and so fucking what if she share her husband's wealth. what if her husband dies or don't have any property to inherit. she will get kicked out by her own family because she came from the tribe who gave Adam apple.

But a male child can inherit and will to another woman not from the family. isn't that foolishnes?.


the tradition is barbaric, egocentric and at the same time stupid of the Igbos for all I care.

even if she inherit her father's property, she can will it out all she wants.

MrColdsweat:


You don't know your culture.

Yorubas bury their obas with 7 heads.

AmazonTopaz:

It can still be challenged.
Especially when there is no will his daughters must be included in the inheritance

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.

@bold,I am igbo and you are so right I cannot marry an Igbo man.I agree with all you have said.

Odidigboigbo:
This was put to discourage the females from running away from their matrimonial home because of her father's inheritance. This is the main reason while Yoruba's have broken homes

You prolly didn't take your time to think through your comment before typing - read again but this time slowly and you will see that you ain't making any sense.

ZZ22:
See let me tell you no Igbo woman that comes from average family picks interest in his fathers property over the sons even if she is the first daughter. No woman from average family where properties are limited does that.. Even the sons nobody is raised here in average family expecting to inherit rather than working hard to have his or her own.

omooba969:
Igbo women are gorgeous walahi ...but one would expect their men to show due consideration in this modern age.

Verily, their men need to stop wearing that red cap & head warmer coz it's proven by WHO that those head coverings prevent good reasoning/judgement especially in our tropical region.

Sholaco:
so terrible! This are the same tribe crying for been marginalized. Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to u

MrColdsweat:


Read properly next time. I didn't say the tradition is good or not. I only explained why they did it.

pocohantas:


Those ones are a combination of all types of lethal poisons. I avoid them and they avoid me too...



An Igbo woman and a Yoruba man is most times a perfect combination. Yoruba men never grew to expect much, Igbo women are trained to give EVERY. The food you will cook for your Igbo bf and he will be dragging feet to eat, because he has been told it is his RIGHT. A Yoruba guy will swallow it all and ask when you will make your next village soup for him.

However, if you are a strong carrier of the oriaku syndrome, avoid Yoruba men. An Igbo man is still king when it comes to giving oriaku pills.

I know say Afonjas go come cry for this thread. While Ndigbo has the highest number of women representatives in NASS, no other ethnic tribe can boast of that. We are in every way better than Afonja when it comes to women empowerment. You can check the stats.

golddare:


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.

chatinent:
No matter what is decided, a typical Igbo man will not regard it.

Noneroone:
I bet that over 95% of Igbo's don't know about it talk more of coming to agree with it. Females inherit properties in Igboland although most fathers are much more reserved when it comes to lands. Only ancestral properties are barred by tradition to be inherited by women and that won't change tomorrow. For some places where women are totally forbidden from inheritance, it is a traditional issues not a legal one.

Do you know that eastern region parliament abolished OSU system about 60 yrs ago? But I bet the members themselves wouldn't agree to married osu if they met one afterwards. Which is why its is still practised where it is found today.It is a traditional issue and can't be settled by legal show-offs.

trutharena:
This is why this female always want to get married to the Yorubas so they can have right to properties.

Such a backward system. In 2020, they still regard women as nobody tueh!

ojuu4u:
Long overdue! I argued it with one guy in March, I told him if any female takes her family to the court that she will win, the guy blindly argued and rejected my opinion vehemently, saying nobody can try it in East. That, its their culture. I told him. Can ur culture and custom supersede Nigeria constitution?

SegFault:
And one idiot will come here spilling trash about Biafra. Is this the nonsense misogynist trash we will carry on with when we divide, if true then the so called Biafra will crumble like a car put together with chewing gum, if you take them on it they will start screaming. I come from an igbo home so I know how bad it is, the way they made my sister do everything then make it seem like I was entitled never actually occurred to me until later, though my father did not allow it my mother (a woman oh can you imagine) engineered it. Chai, let us stop behaving barbaric and change for shit's sakes, my grandson even told me that in our village women are not allowed to sell land tufia.

AmazonTopaz:

Na you know.
Supreme court don talk say women have a right and must inherit from their fathers properties so there is nothing you can say that will change that fact and if challenged in court the female must be given a share of the inheritance

stayclearofme:

Yes we know, very opressive and greedy set of people.

AmazonTopaz:

So what is so special about the tradition that it cannot be abolished legally.
The Law of Nigeria supercedes every tradition and the legal remedy can always be applicable.
Just say that the people are adamant to change it does not mean that it is an impossible task that cannot be done away with.
Nothing is set in stone.

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.

ZZ22:
that's if she's interested. No nobody is raised here in average family salivating over his/her fathers properties. Everyone strives to have their own. That's the Igbo mentality
