You may have a case. I advise you to consult a good lawyer who will evaluate the arguments and give you advice. The supreme law of the land is decided by the courts and 'tradition' is only one component. If it is determined by your lawyer that your case is sound, you may further wish to do a cost/benefit analysis of pursuing it bearing in mind that legal matters concerning property may drag on for a long while.

Do not be intimidated should you decide to go forward. In life you only get what you fight for. Alakija the richest woman in the world sued the NNPC and the Federal government all the way to the Supreme Court for 12 ears before she secured her legal judgement. Do not be intimidated.

As for those people telling you not to fight tradition and making a case against women inheriting property, all I see is a primitive and sorry mindset that propagates the backwardness of Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. It is amazing and sad that someone who is educated enough to use the internet still reasons like an illiterate herdsman. God help Nigeria because nothing else can.

cold:
I've said this before and i'll say it again, Buhari has no idea what he is doing. He is out of his depth and grossly incompentent. As if that isn't bad enough, his utterances are unbecoming of a leader who is meant to oversee the affairs of over a 170 million people. Talking dismissively, disparaginly and condescendly about a region that carries the burden of the nation didn't do him any favors either. You know what they say about the goose that lays the golden eggs. Agreed, crude isn't selling at sky high prices like they used to but the administration could still earn enough to keep the economy running only if Buhari had been more tactful with his comments. Alas, that has never been his forte. So let him deal with the mess he has created with his loose talk.
Furthermore, where are the technocrats in this administration? Which minister can we single out and say at least this one is performing above par? None, zilch, nada! The president appointed people based on political appeasements and ended up with a lot of deadwood in his cabinet. At this rate i don't see the president achieving much for the foreseeable future.

I came here to say something but decided not to.
5 stars to you for your analysis. There is nothing to be added.

The op is stupid.

This hot info is copied to you as received by me. Happy reading Latest on Buhari's trip to London!

For the record, Buhari is not coming to London for ear infection treatment but for a secret negotiation meeting with the Niger Delta Avengers

An insider who is privy to the behind the scene arrangement on how to stop the further threat of the Avengers to oil installations in the region says Buhari will be in London to meet with Jonathan and the representatives of the British government funding truce to the impasse.

It would be recalled that Jonathan was briefly in Nigeria 4 days ago and met with the President in his office before jetting out again, back to London. A day after that, Buhari met Obasanjo to seek his advice on the crisis in Niger Delta. The Duo, Obasanjo and Jonathan advised Buhari to meet with the agitators in a neutral place away from the media - prompting the London trip.

According to my source, the Intel at the government's disposal on the Niger Delta Avengers revealed their connection to two Arabian oil producing countries who are said to be angry with Buhari's government for treating the Shiites as nothing and the continuous detention without trial of its leader, Zakzakky.

Also, the weapons and technology at these guys disposal is not something a serious government should take lightly. There are speculation that they also have connection to the North Korean government.

Nigeria is currently bleeding seriously because of the activities of the Avengers, my source told me that some of the boys behind the Avenger will be arriving London tomorrow on the invitation of the British government to be part of the peace process.

Obasanjo and some other south south leaders are expected to join the meeting in London anytime from tomorrow as well. All of these will be away from the media. But you will see the pointer as the week unfolds!

President Buhari is not in London because of ear infection, he is here for something more serious!

You read it from here first!

Just to study computer science, travelled to India and face all those troubles. I cannot see any justification for all these sufferings.

I dont mean to be rude but you are ignorant. Computer science and finance are the most highly sought after courses in the world today. Studying computer science is a lifelong ticket to printing cash.

Seeeeeeee:
Hmmm thing's have changed in my time we own our writing desk in the secondary school, after examination we will carry it home and bring back the writing desk the next term like that till we write our SSCE and still took our writing desk back home because its our property now everything government, government, government! Maybe the student's involved sold their writing desk and use the money for dog meat.

Your post clearly shows the effect that carrying your desk to school and back had on your mental development.

God help Nigeria

The five signals should include: a well-articulated plan to reflate the economy, removal of Petroleum Subsidy, investment in infrastructure spending, foreign exchange rate adjustments and improved economic viability of States.

With the exception of number 2 Buhari cannot deliver. Anyone waiting for signals is on along thing.

This is the aftermath of criminalising homosexuality. Those two are gay but obviously cannot be together publicly because of the society.
In order to keep up the pretence, innocent people like the wife and her mum would not have to deal with not only cheating spouses but gay ones as well.
If you will not let them be peacefully in public, na this kin stories Dey happen.

