The same useless Supreme Court that made uzodinma ,an unpopular candidate a governor, is who I will listen to against my wise n knowledgeable fore fathers. Waste of time,even the so called women you favoured knows it’s a judgement in futility. Imagine handing over my fathers land in the village to my elder sister who got married to a man from Edo state.God forbid she dies , so the Supreme Court are telling me that an Edo man been her husband will now come to my village n take over my fathers land..... lol I laugh in Swahili 2 Likes |

To all the Nairaland men who spoke up against this devilish Igbo cultures that subjects their women to nothing regardless of tribe, I applaud you all. Today I'm proud to be a Nairalander. I've come to realize that we still have Nigerian men with a lot of conscience and civilization. Let me shock you guys more, that tradition is the least of traditions that put Igbo women in the position of dogs . In most igbo families, women have been conditioned mentally to believe that a woman has no say in the family regardless of the situation. I mean literarily in everything. You are meant to speak when spoken to and just obey the men in the house. For instance , in an extended family , your husbands cousins who are younger than you have the right to talk you down or shut you up and all you have to do is swallow it and keep shut all because you are a woman . Any day you decide to speak up , you become an evil woman and would be reprimanded by all and sundry including your fellow women because psychological they have being made to accept that life style as normal. The Igbos are really backward in thinking even those whom you thought went to school . In-between I'm an Igbo woman and equally married to an Igbo man in Mbaise . My people, even my husband couldn't believe all the nonsense , senseless and useless traditions he heard during his father's burial . Imagine your father's uncles, cousins and relatives telling you as a grown man that you can not decide on how to bury your father until they approve it . It was hell but I had to show them that not all women would be caged up. Igbo women are really suffering in their marriages to Igbo men. Problems of extended families and all these devilish traditions should really be looked into. These women would go through hell , only for their children to grow up and continue from where their uncles stopped in oppressing women. It's really sad. 5 Likes 1 Share |

hammer8:Yoruba don’t disinherit their daughters and make them destitute. They always have a place to stay as long as there is a family house. Plus it makes them empowered so that no man will maltreat or kill them. It is Yoruba men that created this culture to protect their daughters. What Igbo men choose for their daughters is their problem, but it’s rather unfortunate. As for you, never ever put your daughter at such a disadvantage in life and to the mercy of a stranger you call son-in law. You will not like what will happen to your daughter and grand children should she fall in wrong hands. You can also will her the property or buy property that will be hers that is not ancestral to protect her and train her to have a survivorship clause where it goes to her children and never the husband. I have properties from my father and all those properties will go to my girl children and males too. But the girls will have more. I am training them too to pass it on to their girls too, 2:1 female:male grandkids. 3 Likes |
