Igbo culture my asss.
When a law has been passed to eradicate that disgusting tradition that denies women right to inheritance, this one is bringing his own sick twisted understanding to it.
Thunder will fire him and whoever is supporting him to fight his sister over her land.

I guess Nigeria is better with primitive minds and slavish minds like you.

Receive some senses



U.K. did not outlaw Gay marriage and the are doing good

Nigeria outlawed it and we didn't see any changes

In today's globalised view, yes, this seems extreme in terms of women's liberties, but if you try to understand the tradition first before commenting obvious things you feel you have to comment you will start to understand the reason such a tradition exists. Igbo culture is patrilineal and the villages marry women outside, this means that most Igbo villages are primarily based on decent from one man although some people join sometimes. This means that married women in the community are always from outside the community and naturalized in the place. Daughters and their properties and co are under the protection and guardianship of the father, they are like this until marriage. Since daughters only marry out and their possessions and co will be inherited by their children who are part of the mans family, the tradition in the past made sure that family lands do not fall into the hands of foreign communities. Also the woman's husband is naturally supposed to provide her with things such as land for farming and housing in the past.

Today there has not been a reform made probably because it benefits men, but there obviously should be a reform seeing as we do not live in a time where women are completely or mostly uprooted from their birth families and we aren't in the time of communal warfare.

martineverest:
just imagine.....family members fighting dirty over property they will still leave behind after death.

Why would brothers and sisters be fighting over property they never worked for?

unstableaswater:
U can only reform things that are not working or broken. People that visit the east say it is sparsely built, that is becos daughters marry off without land.
If u give them land, they will build on it and return to occupy it with their children. The entire east will become compact like yoruba land. I dont see anything wrong with igbo customary law on inheritance. This story we read here is either fabricated or distorted.
Women buy land in the village and east and nobody confiscate them. They have not told us the whole story or wat is actually going on here.
Even if we must give them free land in the East as reform, then it should be in the township and Cities in the East, not ancestral land, we use that to keep records of patrilineal lineage.

ezeagu:
Yes, obviously when it comes to ancestral land the ancestral tradition holds supreme, but my understanding was that the brother here was going with anything that the lady bought while in her fathers home, so even if a plot of land was bought in Enugu township, I think for today that is extreme considering the liberalisation that's already taken place.

hammerF:
Dont let Afonja deceive u, no such law exist.

More importantly, wat law protects u and ur daughter wen Afonja and Aboki kidnap one, rape and force into marriage/Islam?

That is y we dont value u girls in igboland, ur simply a lower intelligent.

I will specially write a will telling my daughter that i love her with the things eternal but love my sons with everything material.

I have given her the share that belongs to her, love and protection, wat was left, i gave to her on her wedding day.

She got the best of everything and i will always love her. Hence she is not included in my property distribution.

U call us animal but want to inherit animal property. Is it not animal property u people are after?

The animal dont want u to have any of his property, on that matter, his sons are favored.

Definitely not Igbo culture. That her land is for her last born son to inherit.

unstableaswater:
U better start preparing for a boy, if ur interested in inheritance matter. Let me share with u a secret, 95% of igbo men today between 25 - 35 years get disappointed wen their wife give birth to baby girl as a first child. I know this becos, i am one of dem. The minute u give birth and it is a girl, i am still single and searching. Dont think, it is dated becos it is very much in vogue, the we are modern stuff is all in ur head. Igbo culture is the apex of all Africa culture and Superior. U cannot get more modern than igbo culture, we are leading the rest.

Pidgin2:
So what's the secret, why are there so many Igbo players there na? Nice one to my Eastern neighbors

Meanwhile, Oshoala we are expecting goals from you

Pidgin2:
And this makes you happy? I hope you realize that most Igbo ladies now marry outsiders, only those unfortunate mumus cling to Igbo men, I pray God blesses me with a Yoruba husband Sha, one Nigeria!

unstableaswater:
The bold is criminal, no brother will do such a thing. It is very bad and not igbo customary tradition. No igbo customary court will enforce that. Is he her father? The point that they are trying to make here is that, if she bought ancestral land, then she has erred. The article does not specify the location of the land, i am guessing that the author is being mischievous.

Mindfulness:
Look at this greedy i.diot. She bought the land and you think it belongs to you? You are a crook.
And then they say that 'despite civilization' some rules still apply. Are you telling us that these rules are barbaric?

Morons!

Omoluabi16:
Look no further.

ezeagu:
Yeah, I guess that's where the meat of the matter is, the story doesn't look real to me though, but I thought it would be good to explain anyway.

Pidgin2:
Why her last born son and not daughter?

hammerF:
Na like this, e dey take start. #Team Handsome#... Afonja stop the jealousy.

Top of the day to you ma'am. I'm curious enough to ask when you started using expletives? You always read so refine so I'm wondering what happened?

ezeagu:
That "civilisation" thing is just the way ignorant Nigerians talk when they mean modernity.

Mindfulness:
My new year's resolution was to no longer tolerate dvmbness.
It's like a virus. It must be extinguished.

joseph1832ng:
Aye! Now you see reason why it's necessary to quell dumbness with every once of strength in your body.

It's annoying as well as contagious. Hope you now see reasons why it's welcome to troll and diss dumb people, especially here, where it celebrated.
