You wanted to spoil there plan of selling the land by burying someone on it wch won't enable them sell it again, if he has not built the land then that's why they are behaving that way, don't worry if u have money buy your own land and transfer the body, I don't think he bought that land with his money, it's probably the one he claimed when he was alive and didn't built on it, he would have even drop a foundation to show he have put money on the land... Just saying, out of experience

Angrykidd:
This seems like an olosho customized advert otherwise why the first picture with the supposed dead man positioned on her nunu?
Anyways,if that's the girl in that picture then I don't mind marrying into her mad family.
Anywhere kpekus leads,I follow,humbly..

You are irredeemably mad.

Sunsets:
You are a cave man with a primitive brain. No wonder, you'll boldly write this.

Truth is bitter.. Greedy good for nothing families who will afterall be a burden to the man will want to milk him dry just bc he wants to marry one of their daughters who would have been doing prostitution in owerri before remembering to settle down.. I know what goes on there so chill

ipobarecriminals:
Stop foaming in Ur orifice.That's generally iPOB lifestyle.Land grabbers.As it in movies ,it happens in real life there.That is Ur tradition,deal with the truth.Abi U wan deny say u dnt sell Ur daughters their in d name of marriage? Anyway,she'll surely marry Yoruba,Ebira, Hausa and experience peace of mind.. Nonsense

in fact we have already dash her to Fulani herdsmen for free



Her father's siblings are all well to do, richer than her father, so you see


The foolish girl and her evil mom don't want their late father buried in his family house in the village. They want to bury the man very far away in a land he bought because they have intention to sell the man's house and run away from Igbo land but her uncles are smarter than her, they are profs and medics, some living abroad , which is not in Igbo tradition....Igbos don't bury their son far away from home except the man committed a sacrilege in the community.


In Igbo culture and tradition, only the first son can decide how his father is buried, and in absense of a son, the male siblings of the late man liaises with his wife or married daughter to make burial arrangements.


A single girl have no traditional right in Igbo culture to single handedly carry her father's corpse and go bury or decide where to bury him. These things were put in place to avoid foolish daughters messing up their late father like this foolish girl is doing now

21stDecember:

God bless you.
Your family carried the man along instead of accusing him of your dad's death.

He had a pure heart. Even though his children who were older than us weren't behaving and doing well, it didn't spring up jealousy in him and the wife.

Now they are reaping the fruit of their kindness.

These stories mostly come up where only one person rose up from a family. Maybe he didn't help anybody even though I know he doesn't owe them but I pray he left a will cos his family is so gonna cry and even the courts will not help him.

Its them against 6 greedy mofos

okpalaAnambra:

No one even goes to imo state to marry these days.. How they made marriage rite a business there is my surprise

Still wondering why they haven't amend some of those marriage rites na their daughters the thing dey affect pass.

Abdulazeez99:
A Nigerian lady has taken to Twitter to narrate the bitter events surrounding the burial of her father,Igbere TV reports.

@ijayy_ who revealed that three graves were dug just to bury her father, stated that it was because his kinsmen hijacked his corpse.

The lady further disclosed that her father's kinsmen refused burying him in his land because it is a ''virgin'' land.

Igbere TV reports that the Twitter user who noted that everything one sees in Igbo movies are true and in fact worse, advised women to always study the culture of Igbo men they want to marry.

Radarada culture, court wedding is the best especially for intertribal marriage!!

Sagefromtheeast:

My mum is from IMO and they didn't sell nothing then or ever

Bro, your dad was a lucky man...your maternal grandfather must had made everything easy for him...if he had wanted to play his cards according to the imo tradition, your dad wouldn't have only run but also disappeared..

This one is ranting and cussing all Igbo men..
It shows how your mother raised you..
The Igbo men wey you no value na em other tribes and Africans especially East Africans dey queue to marry..
You igbo women claim to be good but Nigeria has the second highest fake paternity in the world.. and You lots are the most promiscuous in the country..
Go and sit down..
The fact that your Uncles are stupid doesn't make every igbo man same..
Go and borrow sense.. or turn to butte feminist..

It's well, God will fight for her.

Just go to owerri and see lots of their ladies in their 40s still doing ashawo work

stag:
Her age bracket, from her photo, is even more of a problem than gender.

I agree with you, she was seen as a baby who hasn't got the right to make decisions.

Tatashi:
The igbo culture is one that needs to be amended. They are always quick to call out the northeners and say they are not exposed and always hide their women but the igbo woman has little or no rights in her father's house.How can your daughters not have a right to your properties but you give them to your sons who go ahead to handover "the inherited properties to his wife" (another man's daughter) while your own blood daughter does not inherit a pin. Isnt that madness? And at the end of it all these sons do not come back to wash your back in old age but your daughters.