I am speechless...
Do you have a valid passport? Please utilize it. Find your way out of Nigeria and get a job as a gay apologist in the west. They need morally deficient people like you.

I wish to sell a plot of land at Amagba near Ugbo. Size 100X100. 2m asking. If you can dispose of it reach me on whatsapp 08058813419

I have worked in multinationals and other companies and I have managed people older, younger and equal in age to me.
Your leadership skills are being tested and so far you have not reached the mark.
You have a driver who comes late to work and not only do you condone it, but you also take the molue because you are "a guy-man" (smh).
He talks back at you then turns around to appeal to your emotions by bringing in his family(smh again).

I am here to tell you this - in the corporate world if you show weakness you will get eaten alive and you are showing great weakness. I once had a driver tell me to get out of a company car because he wasn't prepared to go my way: mind you, I was at the time almost 5 levels above his boss (the head driver). Since then I learned a lesson.

You are his superior. Query, transfer, or sack him. I suspect it is too late for the first option.

In future show consideration and empathy for your workers but do not let it degenerate into familiarity and insubordination.
Grow up and be a leader. You don't have to be nasty but you must be firm.

Cheers

So true and its very sad. Poverty is the cause of this, the poor in Nigeria celebrate their oppressors.

He's not able to say much for now because of the witch-hunting of the Buhari-led Government.

**** If you can not discern that Akpabio is an evil kleptomaniac politician who sucked his nation and state dry under the guise of 'development', and instead call him a convenant child of Jehova ****
Collaborators **** are the reason Africa is backward.

The IYC President added, “For us, we will not beg for it. We will not even lobby anybody. The oil is our oil and we will take it. If they like, they should put it, if they don’t like, they should leave it. We expect that this country should have commonsense by including community participation.
“In the issue of pipeline surveillance, this 10 per cent would have covered pipeline surveillance. Once the people know that they have 10 per cent in this business, they will protect it.”

The man makes sense. We should resist the attempts by Hausa/Fulani to colonize us.

ramdris:
Yeah right! We heard same thing about Kanu...no one can face government however I don't want him arrested as well to avoid public ridicule...Nigeria ain't right for that kind of trial yet...

You lack common sense. Is Kanu in the same league as Jonathan? Even Tompolo is aeons ahead of Kanu.

Allwility:
Please someone should explain the bolded part for me. Ha! What kind of country is this sef

Nigeria is ruled by INCOMPETENT idiots

Traditional bone setters are good at their job. I knocked an Okada guy down about 5 months ago. His legs were broken, the guy is back to Okada business now. His was done at Cotonou. I prefer them to hospital. It is well

Because you and people like you are illiterates.

We are in 21st century

Your body may be in the 21st century. But if you choose to remain ignorant you may as well be in the the 13th. Learn history young man, knowledge is power.

johnydon22:
This Omojuwa is just seeking desperately for relevance and attention... best ignored because his opinion aint shiit.

Anyway lets give Buhari the chance to run this ship for at least 2years and see how he performs he is not up to a year yet.

No matter what, he is our president for the next 4years and we owe him our allegiance. . . Nigeria will always be a victim of kakistocracy

People like you are a disgrace to yourselves, your family and your nation.The young man has just provided objective evidence that the President is drifting and taking the Nigerian economy along and you're busy talking nonsense.

Onyocha:
[b]honestly speaking, what happened on the road is very much irrelevant. Both sides are wrong there.

What is relevant to me is that the army used the earlier road incident as excuse/cover up/pretext to launch two assaults at the worship center and at the cleric's home. During the siege and raid many were killed and the structures got demolished. These are crimes against humanity committed and human rights violations. No one really care that the army reacted -by taking law into their hands -to road block and many understand that the blocking of road and confronting soldiers who don't value lives is wrong. The problem is the siege on the house and the hussainiyyah.

Many are distracted by what happened on the road. The army is using the road incident to cover up their assault on and demolition of the house and hussainiyyah. Many lives were wasted.That is wrong and unjustifiable even under military rule.

The siege and assault on the home and worship center came after the road incident had ended. Why?

The COAS should please not resign. He should either remain and continue to tarnish the image of the APC government and the image of the country, or let him be sacked immediately and punished for his crimes. This is a democracy and no one should be a victim of religious persecution. Citizens should be free to choose what beliefs they want to follow.[/b]

Finally, one person that reasons logically on Nairaland. Collect one Origin from the barman Mr Onyocha. Lets together watch the how match between Buhari / Burutai and commonsense plays out.

