Where did you see that the husband’s family will come and take his property with surviving children male or female? I think you are Chinese and don’t know the difference between the tribes in Nigeria.

Hypocrisy. That's why this nation remains where it is. You leave what happens in the entire nation and pretentiously consign it to the Igbos, just because of your dislike of the Igbos. You deliberately act as if it does not happen in your tribe. Anyway maybe you are still very young and have absolutely no experience or knowledge in this matter.

I advise you to ask Yoruba elders around you if such a thing has never happened or it does not happen in your own tribe.

Ask the northerners around you too if such a thing does not happen. That can help you for clarity when you discuss such a heavy matter as this.

I am not a Chinese. I am a Nigerian but I also think you are a very young person with no experience.

Cheeryfeet:
you should do your self a favor and read your post objectively and see if it makes sense and quit embarrassing your self. Moreover stop acting like a kid, maybe you are

I did it made sense.
You on the other hand has failed to give a reasonable reason as to why you hold such opinion

LordSamuel:
hahahaha are you up to 18yrs....
This your comment definitely shows you're still a teenager

SamEastson please let the kid go

You are not serious.
When you have nothing to say you call me a teen infact I am 10 years old nonsense.
My comment doesn't show anything you are just not sound enough to comprehend sense

Igbos are not tolerant yet they want biafra. I have never seen a tribe more confused

I agree with you completely.

I am from Anambra state, and a strong advocate for an egalitarian society.

Ndigbo are largely a confused people.

How on earth did they come up with such obnoxious culture of disinheriting the female child?

How is that even supposed part of any culture? Isn't that the height of insensitivity, intolerance and gross senselessness?

I am still in shock that there are no jubilations happening all around Igboland by woman groups and female Igbo elites around the world.

This is indeed a landmark achievement. But the big question is; do our women even know this? I am ashamed for them.

I have two children; a boy and a girl. God in heaven knows that I will give them equal inheritance.

calling our fathers and mother's confused people is the height of ignorance,
Little wonder, they say that The Igbos wake their fathers with a sliding kick,
And I'm beginning to see reasons to why the insertions and maybe, you're among those that wake up their fathers with the said sliding kick.

If a man shares his properties or better still make a will while, alive,
I don't think if there will be a room for all this Jabberwocky.

IgboSomalia:


Can your mother and sisters inherit property?

Igbo widows are for the enjoyment of the husband's brothers. Spits

you can masturbate all you can but the only thing I can tell you is that,
No matter what you do, you can never catch up with the Igbos, the other guy @sameastson has ignored you since because he knows you have nothing upstairs.
I can see you running all over the beautiful thread of the wedding photos of that military office infecting it with your hate filled brain,
I can bet my balls, you have never been to Igbo land, just spreading hate and misinformation.

BabaRamota1980:

Im rejoicing for Ibowomen. This is victory for them. Someone has to stand up and protect their interest. Aren't you happy Supreme Court ruled in their favor?

The enemies of Igbos are protecting the interest of Igbo women, lol,, you're really funny but rather makes no sense.

trutharena:


I have watched it in movies where their women can’t lay claim to inheritance. I was thinking it was just movie and little did I know that it actually does happen in real life.

This thread is an eye opener and I am amazed seeing some of them defending such archaic culture and oppression of their women.

stop watching too much AfricanMagic, it's not good to your mental reasoning.
If you believed all that you see on TV then you'll all believe that cobwebs actually came out from spider man's body,
If you believed everything you see on the TV, you'll actually believe that America has developed a teletransporting or invisible vehicles on other science related fictional movies.
All are imaginations.
You can also believe that money rituals actually makes one rich as in the case of Pete Edochie,
You guys called him a ritualist.

U hv time 4 d fool. how re we even sure dat he z Igbo. yorubas will use every opportunity to show how much they hate us but d good news 'we don't care abt ur opinion'.and for those saying"I prefer a Yoruba guy 2 Igbo guy",d truth remains dat no sane Igbo girl will like 2 marry a Yoruba guy. Yoruba will marry many women without making provision 4 their upkeep and warefare. they re never satisfied wit one woman and they can change their religion at any time. Igbo guys maintain and mk their family happy. wit or without inheritance we re happy and we strive 2 b independent. we work 2 mk our own money not 2 depend on inheritance. and no matter what d yorubas think or say, we will always b better and happier than them.

Yoruba men that usually marry multiple women and abandon them to suffer, are the one rejoicing over this news,, really funny!
If you check the family background of all afonja men,,, salivating on this thread,,, their mothers all got married to different Yoruba men. What makes up their families is step sisters and brothers, you barely find biological siblings in a single family.

the Igbos are very weird people. met a guy from Anambra. during our conversation, dude told me he cannot build house in his village because of his "village people". said he had to appease some kind of village Demi Gods before he leaves every December.

how can you discriminate against your own child just because she is female and the selfish thought that she will share the inheritance with her husband. what of her kids? is the property not theirs too?

So because you met the guy from Anambra a whole tribe is weird?

Meehn, the way some of you reason is laughable.

BabaRamota1980:


When next igwe call a meeting of the autonomous village please table these before him. Supreme Court has spoken! Ibo women and daughters are free to sue any family member that trespass and want to deny their rights of inheritance.

Lol. Nice one.
But if you have the experience and deep knowledge of the culture, you would know that people would continue to practice the culture including the ladies affected, Supreme Court judgement regardless!

The Supreme Court missed some key opportunities:

It assumes it’s only the father‘s estate that is being shared. No mention of the mother’s. Now from my earlier post, I mentioned the mother’s estate.

When an Igbo girl is being married off, the same tradition people are trying to denigrate gives her her own inheritance to take to her husband’s house. It’s called Idu uno or Idu ulo depending on the accent.

And like I said, Igbos won’t give ancestral lands to their daughters as inheritance. They inherit other property.

tell yourself whatever makes you happy. the joke is on you and your stupid tradition.

AmazonTopaz:

Your community is backwards if it does not recognise the rights of women as human beings who deserve the sane respect and treatment accorded to men.
You cannot be just and learned if you are opposed to the supreme court judgment

They can not be right at all times. Sometimes they pass judgment by emotions (and who say they don't take bribes).

Its just civil to abide by thier judgment. At times you can be right but due to your inability to produce convincing evidence, the table will be turned against you.

You actually knew you bought a used phone from a friend without receipt only for you to be told you stole the phone.

Get it.

There is no jubilation on the streets of Igboland By Igbo women because we all know that Supreme Court judgement is on paper.

The problem is that Many people don’t study yet jump to conclusions.

The real question is what inheritance are we speaking about?

It’s broken into several parts:

1. Native land owned by the father is for the males Only. Non-negotiable.
2. Bought-over land, cars, liquid assets, etc Owned by the father is for all the children.
3. Bought-over land owned by the mother is at her discretion.
4. Houses built on native land for the mother is bequeathed to her last son.
5. All other properties of the mother E.g Bought-over land, Jewelry, cars, clothing, shares, trade equipment, shops etc are inherited by the daughters only. Non-negotiable.
6. At every daughter’s traditional wedding, she is given her inheritance in cash, goods, car, home furnishing etc as much as her family can afford to go and build her life in her new family.

This is at the basic level.
So, if you are indeed from Anambra state, you should have known this as Omenana! This is the egalitarian culture you seek. You should research more on it if you haven’t already and gain more knowledge.
This creates a balance in the Igbo society.
