take up the task.

Backwardness!

yeah,I know.that is y the Yoruba's are at the top.and the the Igbo's are no where.if u see any area or family developing,it is the women there that are doing a great job.u can treat ur women like a social leper and expect great things to happen to u.

Nonsense, if someone is not Yoruba automatically that person is Igbo?


I don't know if Nigeria only have 3 tribes that can access the internet

Zico5:
How can u deny ur blood sister good things of life that both of u are entitled to cos she is a female. This is so common in south east and south south. I think the state governments need to look into this issue. Many have died due to issue like this. It's very bad and crude at the same time. Now uncles are also claiming the same things. Wonders shall never end.

Edo state, akwa ibom, rivers state, all eastern states, some parts of delta state.

Very very good
Please write a will and give your lawyers
It will help your family avoid this nonsense

Some years ago, I was shocked when one very lovely lady from Akwa Ibom lamented how their culture compels the female children to contribute more for their father's burial yet forbidden from inheritance. She was close to tears that day because she was away from work here in Lagos for 2 weeks, travelled to her village in Akwa Ibom and had to empty her savings for her father's burial. Till date, I still remember her pain on such unfair practice in her culture. She was very close to cursing her brothers and her culture that day.

All these kind of injustice need to stop. These female children do not deserve to be cheated like this and I am happy that a court has come to their rescue. Iniebe Effiong forming human rights lawyer in Lagos is from this state o but I have never read of where he championed campaign against such injustice. The current Senate President is from there too yet no law is against such obnoxious cultural practices.

This Judge is taking the lead to redress this injustice but the state assembly needs to still make law to punish people like this uncle who was about to take the property away from his nieces because they are females.

In the absence of real laws and strong political will to stop this kind of unfair cultural prejudices against the female child, my advice to yet-to-be married ladies not from places like Akwa Ibom is that you should shine your eyes before love carries you to Akwa Ibom and you receive the shock of your life that your female children are considered inferior and culturally forbidden from inheriting what you and your husband slaved for to pass on as inheritance.

Love is sweet but in marriage,love is not all that marriage entails o. Understand the culture of the place where who you want to tie up your lifetime with hails from o. Abo oro la nso fun Omoluabi........

I don't understand:

Culturally, female children contribute more for their father's/ parents' burial however they don't have the right to inherit?

What kind of demonic culture is that?

Fairly true justice

Serve him right. Imagine they are your daughters and your survive brother maltreat them like you did, would your spirit be happy?

Hmm

KingDash09:
Normally...

My aiunt had three sons and her husband's property were taken away by the brother.

In terms of inheritance, Yoruba culture is the best in the country by miles.

Nawa oh

The court said: “The maltreatment is opprobrium, offensive and unconstitutional.”
The court held that it was high time paramount rulers, clan heads, village heads and community leaders in Akwa Ibom State came to terms with the facts that female children have equal stake with their male counterparts to inherit their parents property

It serves him right. He even had the effontery to take his nieces to court so the court can restrain his nieces and allow him exercise his right over the property that should naturally be inherited by his nieces. Their 'offence'; they are females Smh.

If this kind of injustice is not stopped anywhere such obnoxious practices is still being done in Akwa Ibom and other states then brothers may start killing their wealthy brothers and their sons who should inherit the wealth so they can inherit the property that belongs to the wealthy siblings' children niyen o.

I have seen one in my family. Still in Akwaibom. My uncle had to use his male children to pursue all his blood sisters out of the compound with threats of killing and charms. Even his mother who is still alive still being chased away from entering farmlands owned by his late father. It's very common there. Mostly the illiterate uncles are worse than a plague. Very wicked and fetish

Really!! powerhouse3 should read this too.

Akwaibom ibom is a nice place but most people there are somehow primitive and barbaric traditions and culture made by a fellow man. Tradition such as female inheritance, Ekpo Nka Owo should be abolished. Cuz it cuz a lot of people pains. And some people take advantage of it to do their fellow brothers evil. Dangote and Femi Otela have mostly female children and they're all entitled to their fathers sweat cuz Yoruba and Hausa don't joke with their female children! I learned that on this platform but you see south south especially akwaibom and South East, these people can kill their blood sisters because of a 6 feet farmlands. Let the barbaric culture stop. Let everybody hustle for their money.

Bluntguy:
Akwa Ibom and wickedness to women and young girls be like 5&6

Really?
Does that mean such thing has never occurred in your place or other part of the world before?
Is Akwa Ibom the first?
That's fallacy of heasty generalization

That because u keep meeting with the wrong people

lolu2019:
nor be lie.their men are very wicked.same with Igbo men.that is why a lot of their girls are into prostitution.

You're right. Very very wicked bro. They have to change. The cheating must stop! Thes female children are human beings too. Iniebehe Effiong should really take such cases seriously if he wants other states to take him seriously whenever it has to do with human rights abuses. Especially in Akwaibom. Most male uncles in Akwaibom are just lazy around knowing fully well he's late father's property are there. WTF man this is 2023!

But the court should have first transfer all the wealth he possess to the nieces and still jail him for 14years let see how his own immediate family will feel.
For me there will not be justice and deterrence if this kind of individual are not made to feel the exact injustice they exert upon another person.

I hate when people maltreat their female relatives'' i will never take advantage of my close female relatives'' when ever i look back and see them coming around me it makes me so proud with the respect they are given to me'' that is how my uncle wanted to kill my mother all because he is a first child.
You can't maltreat people anyhow because of a said tradition that was formed by a fellow man.
To all the women passing through unnecessary pains because say u are a woman'' no worry u will be fine

A very greedy and selfish man . The court should make sure that he pays to the last Kobo.

Macphenson:
Honestly female children should have equal stakes with male children in a family.

This one is not even about equal right. Na oversabi based on say d idiot wan chance the ladies. The ladies are their fathers children. One clown came to try to deprive them of their inheritance thinking that gender rubbish will work

alobright17:


He's the one that sent the matter to court and still lose wotowoto. So female born are not children again or what? This uncle too dey watch nollywood movie alot that's why he believe he can deny them their own late fathers property.

It isn't about male or female. It's just d case of a greedy wicked uncle who felt he was entitled to his late brothers property. Even if the late brother had male descendants, I can bet my rats ass that d stupid man would have found a way to try to deprive them of their inheritance.

A man who was supposed to protect the greatest thing his brother left behind now became their tormentor. If you look closely, am sure the uncle is a very poor wretched man

Bluntguy:
Akwa Ibom and wickedness to women and young girls be like 5&6

Refrain from generalizing

Macphenson:
Thats archaic thinking. Times have changed

If you were to have only one child, which sex would you like the baby to be?

Lazy uncle

ok

worksmart:
Let us put sentiments aside, In these parts of the country females when married move to their husbands family hence why the do not inherit their father's property. If a man has no sons, his brother would inherit his property.

I think this case is a delicate one that should be handled with maturity by all parties.

The young ladies should respect that in traditional law that the uncle owns the property and not be seen to be dragging ownership with him.

The uncle on his own part recognise that his nieces have right to live free in the property and give them all the grace he can manage until such time as they marry and move to their husbands home or die. Basically uncle must ensure the neices have all the freedom to continue to enjoy their father's property as they were when the father was alive.

The court order is of no consequence because if uncle does not have N20m he does not have it. Federal is largely ignored in villages where traditional law exists.

You're still living in the 6ties.
Don't joke with the law.
Don't play with fire.

The judge should make it clear that anything that happens to those children physically and spiritually, he'd be held responsible. This would keep him away from harming them.
