favor914: ANCESTRAL PROPERTY DO NOT NEED WILL IN IGBO LAND. IF MY DAUGHTER HAVE SENSE, SHE WILL NOT EVEN GO THERE OR THE gods OF THE LAND WILL VISIT HER WITH THEIR FULL WRATH. PERSONAL PROPERTIES ALL GO TO MY WIFE, BECOS NA ONLY SHE BE THE WOMAN THAT CAN INHERIT ME AND THEIR AFTER DIVIDED AMONG MY CHILDREN, WITH MY SONS HAVING THE LION SHARE. IGBO MEN DO GIVE THEIR DAUGHTERS GIFT IN THEIR WILL BUT NEVER INHERITANCE. 1 Like |

My grand father bequeath the only land he had to his first daughter. my dad being the first son inherited his father's house alongside his younger brother. Amongst the ijaws, our women do inherit father's estate. But our land tenure system is patriarchy in nature. But that doesn't mean we do not give land to women. Women that didnt marry but had children may be given land based on compassion ground. |

webizone: I did not do so with any malicous intent. Besides including it does not make a difference. The main point is that the daughters were penniless and God changed the laws, he did not tell them to pray for husbands or get jobs by working as maids or on someone's farm. I brought up the story not mainly to validate my opinion that women should be heirs but to point out the hypocrisy of men of God that tell women to pray in such situations and those that like to quote the bible when a woman wears trousers or uncovers her hair in church but won't see that part of the bible when the situation arises. I am not one that follows the bible word for word so even if the opposite happened and the daughters of Zelophehad got nothing I would still have had the same opinion. Another thing is in your second sentence it says if he leaves no daughters, the sons should take everything does that not mean that daughters should get their share inheritances if present? |

Funny Igbo Traditions differ in different igbo lands Okosisi itodo opposed because he knew very well that Enugu Ezike women will not try to fight for land. Igwe Nnamani agreed because iheaka don't have a strong tradition Likewise paully Eze, knew that obukpa people don't have a strong tradition like that of Enugu Ezike people. Well the law is for rich igbo women that can afford a lawyer. I don't have a problem with women inheriting properties. My uncle had 8 girls and he's late now. The daughters have been relegated. I have called them severally to come so we can go to court and challenge why the got no land but they never showed up. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Grandeza: Exactly my point. Just that the idea of women being financially considered before marriage is not yet popular. Till date, most men still run 80 percent of the family bills. This need to stop as well because u cant give a lady assets only for her to be married to already made man while ur sons cant marry already made woman. He needs to be already made to even attract an already made lady. These things need to change as well else the pressure on men financially will kill them finish. |

Cantonese: See Igbo man trying to tell me about my darling Yoruba custom and heritage. You are nothing short of hilarious. There's nowhere in the length and breadth of Yorubaland where it is a custom that women don't inherit. Giving us a probably fictitious tale of a man who was greedy. The only method Yorubas use for sharing inheritance is by seniority where the most senior gets the larger portion and it doesn't matter whether you're male or female. And everyone gets a share unless the father disowns a child before his death and expressly forbids he inherits. Till today my mom's family does that. My grandfather owned a cocoa and palm-oil plantations. Anytime they have their siblings annual meeting, they share the proceeds from these plantations among themselves, male and female. Yorubas don't default along the lines of gender, they place more emphasis on age. |
