The only Will you can write which should be meant for your lovely daughters is to get married by a good man and into a good family. Whatever property you accrued why alive remains in your father's house or compound.

You don't get it, properties in my father's house belongs to my Sons but every other properties or investment outside my home soil will be shared among all my Children. That is the right way to balance Cutlure.

kurupt1:

Sharrap my friend! Ur amongst the people that are making these women more stupid and entitled.
An igbo woman usually gets anything but ancestral property and Igbos have a reason for this.its a culture and not subjugation

Don't be silly!

Say whatever rubbish � you've got to say without bring rude.

So the Supreme Court didn't consider your reasons before the judgement?

You for tell us since.

Ok

Why can't the Supreme Court do something about the Sharia law being practiced in some Northern states?

Nice

Igbo culture is not superior to the Supreme Court. If you write a will and disinherit your female children, they would take it to court and the court will appoint Executors to share your property since you want to be stupid.

Supreme court was right. Every culture must reshape according to time, or the culture fades away.

It is long overdue oo that was how my dad's inheritance were shared amongst his brothers leaving nothing for his children, simply because the eldest was a female.

helinues:
Ndi developers still dragging about female inheritance in 21st century..

Truly, civilization came late to the region

Go and read about the inheritance and lineage of the Ohafias before exposing your unclothedness

Ab0bi:
Truth be told, the Judiciary system can't abolish a long practiced tradition.

It's a futile battle.Name a tribe without a repugnant tradition and i will take you serious.

Repugnant, you said.
Therefore, the repugnant tradition must be reshaped to become non repugnant.

That is a very myopic idea and the Supreme Court has scattered that nonsense. If you don't like it, that is your problem.

As a make you are entitled to his property. What were you doing?

Had it been it is Hausa culture
Some misguided boys from that side would be here abusing them

And who is stopping you from abusing us?

Insults on Nairaland change ZILCH!

Abeg go to work it's past 9am

Kolewerk


It can't work... Court just say hin own

Ab0bi:
It's futile....Igbos won't implement it.

Why are you in such strong support of a terrible tradition? Will you support it if you're a woman? Such selfishness.

stonemasonn:
Who inherits if you only have daughters.

nobody is looking at it from dis angle b my frnd n her mum were thrown out of their axe after d death of her dad just because d mum didn't give birth to a male child.

They need not implement it. The court will order them to or appoint executors for them.

Ab0bi:
It's futile....Igbos won't implement it.

Nice one


What sort of foolishness would keep a woman from inheriting her darling father's business and properties

All Ibo ladies need to do now is simply approach a court to get their share of their fathers properties


.

..if the justice system is looking for societal fair treatment ,it shld go to the north and change all the stupid laws which are very barbaric....13year old gals are forcefully married off, cutting of peoples hands and heads are called tradition just for verbal abuse, women are restricted from so many rights including education but no one is saying anything.... If its to Jim on the Igbo's they would know he to do dt one.....

After all, the igbo are living with their tradition rules peacefully and daughter are even very comfortable with it..

They shldnt com and scatter peoples lifestyle...

propsvilla3:

In as much as I crave for adjustment but just know that Culture cannot be primitive. It is peoples way of life and You have to respect that.

Culture can be primitive. if it is, then it should be abolished.

Why? Your daughters are too stupid to inherit from their father.quote author=propsvilla3 post=93695363]

The so-called Supreme court of Nigeria proved to me that everything which comes out of the shithole in Nigeria is idiotic. No court of any nation on earth will want to adjudicate the vices in culture and tradition of the people unless when human life is paramount. The vices in the culture and tradition of people are usually handled by the people with increase level of development. No woman in Igbo land would be allowed to carry her father's house to her husband's home.

Igbo culture disinheriting female children is evil, backward and repugnant to justice and commonsense. If Igbos lack sensible leadership to change that, the courts will.

PearlStreet:
Igbo culture is not superior to the Supreme Court. If you write a will and disinherit your female children, they would take it to court and the court will appoint Executors to share your property since you want to be stupid.

Which executors? Do you know the law?

It is total wickedness for a girl child to be denied an inheritance and yet when she sends money and goodies back home, they accept. For her to get married, they give the would be husband a list longer that the Nigerian constitution, placing so much demands as if the girl is a piece of property to be traded off. The fact that she's married doesn't even guarantee her anything because I've seen igbo women driven from their matrimonial homes upon the death of their husbands and the property confiscated by the man's family. The life of an igbo girl child is one of perpetual slavery. Forget the ones you see smiling in public and well taken care of. They are just trophy wives. The husbands do it to boost their Egos. You'll see an illiterate spare parts dealer boasting in the market about his graduate wife. The stupid sense of entitlement you see among igbo men stems from these wicked traditions. That's why a lawyer would want to argue a judgment based on Gender as a thing of single and married.

Me sef dey ask myself the same question

LaboPolitics:


yoruba were rejoicing because they want to a leeway to still Igbo men properties by marrying Igbo daughters and insult Igbo customs which even settle Igbo daughters with properties upon marriage. Kolewerk!

Let the same yoruba SC judge Bode Rhodes-Vivour also make a judgment that women in yorubaland have the right to Oba of Lagos, Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo.

If he won't do it, I'm sure an Igbo judge or Hausa judge will be glad to do so, since both men and women are now culturally equal in law.

U dont make sense nwanne.

Let our sisters share from whatever nonsense inheritance
