that's how 18years ago I lost my father. I was barely 11 and was the eldest. that's how they shared every property except his two houses. the one in the village cause he was buried There and the one in the city cause we live in it. Today: of the two brothers, one is dead and the only living one is down with stroke and his children can't even look after him. same abandoned kids (we) check on him. |

Take heart bro. I know how you feel. I also lost my mum. Those relative stuff is inevitable. ThankGod you are old enough to take decisions. All is need now is to be a man to your sis and mum because any act of childishness you exhibit from now will never be of benefit to them. Now a remedy to your relatives : You , sis and mum need each other like never before. Any decision you take must have the consent of both of them. In all, you guys must be united if not, your relatives will use one of you to manipulate and cause disunity among you guys. It just for a while though. Hard luck 6 Likes |

Take heart my sister. My heart bleeds for your mum because I know exactly how it feels. As for the lazy people, the best thing is to ignore them and move on. Stand by your mum because this is the most difficult time for her. Accept my empathy. The Lord is your strength. Cheer up!!! 3 Likes |

hmm, op, if u hear my own case u will forget ur own cos its like pry school cert to O'levels. My advise, forget what has happen but don't be ignorant, forgive them but put them at arms lenght. Now you advice ur sibblings to pursue hard, if life slaps ur right cheek, grab life and return with a headbutt... U and only u is responsible for ur success or failure. Finally, put ur matter into God's hand, those who trust Him are never put to shame, see u@d top 8 Likes |

YoungDaNaval: Its many years mine haven't seen me...i tell them to bozz off...they know i'm a fighter....so to avoid war, they stay away from me, me from them... with many years gone by, that's how the game rolls..everyone has peace of mind...the day family crosses my path, they will know God raised a champion... What the op didn't say or know is, by advising them to take the dad to an hospital, they deliberately took him to where he won't get the est treatment, so he would die they will accuse them, kick them out and take the properties, it's a game bro...i know the tenth step from the story the op described.....look out you will hear more from the op, its the property they are after....So staying away fast is the key...they killed the man they day they took over his health concerns 7 Likes |

OP, you just have to be strong! All these problems you are facing you will tell as stories. I have a similar experience. My family lived in Lagos and we had never traveled to the village. My father was the only male child and was pestered by his sisters to return to the East. Of course he rejected but decided we visit the village in one particular Christmas. We visited my village and unfortunately, my father died. His sisters accused us of killing him and refused our going back to Lagos. We now stay in the east. It was a bitter experience but we're strong now. 3 Likes |

Igbos are fond of doing that thing.. the wicked uncles & relatives. All they are after is the dead man's properties and not welfare of the widow and kids he left behind. Marry Igbo men at your own peril. 11 Likes |

soberdrunk: Wetin concern Igbo man family with will.. They will accuse his wife and share the properties for themselves alone. It's like part of their tradition and has been like that for decades. Civility is not just their way there.. They are ready to kill whoever gets in their way, the kids inclusive 3 Likes |

Sometimes, you may not know the true nature of your father's relatives until your dad is no more. That's when some of them will surface from nowhere just to claim their own portion of the properties he left behind which they never even knew how he acquired them Awon oloshi! 6 Likes |

YoungDaNaval: They are young.. They need their life intact first... The first thing is they need a base the family doesn't know and plan on further moves...it depends on family...I kissed the lands of my father to hell...Same as my brother and sisters...properties kor..it depends on the value eahc family places on them...I won't say further, but life is priceless and they are coming with a war..with what i read the Op posted, they don't have the strength for the battle, the withdrawal is to go gather strength for what will come later on...But if he has properties, it will be pretty difficult, best advice is for them to get a lawyer who would advise on steps to take...if they fight legally, they will need to get ready for spiritual battle, so is it a battle they can fight? 7 Likes 1 Share |

Does this still happen? These were things I saw in our movies, as a kid. They should explain how you killed him. They should carry out autopsy. If they claimed it involved the spiritual, you all should consult your family spiritual "adviser", if you have one. This is unfair. At this age. I guess they're never liked your mom or the reality that your late dad left them behind in the east to make a leaving for himself. This is ridiculous. But in things like these, I'll advise you give the what they want. When they're sharing the fruits they never labored for, their dissatisfaction would expose their shenanigans. |
