Ibime:
Family wealth lost through partners is called sideways disinheritance

For example your daughter dies and the man marries new wife. Your money will now be split between your grandchildren and his new wifes children. Or maybe your daughter is unfortunate enough to marry a schemer or polygamist

That's why some cultures practice the culture of passing on inheritance to grandchildren rather than children. By that stage, e done sure pass

BlueRayDick:
So because I don't want my wealth to pass down to my daughter's stepchildren if her husband decides to by polygamous ; I should disinherit my own grandchildren by not passing any part of my wealth to their mother? That's cutting off your nose to spite your face na.

It makes sense to pass it down to grandchildren if they are available at that point but what if they are not? Would you not pass it to your daughter because of fear of the unknown?

BlueRayDick:
Yes, a woman should have equal rights as man to inherit property whether ancestral or not. Anything other than that is gender-based discrimination.

GloriousGbola:
SUB for dayo

Theflint1:
You might not disinherit them, but you'd put guardrails in place to ensure that the family wealth is preserved, like there's an entire aspect of family estate management that deals with things like this.

E get where money go don reach before you begin think like this sha, also families that practice inheritance in this fashion tend to run a family business.

My immediate family is my daughter, not some members of my extended family like uncles, cousins, etc

Spy360:
Ok.

Can a man inherit his wife's land when she dies even if it's at his in-laws

BlueRayDick:
I think we worry about the wrong things in Africa.

Why should I be bothered if my wealth goes to the family my daughter marries from? What should be my major concern? Shouldn't it be about my daughter's happiness?

If My daughter would be happy enjoying her inheritance with her hubby and my grandchildren, why should that bother me so much?

So will I say because my daughter will transfer my wealth to her hubby, I should leave my wealth some damned extended family members instead of my daughter? It won't happen bro. I don't think Dangote will be worried his son-in-laws have access to his wealth through their wives.

iamoyindamola:
But you are bearing your family surname

Ellexy:
As noble as this sounds, it can become short sighted when not balanced with wisdom if you want to protect your wealth and legacy.

A man can ensure his daughter's happiness and protection and at the same time make sure his wealth and legacy stays within.

And like Ibime pointed out, If your wealth is unconditionally tied to another family through marriage, and things go south (divorce, manipulation, death), that your daughter ends up vulnerable and unhappy and your goal of happiness for her fails.

Protecting your assets is not done sentimentally, it doesn’t also mean you're distrusting her or depriving her of her rights, it means building safety nets for her because people change and relationships evolve. This applies to male children too.

iamoyindamola:
This law actually protect female, there are some ruthless husband that marry the woman because of her family wealth, some go as far as killing her for it.

BlueRayDick:
I have already responded to Ibime's post up there.

What's the percentage of Yahoo boys that are not +guys and that are hackers?

Loading, spamming and Phishing don't require you to be of high IQ before you can learn it within a short period. Maybe you and Obi don't really know the meaning of the word - Genius.

Maybe a graduate with 2nd class lower is a genius, since Obi graduated with that too.

See what your Tinubu said.



Its not just about learning it,its about coming up with their ideas,"thier creativity",how's this hard to understand. These guys will outsmart you and still siphon you before you can say alas.

For the fact that you believe a 2nd class lower(especially in Naija schooling system) can't be a genius, automatically means you your mentality is poor,no offense. Academic grades do not fully define intelligence or future success.

But make i believe say na for agenda sha.

iamoyindamola:

Ellexy:
Yeah later saw that. Additionally, relatives of the man shouldn't inherit the properties the man or lay claims to it when he has wife and children. I no dey in support of that one at all. A very wicked operation.

iamoyindamola:
They are not smart it's the victims that's dull
Majority of them are school drop out that can't comprehend what they are doing in school.
If you are doing the same thing everyday tell me why your brain won't get use to it, obi talks too much he talk off points sometimes
Moreover hacking is different from scamming

BlueRayDick:
This just sounds like making excuse to disinherit one's daughter. Ibime and Theflint mentioned putting measures in place to pass the inheritance down to grandchildren through their mum and I agree with it.

However, saying because she may marry a schemer or would-be criminal one should then share the property with some distant relatives is shortsightedness.

If I tell you the kind of things I don see in the course of my work involving extremely wicked family members who would take whatever is due to their brother's widow and kids and leave them in the cold.....you will understand where I am coming from. Imagine a woman losing her husband and the next day the late husband's uncle comes to carry his Motorcycle even before the body gets cold. Na that same person dey disturb his employers for his benefits while sidelining the wife.

Your wuruwuru dagbo move must show, just like your Obi's.

Obi said Yahoo boys are genius, whiich means majority of them are genius. That's a fat lie. What's genius in copying and pasting formats to 'bomb' unsuspecting foreigners, with the aid of 'Otomokpo'? You don't need high IQ to do things that every muniru and Ambali with access to phone and internet can do with few days of training.

When you finish with 2nd class lower in the University, only an idiot will call you a genius of the course. If you call a 2nd class lower graduate, genius, what will you now call a first class graduate? Obi can only impress his docile followers who can't think deeply.

Olowunl01:
We need to differentiate between ancestral land and parents owned ( not passed down property)

Just like we dont pass down kingship in our culture I dont think ancestral lands should be passed down to married woman, however she 100% inherit her parents personal wealth.

BlueRayDick:
Let's say as a Lagosian your grandfather owns a building at Mushin and another building at Ebutte Meta, does that qualify as ancestral home?

If yes, are we saying a female child cannot inherit such inheritance passed down to her father and now down to her? Are we saying only the male children can have a piece in those two buildings and be entitled to collect rent on them or get compensated when the building is leased out to a developer for 50 years and the developer pays millions?

Is that what we are saying?

Spy360:
So your issue is the definition of genius?

Ronu Airmark,Genius no mean only "high intelligence",creativity dey.

Your Tinubu wan make fraudster experts in Manufacturing ,but na Obi genius dey pain you.

Spy360:
As an Igbo, customarily, no one owns the ancestral land. It belongs to the Umunna or kindred/extended family. In adulthood you're given a sizeable portion to build your home or whatever you like. But you don't own the land. In death, the property goes to the eldest son who manages it in trust for the entire family. If he has no sons, his wife and any daughters continue to live in the property. At the end, it will still go to the eldest in the family. In that way, women don't inherit and the property is preserved within the family. Especially the land.

Even when they sell, all the male heirs share the money. Women also get some share but it's not an entitlement.
