This doesn't call for debate because there's no unified Igbo tradition. The Supreme Court judgement is good as far as I'm concerned. Of course, news like this will suit Igbo daughters who've crass and opportunistic personalities and anyone from other parts of the country who inherently has a penchant for gloating Igbo people, see them reveling and casting aspersions on the generality of Igbo men, directly or indirectly. Hypocritically disingenuous elements. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Every child either male or female is relevant to the family and inheritance should be apportioned accordingly. I'm happy the court is ruling against discrimination 15 Likes 1 Share |

BabaRamota1980: The barbaric culture has been thrown into the dustbin, where it belonged to. These are the reasons the colonial masters forced Christianity on these people for they met them practising barbaric culture that is in conflict natural law & human conscience. A typical Igbo man keeps an idol at home, while he goes to church on Sundays, which is part of the tradition of appeasing the gods of the land, with seaman schnapps & red palm oil. 17 Likes |

You yarribastards have killed the thread with your Igbo hate. The reason why this is so, is because by getting married, a woman shares her husbands inheritance. If a woman is allowed to have inheritance, she will take inheritance from her father, and still share her husband's inheritance. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Good thing Ms Gladys took this matter to court. When it pains the most is when the daughter(s) have literally nothing in terms of a job or a business and you will see men like the king that was threatening chaos insisting on the lady getting nothing but they will be the first to flip out if she wears uncovers her hair in church or does not attend the town's women meeting. But why will she do so when she sees that her interests as a woman are not covered or what else is the essence of such meetings if not to protect your right as an indigene of the town and in turn ensure progressive growth of the town. These same men that oppose judgement in favour of Ms. Gladys will start quoting bible when a woman does wears does not cover hair in church or wears trousers. But they can never see the part in the bible where God changed the laws of inheritance for the five daughters of Zelophehad to inherit their father's property. The same goes for igbo men of God that know about this issue of females inheriting nothing but would rather ignore and encourage penniless ladies to continue praying for jobs, husband or wealth to fall on her husband when her portion of inheritance could go a long way in changing her status. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Igbo women have been in slavery since. Today they have found freedom. As expected many igbo men disagree with the judgment because they now have to share with their sisters. The greed is too much. Any igbo man who denies his sister her share of their father’s property will be dragged to court to vomit the yams. Backwardness is not attractive abeg. Next on the agenda is OSU caste system. That will take another 25 years but slowly they will have sense and abolish it themselves. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

tot:. Thank youuuuu!!!. You deserve a deep kiss for this!! Distributing wealth and properties can easily be stated in a man's will. No big deal!! But this our government is simply hypocritical sort of when we compare their actions between the north & south. Sharia court sentenced a 13yr-old boy, a minor to jail, another to death but they did nothing even when our constitution is supreme to theirs... Is it that currently, the North seems untouchable and nothing can be overturned?? 16 Likes 3 Shares |

So igbó has this kind of discrimination and abuse of rights, and they are quick to abuse Muslims when living according to Islamic doctrine. Most of them are Christians and Christianity doesn't preach against non inheritance of female child, please correct me if I'm wrong. In Islam, female child is to collect half of inheritance of Male child. She will inherit the other half at her husband's house. Then male child has no where to inherit aside from her parents. You can see that Islam doesn't undermine your right as a woman, you were strategically placed equally with men in many areas. You only need to learn your religion on every matter instead of allowing non Muslims to cast hatred into your heart. 22 Likes 4 Shares |
