A man cannot have two first sons in Igbo land.

Don't argue on what you don't know. Okpara is Okpara even if the father married 17 wives. The eldest remains Isi Okpara. But others still have every right of a first born in the community

Hi everyone, I want to ask this important question.

I have a friend who happened to be a first son of his father. A first son well known in the house (That is his father legally married his mother).

But after many year, the father brought back another son he born out of wedlock. (Actually, the son came back looking for his father).

The son born out of wedlock is much older the other son.

Now the father is late, as Igbo culture, who takes over the father and inherits the father's property as a first son?

The older son born out of wedlock or the other first son in the house?

We have been debating on this but needed a clarity from an experience Igbos here.

Thanks in advance,

In this case there are two first sons from different mothers. according to Igbo culture, The older first son is the official First son for the family.


But when it comes to sharing of property and inheritance, everything will be shared equal between the two first sons.


Each first son is representing his mothers house. whatever he gets he'll share it with his other brothers.


It doesn't matter if he's the only son from his mother. that is the custom of our people
