LaboPolitics:





You are a yoruba champion of 'female emancipation' in Igboland, pointing crooked ewedu-stained fingers on another custom.

So we ask you, are yoruba women not in need of the same 'emancipation' that you pose to administer in other regions? Why have you marginalized your yoruba women from attaining the highest cultural stools in yorubaland?

Are you cursed with hypocrisy?

Ogbeni stop saying nonsense.

Alaafin Orompoto is a woman and we have several countless Adele (women) who serves as king in Yorubaland.

Stop looking for who to drag along with your archaic barbaric culture of women not being able to inherit properties.

The whole world is moving towards civilization while you guys are still stuck in the past.

Thanks the Supreme Court for granting your women this win over the archaic discriminatory culture.

Why do yorubas use 7 human head to bury their king? Is that not stupidity

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

Truly, civilization came late to the region

What is injustice in what this man said?

Please have a grasp of issues before screaming injustice, or you read down the thread.

I don't know how Osu caste system came into this.

Please stop being clever by half, the argument is based on your submission on this thread and not the opinions of those who are for or against the supreme court judgement.

banio:
Inheritance is a delicate issue that must be handled with care.

Imagine an Hausa girl inherited vast wealth and land in Sokoto. She eventually married a Yoruba guy. Do you think, the Hausas will welcome the guy to take away everything the Sokoto girl had inherited.

Inheritance is a delicate issue. It's as delicate as Kingship. All aspects as regards it must be considered diligently

Her children will inherit her assets

Good...that means you have read down.
So what have what you posted got to do with injustice or Osu caste system?

I don't know why you are looking for what is not lost.
If there is plenty to go round...Yes.

I am saying what it is. Is there anything wrong about that?
Every Igbo daughter knows that.

In my place, ladies even come to build houses in their father's compound if he has no male child and don't claim inheritance.

My mum built a house for her parents before she married, and they lived there till they passed on...her brother's children live there till date.

She doesn't claim inheritance. There is a difference between a gift and inheritance.

What is unjust about that?

When my dad & his brothers sold the lands they didn't need...It was shared amongst the males. On their own, they decided some amount of money and gave to their sisters who were married and in their husband's places.

What don't you understand?

topboss:
I HAVE TOLD ALL THIS YORUBA PEOPLE TO LEAVE IGBO TRADITION ALONE AND FACE THEIR OWN.

No we won’t leave you guys. In as much as we are one Nigeria, we will make sure we liberate you from your archaic culture.

Next one is OSU caste system.

Simple thing, let every Igbo man that have landed property in his community, which he reserve for his male children's and male grand children's make a will that none of his female children's will inherit any land property in his community, but when they marry they will be settle with things they suppose to get as inheritance as Igbo's normally does.

But encase she didn't marry the male children's will give her a place to live when she have a male child because without a male child there's no need for her to have land inheritance, to avoid transferring family land to infidel. Or if she has marital problem that warrant her to divorce, they will help her get justice so that the husband property will be share by that way she have something of her own.
I believed every law respect written will.

Because she has already been settled, some time father sell valuable thing worth of land to settle their married daughters in Igbo land, how can she have another inheritance when divorced? she have to go to the same court for husband property sharing because part of things her family settle her with was automatically merge with her husband.

IGBO WOMEN, KNOW THEIR CULTURE.

ONLY THE WAYWARD BASTARD WILL GO TO DRAG PROPERTIES IN HER FATHER HOUSE.


MANY IGBO WOMEN WILL ACTUALLY PREFER TO GIVE SOME OF THEIR HUSBAND MONEY TO HER FAMILY SEF.

WE ALREADY RAISED OUR DAUGHTERS TO BE CULTURED.

I am an igbo woman and I am getting my fathers property call yourself the wayward bastard because that is what you are.
You did not raise me the father that did is giving me a share to all his children and I am inheriting from my mother too.
Speak for yourself you don't speak for all igbo women.I was raised well you on the other hand and the women you claim were raised cultured were actually raised backwards

This is exactly what's happening in America.