I'm yet to feel fashola and adeosun ooo
Those re my interests. Transport can do anyhow. My 2 walking sticks(legs) re functional

Adeosun will fail. She is ill-equipped for the job.

All the time he was in power he never spared a thought for the downtrodden. Suddenly, out of power he is their ally. Very curious.

The Islamist who doesnt shake women meets the imperialist who doesnt shake commoners without prior permission.

raayah:
This is so sad and embarrassing to us as Nigerians.

It is sad that we as Nigerians encourage this scamming behaviour in a way.

Saying things like the victims are mumu only help to make the scammers feel wiser. It encourages them.

Pointing out the scammers tribes too does not help in any way.

Let us come together and condemn this shameful and corrupt crime.

WAIT A MOMENT!! HALT>


Stop buying into this Oyibo crap and propaganda. Agreed: all fraud is bad and should be punished when unearthed. However Nigerians are not the only fraudsters and not even the biggest - not by a long shot. White people scam both Africans and caucasians of[b] billions[/b] everyday but Nigerians are always the scapegoats. The greatest internet scammers in the world are from Russia and eastern Europe yet the English say nothing about it because the money is banked in London. You catch two hungry guys stealing 1M pounds and you want our sympathy. Do you know how much Shell steals from Nigeria daily?
419 is bad and I wont partake but no Oyibo has my sympathy.

nenyibabs:
To be honest, no. It's not an incentive, it is their pay. You probably didn't get to know details. Doctors, Pharmacists, Med Lab scientists are on a salary structure from the time they graduate, when they do the mandatory 1yr internship: conmess for doctors, conhess for others. They are not on the regular civil service salary structure, theirs is peculiar. The pay is structured : there is a basic salary, which every corper gets, then they get paid call duty allowance, because when others work and go home, they are on duty. They get a hazard allowance cos of the risk of infection and stuff (remember Adadevoh?). Etc etc. It's mandated by law, and even in private practice the pay is broken down like this as well.

Now, I'm looking at 15k. Is that supposed to be call allowance, or basic, or... what exactly, it has to be specified. What most people do, is to remove or slash the basic, and keep the allowances as per the salary structure. The emollument is stated by law and enshrined in the public service Gazette or whatever it is called.

Well, it's up to the corpers involved Sha, but I don't know any health worker who does not consider nysc a demotion after the one yr internship. I wouldn't stay, if it was me. I remember when I served in 04, and I was placed on the wrong salary scale in nasarawa state then. I out rightly refused it. I went to the directorate in Abuja, got a copy of the Gazette, and wrote the management, telling them to correct my placement or officially reject me so I could seek reposting. It was finally rectified after 2months and I got my arrears, though I was branded a greedy igbo girl. Even in 04,my call duty allowance as a Pharmacist was more than the 15k self.

My point is this: if someone is entitled to something by law, let them have it. It's not wrong for someone to ask for what is due to them. If there is going to be a downward review, I don't expect it to go beyond 100, cos I don't see where and where they will slash the pay from, unless the state is saying that they will only pay hazard allowance only, no call, no basic, nothing else. Let them explain details to the corpers involved and release those who don't want to stay, to go and look for their destiny elsewhere.

Anyways, not my monkey, not my circus. To each his own.

OP :You're a babe. Your mama born you well.
I have this to add as well: The Nigerian youth is by and large a reticent and oppressed fellow. Instead of "hating" fight for your rights. The fact that a health worker earns X amount a month does not in any way prevent you from earning 20X. Update yourself, negotiate,hustle.
The proposed policy is retrogressive and will lead to a fall in standards, needless deaths and collapse of the system.
In this same country lawmakers at the federal level "reduced " their collective yearly expense from 150billion to 120billion. The e-ninjas on this forum did not see that as fit for debate or demonstration.
Nigeria is doomed.

[/b]Our correspondent learnt that the police could not conduct an autopsy on the victim due to the pressure from his relatives who wanted him buried.

His corpse was said to have been released to the family for burial, while the suspect was transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation.[b]

Not even the Nigerian Police know the law. Autopsies are not voluntary when cause of death is suspicious.
God bless Nigeria.

This post (and many others like it on nairaland) speaks volumes about the social class and mentality of many nairalanders.
