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. 1 Like |

Cantonese: 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. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The greed in igboland is out of this world. The custom has been existing based on greed and 'long throat' A man dies, the wife and mother of his children is subjected to all manner of ill treatment. Her hair is shaved, she is confined to a room for almost a year and treated as if she was the one that killed the man. Worst still, if she does not have a male child or if she did not bear children for him... You will begin to see hungry looking uncles talking about 'sharing' the deceased properties. Its a barbaric and repugnant custom and i am glad the Apex court has cone to the rescue. 15 Likes |

BabaRamota1980:Making a female an heir I'd not really right cos at the end it's her husband that the inheritance goes too again if she marries to an outside tribe it becomes even worse. The father should make adequate provision for the female child in his estate but the male child should be made the heir |

[s] PericomaNwankwo:[/s] Mr Nwankwo, I'm not going to insult the Igbo tribe because of a mentally deficient and vacuous minded soul like you. You think spelling the word Yoruba as yarriba means anything? I it can only mean something to people like you who are yet to develop a useable medulla oblongata. The only people I pity are the Igbo women who have to put up with chauvinist cretins like you who see the women as commodity to be bartered at weddings. The Igbo culture treats it's women abysmally. Non inheritance by females is despicable. The treatment of widows is appalling. Selling of your daughter to a man because you managed to send her to higher institution is a cavalier attitude. No wonder the average Igbo lady would rather marry a Yoruba man. I don't blame them though. You can dance zanku on my mentions all you like, I won't be responding to your juvenile rants after this. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

You know nothing about the North! Pls stop this! An average northern father treats his daughter(s) better than the boys and if he is rich, oh my! Their wives, muah! Even when they are poor, the girls are still better taken care of than the girls. If they are Muslims, shariah prescribes half of what the male child will inherit. She will still get from her husband. Which is more dignified? Have you ever seen a Hausa building? The women are kept on the inner part to protect them. They are chauffeured around town and treated with respect. You dare not pull her clothes in the market or disrespect her in whatever manner. If not, those who do not know her will be ones to deal with you. The judgement is cool sha. Cantonese: 3 Likes |

I'm not from East, but in my own town, female children have no inheritance of their father. Except isolated cases that involves polygamous family, where one side of the family have no male children, then the inheritance could be given to the side that have female children, provided they contribute to the burial of their father. |

ZZ22:Brothers of the deceased chase both the widow and her daughters away from the property of their father. If the widow is young she herself becomes property to be inherited by one of the deceased's brother. Its not about a man's will in iboland. Fvk that. The culture is the will. The culture says both wife and daughter shall not partake in the inheritance. CNN has done a coverage on this before. This is not a secret. No need to twist it. 5 Likes |

Despite being a man from the south east,I still support this because it is a welcome development. I love it and I will always support it..... How will a man struggle to make money and at the end another man that knows nothing about his suffering will now want to claim everything just because the man have no male child.... Anybody against this is evil. 8 Likes |