Originalsly:


What next?.... this is setting a precedent... the gates are now open to do away with all cultural practices. What would be left of culture next 3 generations? Don't ever believe it is an Igbo matter.... the courts will tear away other cultures as well..... e.g ... equal rights.... a Muslim woman filing to.have the rights to worship alongside men..... a man filing the right to enter and use the womens washroom. Would you be saying the same?.... men rushing in to use the same washroom that your wife just entered?... or I guess that's different?

The court is opening a can of worms.

baby124:

You guys think so much with your dick. How many Yoruba men have you seen takeover ancestral property belonging to their wives? They are used to their women inheriting so they don’t think of the property as their’s. Rather that of their kids. Only an imbecilic man will be fighting a woman over her father’s property and his children’s property.

That is the concept of Igbo marriage where the woman is owned and bought. So everything she owns belongs to her husband. . See how you are imagining things based on what you will do if given an opportunity .

With this inheritance issue, bride price inflation might die a natural death, cause if you don’t own your wife, you can’t claim to own her inheritance too. And how much can you possibly buy a woman who came into marriage with her own wealth? You go fear to do anyhow. You will respect yourself.

Gbam,well said.
The igbo culture is so archaic.

DexterousOne:



That is why the Sharia Rulings can be appealed in appeal court

Appeal court is higher than sharia court

And the decision taken in that court cancels that of sharia


So yes

The appeal and supreme courts are in place to cancel barbaric practices across board

Not everything is about ethnic victimisation

Or "they are after us"

Good to know.

I support it, Female kids tend to
love their father more so they
deserve to inherit his properties
Period!

Parisian:
So sad to hear that. Sorry about that, don't let it get to you.

Thanks but it's all in the past now.
However, it is sickening as it portrays a form of rejection of the female child. Both genders are equal before God, so why the subjugation in some places? A late uncle in-law refused to train an aunt's children because they are all girls. He never joked with the males birthed by the other wives. He was very clear on that!!

We will also take the yoruba judge if he can make a judicial pronoucement that women can be Emirs and Sultan of Sokoto. He should try it if he is not a cowardly yorubaman.

I think we Igbos are becoming too pacifist probably due to 'overeducation'. What a yoruba judge will not dare with the Fulanis, he will experiment with the Igbos. See finish.

Before we became Nigerians, we first became NDI IGBO and we have our lawas, customs and traditions which we call OMEN'ALA.

Our OMEN'ALA till eternity supercedes whatever law that governs the entity we find ourselves in at the moment.

If our OMEN'ALA says women are not rightful heirs, it stands despite your judicial pronouncement because We will never abandon Our OMEN'ALA for omen'elu.

Then why crying of Sharia law in the north?

HabaHaba:


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!!!

Did the judgement say that women can ascend the thrones of igbo land?

Many of you do not have a sound argument on this subject matter
That's just the truth

And to make matters worse
Now there is a judicial precedent
So there is nothing any talk here will do to change it

If the female kids feel that they have been cheated of inheritance rightly for them

They can challenge it in court AND WIN

And if the other party has two heads .
Let him not obey the judgement

Then what follows
You take it

..are u telling us that u once had a female as the alafin of oyo and also a woman as the ooni of ife? According to ur statement this happened a long time ago so tell us why other first female offspring of the alafin never ascend their father's throne or are u also telling us that since last decade no female have ever emerged the first child of the alafin?

I am igbo you dummy.
I am an igbo woman inheriting from her father

I don't care about any culture the only culture I see and respect is my own.
Also the only law I respect is the Nigerian law.
Every other customary law is subject to Nigerian law.


There are no consequences those consequencies are only scare tactics that exist in your imaginary head.
Go and use those consequences on the supreme court to change it's stance on the issue

This entire case is what feminism is all about. Yet you hate feminism..?

Afiifii1:
while serving in Ohaji/Egbema in Imo state then, there were alot of taboos exclusively for the females. Amongst them is that female Shouldn't break the cola nut and many more. Igbo's females are very industrious to the extent of riding bicycle to and from the farm heavily loaded even with children. In this wise, while must they be cut off from inheriting their legal and biological father. Igbo's tradition is barabaric with respect to this seclusion. I'm a man who vehemently repudiate feminism, meanwhile, truth be told; woman must have due share in their father's estates not only in Igbo land but everywhere in the world.
