Sunkyapogee:
Who get that kind strength to read all that story... Igbos are Jewish and can never recognize female children as heir..

Even in the Bible, women were given an inheritance when they sought for it. Numbers 27 vs 1-11... It is also written in the Bible.. "ask and u shall be given". The lady went to court to ask and the Supreme Court consented.

[s]The yoruba woman after achieving her aim, brought buyers to sell off the remain properties in Orlu, Owerri and Onitsha. She ran for dear life when the relatives came out to confront her. [/s]

She is a lawyer, why didn't she go to court to speak the long English you are speaking here?

The man is currently in mentally sick and yoruba woman took advantage of that to milk him dry and abandoned him with his relatives.

IF YOU WERE A YORUBA WOMAN, YES.


IN IGBO LAND, WOMEN DO NOT INHERIT PROPERTIES FROM THEIR FATHER, THAT IS AN ABOMINANTION.



THE ONLY WOMAN TO INHERIT FROM YOUR FATHER WILL BE YOUR MOTHER AND DAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.



YOUR FATHER CAN WILL ONE OF HIS PROPERTIES TO YOU AS A GIFT AND ALSO HE CAN GIVE YOU THINGS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY AS SETTLEMENT.

Keep quiet jaree.

Go and argue with the supreme court.
It is poor educated ones you can tell tgis rubbish to.

Quoting someone is not a must most especially when there are no intelligent things to say...

This time, slow down, drink water and read over what you wrote above..

Ask him, how many of his sister have become igwe in Igboland. Yoruba still has Adele.

Culture or not, people should be trained to be independent.
When it comes to bequeting my estate, everyone will be treated fairly. Equity must be applied to the fullest regardless of gender.
This thing we call culture should be well interpreted. Our forefathers never used most of the modern technologies we are enjoying. We had to abandon their ancient and crude methods just to embrace modernisation fully.
How come we have allowed some bits of the past that should be left alone to impede our growth and development as a people?
This court saga is an unnecessary baggage and a ridicule to the Igbo people.
Women deserve better. They should be treated fairly and given the opportunity to partake in enjoying the wealth of their parents.
Apart from greed and wickedness, why should this case linger on?

The judgement is ok. The world has changed. Nigerians should stop wallowing in disheartening past!

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.

Ahhhhh, for once in this thread I read a mature & intelligent man's response with creative argument.

Bro, I really respect you.

People refuse to understand that even the secular law do recognize & respect Culture & Religions of different people.

Haba! Even in the Bible, most times God do not place men & women on the same pedestal

Please before any of you criticize me, simply take your time and reason it out :

Can a man's challenges in life be same as a woman's?
Men hustle right from childhood to be accepted, yet they have to work very hard to find such acceptance. But right from the home the girl child is always pampered better than some male kids, and so it continues into their adult life (friends, brothers, fathers, mothers provide and support the female child, not to talk of her boyfriends who she may feel obliged to milk, if not nothing for them as per her affections).

Then, at the work place, once a female staff makes an accusation that you harrased her sexually or in any wise, your own is capital SORRY!!! This is even so world over, once a female makes a sexual molestation allegations against a male, that's all, the world tend to be considerate of her more than they consider the male folks defense.

Not supporting Rape, but think of it, the events of over a year plus now have shown to all how much extent ladies can go to to discredit or damage the image/reputationsof a man/guy all by accusing home wrongly. To me its even like Jungle justice of Africa, because some young men with frail hearts has committed suicide because of wrong accusations, yet the female folks will not desist from wrong accusations.


Finally, who said the Igbo tradition does not recognize the Female kids?

Like some Igbo elders have pointed out from the write up, the father usually gives her some gifts and properties, during her marriage BUT NOT THE FAMILY ANCESTRAL MONUMENTS/LANDS/INHERITANCES.
These are called Obi, meaning, Family Treasures, which is kept foe Posterity, by the males who never get taken away by a woman by marriage but stays and manages those treasures and hands it to his own male sons.

Like my guy pointed out here, EVERY PEOPLE HAS THEIR CULTURAL ALLOWANCES/DOs & Don'ts, especially regarding to female rights and inheritances.

Can you enforce a law and make a Woman the Sultan of Sokoto?
Or the Emir of Kano?
Or the Alaafin of Oyo?
Or the Oba of Lagos?
Or the Oba of Benin?
Or Ohinoyi of the Igbiraland?!!!!!

Haba, lets THINK before we comment on people's religious, cultural or etc beliefs.
A culture is described as a way of life of a people AND IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED BY THAT PARTICULAR PEOPLE!!!

HABA! HABA!!!

Dedetwo:


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.