U people just talk anyhow ..who told u woman don't inherit property in igbo land

Woman don't inherit ancestry land .. because it doesn't belong to the father but the village he is just a custodian ....only people in that village can hold it

Will your personal property to your female child no body cares

sammirano3:
Its common knowledge that igbos are evil even to themselves. I dont know how anyone cant see that. Thats why some of the wise ones come to yoruba to marry but still end up corrupting our heritage.

The hate is all over ur write-up, please open up. You think an ethnic group has monopoly of foolishness? Ur answer is as good as mine.

humilitypays:
This lady is writing complete nonsense!

It is not Igbo culture or tradition, it is your father's family tradition and wickedness. It is about your family, your father, his siblings, the kindred your father came from.


It's about your father's community not about Igbo culture or tradition.


You are a foolish girl, a wild girl who think because you are putting on fake lashes, fake wig and trouser qualified you to be rude and unruly to your father's kinsmen, and they have taught you a big lesson.


If you like marry a Fulani man or Idoma or Ibira or Yoruba, or white man, we all will be here to read your rants of how they have treated you illy too, so go and sit down, you are as evil and bad as your father's kinsmen, foolish girl

I'm sure she is not stating the whole facts

zachanalysis:
Hope you are not trying to justify this barbaric act. I don't think she is trying to gain anything other bring to our notice how sick some cultural practice are. Greed permeate every fiber of an average igbo man's nature. Over emphasis on monetary success as a yardstick for measuring how much respect and dignity you get is the main reason why they hate one another so much. Anything to earn that respect is considered good even if it brings pain to others. They say Yoruba and Hausa are jealous of them because of their commercial successes across the country. But an average Yoruba and Hausa is more United than the Igbos can ever be. A saying among the Yoruba has it that" Owo ma tan, Eyan Loma kun' . Translated roughly, good relationship is more valuable than wealth. Igos need to learn that money is not everything.

Always trying to demonise Igbos and pontificate your own tribe and culture is very unfair. Forming opinion on hearsay is bad. How many of you have crossed the Niger Bridge to Igbo hinterland even just to pass thru. Igbos this, Igbo that everyday without resting is annoying.
Yes, you don't like Igbos but you still won't let them go. Stop all these lame stereotypes. Every culture has its good and bad sides. You work on yours and I work on mine, but don't tell me you holy pass.

pwettyme:
Gosh!
I'm quite scared. Please can someone tell me about the orlu/Ihioma culture concerning burial in Imo state.

there's nothing to be scared about. My maternal home is Ihioma. All depends on the family you're from. No need to generalize

1. According to igbo tradition, are you allowed to bury your dad on an empty land when he has an obi (house in the village)?
2. Did your dad specifically say where ,(location, exact point) on the land that you wish to bury him? Did he tell your mum or your brother?
3. How old is your brother? If he is of age, why are you the one planning your dad's burial

PowerGlory:
I was in the said burial a d witnessed everything that happened.
1. The man died mysteriously in the house with wound on his head and the wife and children never told the man's brothers after 24hours but hurried him to the mortuary.
2. The man was a retiree of CBN a d pays the wife N100k and children N50k each every month but they starved him of food. It's his brothers that feeds him.
3. This same daughter asked his out of their house when he came to ask them why they beat up their father.
4. The said girl is in Law School and still behaves stupidly.
5. The man built a house but the wife a d children insisted that he'll be buried behind the house which his immediate brothers and kinsmen object that he be buried in front of his house.
6. Despite the money given to the woman she cooks with firewood upstairs.
7. The woman and children were asking the man's Will to be read while the corpse was still in the mortuary.
8. Anyone that cares should come to Oguta, Imo State to verify for himself or herself.

I suggest you open a thread on this so everyone will read this part of the story.

Rip to the dead. We should not judge from only her own story.

Why am I seeing burial as buhari? Hey God see what this government has done to my eyes

Hmmm.. life goes on sis.. stay stronge,
God will fight your unforeseen battle

Thank you for the clarification. Some girls are so wide. Imagine this little girl causing aspersions on people. No man should go close this type.

pwettyme:

Yes o!
I doubt if he knows about the process

Have no fear. I'm all for women rights but this is a one sided story. It probably is a family land and the inputs of the siblings is crucial.

Na wah ooh!

NoToPile:



So you are saying they killed their father?

How did you know how much they are giving to wife and children

Is it culturally wrong to bury someone at the back of his house as long as its the same compound

You do not bury someone at the back of his house in igbo tradition.

I have friends from oguta. I will ask.
If your statements are true, then the OP needs to tender an apology.
People should train their children well to avoid things like these.
