MrColdsweat:
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.

moorevic:
Lets all be honest, even before the ruling, we igbo's give our ladies inheritance. Many igbo parents grant inheritance to their daughters.

toprealman:

What's the practice in your tribe?

Cantonese:
The Igbos are always very honest and forthright. This practice is not limited to the Igbos only. It is an African culture.

Generally women are not expected to take their family'wealth to their husband's home. The general belief is that the wealth of the lady's family would be diminished while her husband's family would be made richer.

Anyone from other parts of Nigeria who makes irresponsible comments against the Igbos about this age long African culture simple deceives himself or herself.

Women are generally treated as second class citizens in Africa and this attitude.must stop. Some fathers try to circumvent this be sharing their wealth among their children while they are alive.

Our courts are filled with such cases without respect to tribe and religion. Among the northerners, do the women even have rights at all? A man marries more than four wives and treats.the whole women including his daughters as nobody. Where are the rights of the southwest women in this matter. Even the educated carry without caring about women in their homes.

The supreme court made the right judgement. Let's celebrate this sound judgement and liberation of our women.

Maginalising women for over a century in the name of culture, any culture that doesn't have human face all over Nigeria must be abolished. Another one is that of Edo that gives everything to the first son, imagine that.

PericomaNwankwo:



Women are highly revered in all cultures. Stop being a child, it's not like yarriba women have done anything to make them stand out. Igbos are the pace setters and your refusal to admit it to yourself is why you people keep bringing up unnecessary fights.

Rutherford2019:
My mother and auntie are victims of the law. .
Their father died when they were 5 and 7 and he had no son, uncle or brother so people around the neighbourhood took over their property and drove them out with their mother then..
My grandmother(their mother ) died in 2007 and was buried in my aunt's house..
When my mother and auntie early in 2017 went to reclaim their father's land on the ground that their father has no brother or son and those inheriting the property is not their relatives, the people using the property chased them away in fact they hired community members and they warned them not to step their feet in that place again claiming that they have married and have no right to inherit the said property..
I the law is injurious to good conscience and repugnant to natural justice

Chii59:
Good one!!
And for those shouting "culture and tradition" any culture or tradition that relegates another human being as second class based on gender or status is BACKWARD, BARBARIC and UTTERLY REPREHENSIBLE.

SegFault:

Man just tire for Africans and their misogynist customs they don't want to dispose of, though times are changing now, I've gone to many homes and the boys and girls are forced to do the same jobs, boys do more work than girls self because I can't imagine a girl pounding yam or doing all those hard menial jobs.

GoldHorse:


You are very wrong! This is not an African thing. Yoruba woman have same right as their male counterpart. Yoruba women are equally entitled to all and any inheritance. Everything is shared equally unless someone decide to play smart which is entirely another argument. You either share accordingly to number of wives or number of children but not by gender.

SegFault:

The Kikuyu people of east Africa is who you're talking about.

BabaRamota1980:
They want to rule Nigeria but in 2020 still treating women as second class citizens, denying women from inheritance. Very backward people. No Ibo will rule this country in 2023.

Do away with MENTAL SLAVERY. THIS IS 21ST CENTURY

pocohantas:
I stayed in the SW for years, people gave birth and everyone was happy. The second I entered bus and landed in the SE...

That was the first time I heard the question “What did she born?” I didn’t even understand why anyone would ask such at the birth of a child with so much seriousness. With time I got to understand chauvinism is deeply rooted in most Igbo men. Some are just more subtle... A few are enlightened. The rest... pftttt

Isn't this an old news? Lalasticlala

and how does the court get to rule on "tradition"? It is an academic exercise.

ZZ22:
Its on the father to will his properties to his children. A wealthy father that has enough would will to both sons and daughters but that of the sons would be of more economic value to that of the daughters. An average man will first consider his sons before the daughters that would get married to a man that has benefited from his father's property. This is how the cycle goes and whatever the supreme court does cannot override the decision of the father in willing his properties as he learnt from his father.
