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:


"And if a man dies, AND LEAVES NO SON, then the daughters gets the inheritance. And if he LEAVES NO DAUGHTERS, then it's shared amongst his brothers."

You deliberately left that part. But I am not against the daughters getting something though.

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.

Grandeza:
Well said, but women are already being financially accessed these days before a man considers her for marriage, that's why it has become imperative for a woman to have some assistance,(whether in form of inheritance or not) from her family.

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.

I TOLD U, YOUR JUDGEMENT IS A WASTE.

Cantonese:


Maybe your experience is limited to what happens in your immediate surroundings.
Even the Yorubas experience this practice of women getting relegated by their male folk.

That some Yoruba communities worship goddesses does not erase the fact that women do not have inheritances in their father's houses. Some men do not want their daughters getting cheated by their sons when they are no longer there. They share their properties and ensure that everyone holds on to his/her own entitlement.

A case comes to mind. A man died and left a storey building at Isale Eko and 8 acres of land along Ibadan expressway. He left two daughters and one son. The son claimed the whole properties asserting that his two sisters had no portion in the inheritance left by their father. The sisters took him up and were awarded two acres of lands each in full and final settlement.

Can you disagree also about our people in the north? Can you honestly say that women have rights? If some don't practice it, then their women only were liberated from that evil behaviour.

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.
