Let's see how it goes

Righteousness89:
Irrespective of Gender, we all are Creatures of God..

If you are Privileged to Have a Property to Share, Everyone Should get Something..

All these things we Fight for Ends Here.. Nobody Carries Inheritance to Eternity..

UdechiHD:
You are right OP! The Supreme court is misinformed with happenings in Igbo culture. Enforcing such law in Igbo land is a waste of time. This us because the Igbo customary binds families together, it makes the men hustle harder to cater for their family and it frowns hard on broken homes.

Whiteangel1234:


Its won't go down well if the law is fully implemented in the next 10 years all the young men will be hunting for Girls from Billionaire Family Only to marry . the poor people will be left with their daughters.

Marriage will become an investment for men it will also create a society for us where our young men become Lazy and no more aggressively hardworking this laws are alien to us

Mynd44:

The supremem court gives not regards to tour culture. The Supreme Court made this decision based on the fact that it is discriminatory and ranks the girl child as less.

So when she marries, she is cast out right? Mba

Hmm

Op I don't see anything bad there. It's not every family that has properties, not to talk of the ones that girls will inherit. They might just give her maybe furniture or a flat if the father has any. Some might even inherit orange tree

These days, men chase women that have money, so it's not a new thing .Women also chase men with money, so they will continue chasing each other.

UdechiHD:
Supreme court you call it. Is the supreme court greater than Sharia courts in the north? Customary courts are there to protect certain values. Instead of the Supreme court to intervene in such jurisdictions, it should rather empower the Customary courts to rule in such case. As a matter of fact, the National Assembly should pass laws that will upgrade the Customary court the same way the Sharia courts operate. Let the Customary court be backed to sit on cases without the involvement of the Supreme court. Gender equality and inhertance should be brought before it.

Mynd44:

Sharia isn't discriminatory. The law applies to both male and female and regardless of tribe.

Immediately there is a different set of rules for different genders, that law becomes problematic

The igbo tradition don’t see it like you view it...

Is Yoruba lying down to greet not act or slavery and human worship?

But to the Yoruba people is act of great respect and gratitude

One mans meat is another human poison..

Only slaves lie down to greet... is act of total submission to a thing.. now if you’re not Yoruba and in Yoruba ... Yoruba will expect you o lie flat and greet .. failure to postrate, they will refer you as... bastard.. omoali..

Bannylove13:


That rule was/ is never a problem in igboland.. go through that case and observe the judgement of high court , appeal court , before she got to Supreme Court ..
what was the judgement of the Supreme Court ?

Supreme Court ought to have rule strictly on her case not generalize, and deliberately abusing traditions

What about Oni of Ife and his abobouka.. that should be abolished by Supreme Court or how do you explain buring someone alive .. because his an aid to a king?

Mynd44:

Wait, there are people who believe that the Abobaku tradition is
still being observed? In 2020?

Bannylove13:


Yes!
The last abobaku was buried live with th oni