Speak for yourself and keep crying.
The supreme court has said it all

First and foremost you have no property your children will even inherit from.self.
Also you are in no position to speak for igbo women because me I will inherit my own.I have seen women from well to do families inheriting properties so stop being silly

These guys with their 12th century law. They fail to be civilized and I’m grateful to the Supreme Court for helping them get civilized by fire by force.

Now the next judgement to be passed is for the OSU discrimination issue.

In as much as we are in this Nigeria together, we will make sure we save you from yourself.

Gbam

The President, Ohanaeze in Anambra State, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, said bequeathing property to a man’s daughter was not alien to Ndigbo, and as such, the Supreme Court judgment should not be seen as strange or a surprise to Igbo people.

He said, “Most fathers buy cars, build houses and so on for their daughters upon marriage. So, it’s wrong to say that the Igbo don’t give their daughters their property.

“If a daughter is not married or is divorced, our custom and tradition require the father to provide accommodation for her in his house. If a man has a commercial property, say a house, he can give a part of it to his daughter to manage and earn money from it accordingly. All these are done in Igboland. So, it’s wrong to say that a girl child in Igboland is disinherited from her father’s property.

“But I must say that not everything can be shared between the male and female children of a man.

“Ancestral property is exclusive to male children of a man and our daughters know that very well.”

He added that it would be an absurdity and even an abomination for a man to bequeath such ancestral property to his daughters.

“Who will ever think of a man to give his Obi (ancestral home/house) to a daughter, who may be married to an Ibadan man in the name of equity or law? That’s unthinkable. Therefore, the Supreme Court judgment has limitations or exclusions like any other law, but it is not totally strange to us, the Igbo,” Okeke-Ogene stated.

In Summary, EOD.

E weak me, I will soon open thread on OSU, oru, ume, diala practice in their land.

I really can't believe such repugnant culture is being practiced by igbos.

I'm urhobo and even in my father's house I have inheritance. Infact, every woman from my tribe has inheritance and there is no superiority of gender.

My grandfather just passed last month and before his demise he shared land to his male and female children alike.

This issue of inheritance has really caused problem in igbo families. Brothers and uncles dragging property from widows and leaving them in penury.

It is well.

propsvilla3:

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.

I'm Igbo but cultures made by ancestors who died 500 years ago should not interfere with my life please

Interesting points raised on both sides.

Right now, what stake do married women have in their husbands' homes?

Why didn't women inherit ancestral lands? What plans have been put in place to ensure whatever they wanted to prevent will be mitigated?

If a woman inherits a land and marries, what happens? Can she pass it on to her kids? (in which case it leaves the family/tribe)? Or does it revert to her father's family upon her death?

In her matrimonial home, is she entitled to a share of land from her husband's land? Can she transfer that land by inheritance or does it revert to her husband's family/ her male kids upon death?

I think the elders and the court should have a holistic approach towards the issue.

LaboPolitics:


We are not talking about Regents who are even lesser than local councillors, we are talking of the highest royal stools in yorubaland Ooni, Alaafin, Awujale and Alake, etc. Why are yorubas discriminating against their females from attaining those revered traditional positions.

yoruba jibiti and their half-baked arguments as always.

why do you guys always like to consider the log in other people's eyes and not focus on the beam in your own eyes, the issue is about the female inheritance, how does that concern the Yoruba traditional stool? are we even talking about Yoruba female inheritance here which is not even an issue in Yoruba land

I think you guys are easily always up in arms when questions are asked about your culture and social activities as you hate people talking about them but you folks like to be good busy bodies in other people's culture. You want others to tolerate you but can't simply tolerate, how self centered and hypocritical you guys. The spotlight is on your culture as you normally throw the spotlight on others too

But she’s doing what you expect of your daughters now. You said Igbo women should inherit from their husbands. Not their fathers. This Yoruba woman inherited from her husband as an Igbo wife, yet as a relative you are still bitter that she beat you to the punch before you could use your brothers mental illness to rip off her children. .

Have you heard of Alaafin Orompoto?

She was the first female Alaafin of Oyo as at 1550s. Even till now you can see several female Adeles in Yoruba land standing as Oba.

Again, Lugard no go die well for putting civilized Yorubas with uncivilized ethnic groups in this rubbish Nigeria.

Long overdue but goes in harmony with their earlier judgment last year that overturns exclusion of the girl child from inheriting property

obami007:
I just pray they start allowing females have the full rights of inheriting properties after the judgment.

In Nigeria, it is one thing for the court to rule, it is another thing for the judgement to be carried out or implemented

As far as the court has given judgement,there is nothing the family can do. This judgement serves as a precedence to any litigation relating to sharing of wealth
