BabaRamota1980: Christianity has made many Igbo’s to be confused in life, they are not sure if to follow Igbo’s religion or Christianity. There are things that consider as Taboo in Igbo religion and custom, but I will mention few but not all that concerns daughters or Igbo’s family. 1) A lady that refuses to marry despite suitors continues asking her hand in marriage. 2) A lady that got unwanted pregnant or has a child without wedlock, unless he has the child with his father approve. 3) A lady that goes into an Oracle temple 4) A lady that climb palm tree or plug a kola nut. 5) A lady that carry or touches family ancestral staff, ancestral staff made to me touch by elderly men. 6) A married lady that that bleep outside her wedlock and even got pregnant. Now if a lady cannot have access to Igbo religion temple and cannot touch staff or perform any ritual as head of family, how can she lead the family as head? This is for Godian religion worshipers or Igbo traditional religion worshipers. Being a woman forbid her from doing many thing because she knew that he circle is a big issue to sacred things. So for a female child to lead a family may have a big tousle in Igboland, the Justice intentionally trying to put sword in Igboland. For the Christians too, there’s never a place bible recommended inheritance to women, so why is the Bishop being confuse. Woman have never being in highest position in any church since my 60 years on living, does it mean they are not qualify to be there? The problem with some Igbo’s is that they don’t know if they are Christian or traditional worshipers. This law can work in the house of mix faith but cannot work in house of Traditional worshiper because, traditional worshipers settle their daughter in the same evening after traditional marriage. The daughters of traditional families knew that a lot of good packages await them in the evening after their traditional marriage therefore they get married and received goodies from the entire family. But as for confuse Christian families, they are only interested to receive from son in-law and forget to settle their daughter. So this verdict is useless and can’t work for traditional families in Igboland. |

I love the Benin tradition. My dad have 3 houses, my eldest brother took one, myself and my younger sister shared 1 together, while the third was left unshared and pronounced as a family house, anyone can go there and relax anytime they feel like, but the eldest son dictate the order of service in the family house, he is directly responsible for the maintenance and repair it he has the money otherwise he should be assisted. A woman whose bride price wasn't paid can't inherit his father property in Benin, but unmarried woman can Inherit , so ones the father goes home, a quick and simple marriage is conducted to avoid the daughter been disinherited. Although the father can gift to her while still alive. A woman must have inheritance in their father's house, they are not half humans. |

hammer8:Then ensure they have properties and enjoy their father’s legacy. You can teach them to be responsible about their properties and ensure it is for your grand children and their own grandchildren male or female. Don’t raise your daughters thinking they are less than. They will carry that thinking everywhere in their life, including their matrimonial home and that is a disaster waiting to happen. We all don’t know when our time is up on earth and what may happen to our kids, when we are gone. But we can try to ensure that after all our struggle, they are ok. |

hammer8:Even though you cancelled my whole comment. I can see that I made you think and slowly start changing your tune. I hope you think and do better than your fathers for your daughters. Daughters are the ones who take care of their parents the most. As son’s go on to have wives who want to control all his resources. You will learn the value of your daughters when you are older and, your sons are waiting for you to die to inherit . And all you have is your property for cash flow. I have several male Igbo friends and as far as I know, they inherited everything. Even all the cash in their fathers account. 4 Likes |
