This is what is meant by the TRIBAL mentality .A people who only lived in hamlets until the white man came and gifted them baby hats. There is no record of any towns in which strangers lived in Igbo land before colonialism(They would have been eaten!) so no surprises . Every thing is UmuAkpu,Umu this and Umu that. That is the mindset

If you know nothing you about my tribe, you should have kept quite and read through the arguments.

pretty16:
A Very greedy mentality. So when she was born in her father's house, she wasn't part of his children abi?
My Igbo tribe, with their greedy sense. . Tomorrow that daughter becomes a force to be reckoned with, and everyone would want to associate with her,? Na so

What do you mean? Even if you are not prominent you remain our child. You are never sold but give to marriage, to whom you will find happiness in. If anything is to happen to our daughter, the husband will always answer for it.

Pavore9:
If she is not willed she has no right to contest. It is you as a brother that out of your own freewill can help her out with something if the need exists. Traditionally, when a woman is out of marriage and comes back home the first son gives her land where she cultivates to sustain herself through her lifetime and the land reverts back to the family upon her demise.

It is how it has been and see no reason why the govt should even go into that.

ArabMopol:
i will never give the lazy husband the privileged to get closer to me... once all the documents are with Me I will hurriedly change, convert and confiscate everything... she will get something but not equal share.... in Igbo land womenwill never inherit native compound unless she chooses to remain unmarried, got pregnant outside wedlock, her children rightly belong to his father, and such children are entitled to inherit their grandpa property if the old man did not have male child

Thank you my brother.

Pavore9:
With this ruling, he better have a will existing at the time of his death so that everything is defined. if there is no will regarding the property acquired outside the ancestral home, before the law the daughter has an option to contest for a share if she feels likes.

Then she shouldn't cry when it turns bloody. To me if my sister is married to another man & a property is not willed to her, she should just leave in peace for the sake of peace. I wouldn't hesitate to kill or get killed to maintain my father's and brothers linage because her linage is with her husband unless she is some way out of marriage.

deliveryboy:
These same lesser (temporal beings as someone referred them) are allowed to bring moneys and other properties from their husbands without qualms. BTW, are they not from the same ancestors the men came from. I am not happy to learn this part of Igbo culture, it is less than slavery over which we easily accuse other races.

Pls Our ladies are not temporary beings they are regard as pride with which we expand and make in laws. If a lady is not married and she is with no child, she must remain in her father's house and will laid to rest there. If she has a child out of wed luck and the child is a girl, she will bear the name the family, be protected and married off as rites demands every other ladies. So our girls are not treated in any way less...

Pavore9:
It is that of those acquired away from the ancestral home. A woman has no share of ancestral land as it passes through sons.

If the father has a son or sons, she has no right for the father's property unless willed to her.

deliveryboy:
You are so pained, has it gotten to that? Your own daughters, it's your type that will consult juju on land matters

I'm just telling the truth. If a girl tries that trust me not even supreme court will save her. Your kindred can forgo your father's bought property but no d inherited land. Heads will roll for it.

orimsamsam:
baba die first without a written will and see if the court won't decide ur case

and watch how the girl dies too. The land of kindred, no woman has right over it. The supreme court only pointed to land bought by the the parents not the kindred land.

Doug07034780891:
Believe whatever that you want but I do not have anything in common with any person from Imo state and we do not marry from there as we consider it a sacrilegious..

Oji onu, stop this your useless character. You are a disgrace to ndi Anambra

legendarystar:
a man without identity is like a sheep without a owner, are u Igbo or Jews you can't be two things at once except off cause you are a chameleon..... your ancestors were really confused set of fellows, you were used during the slave trade like every other African, if you think you are Jewish pack ur selves to Israel let's see how that work...
indeed some set of Igbos have proven to be brain dead like APC.

One of the highest fools are the ones that always leave their problems to talk about others. I believe none of these people asked for your help.

Amberon:
so i should start now...with what?

with what u have...

Amberon:
God bless and increase this humble man. Indeed you have not started living if you haven't done something for someone who can't repay you.

I intend to transform delta state too when I'm on Forbes rich list.

There are many people way more richer than some on Forbes, so you shouldn't wait to be on Forbes list to exact a transformation to your people.

AZeD1:
Don't get me wrong, the group are a bunch of political jobbers and I don't care about them.
My own is if Buhari is impeding the work of Emefile, he should resign. It's the same advice I'd give to Kemi and I expected Kachikwu to have resigned since.

My quoting you was just too point out that the CBN plays a role in the economy (a big one at that)and I believe the CBN governor should be more powerful than the minister of finance.

On monetary term yes but on fiscal term no. But the question is
1. Are we taking the appropriate monetary policies? To me is a yes on short and medium terms.
2.how? The bank have offered some incentives to manufacturers and to agriculture.
3. What is holding the positive result? No fiscal policy to back it up
4. How? There is no clear cut policies to aid these businesses to remain viable.

AZeD1:
Actually the CBN is kind of in charge of the economy. The finance minister is in charge of the FG's finances.( The finance minister is more like an accountant to the FG.)

Monetary policy == CBN
Fiscal policy == Finance Minister.

I will like to avoid the reason the group made for his resignations, because it is clear they want to be saling dollar as they used to... Let's be realistic, the CBN cannot afford any other option apart from withholding and controlling the amount of foreign currency especially the dollar to at least save the naira, mitigate inflation and regulate the depiction of our foreign reserve (which we can give them pass mark on). It is no longer news that Nigeria is in deep recession, with little source of foreign exchange, the economic activties has slowed down and local companies are struggling. The economic term of the presidency should bring out packages that will aid in boosting economic activties, spend more money and borrow if need be. You see this is what will aid the CBN to take more actions. The ball is in the court of the minister and his team to bring out packages that will be compatible with reality on ground.

So CBN governor don start to dey coordinate the economy baa? I believe the president should replace the current minister of economy. CBN gov needs a focused and sound economic planners from executive (presidency). The presidency should bring policies and programs to aid the CBN else we have nothing but wait until the naira falls to bottomless pit. This not time for propaganda neither is it time for the usual we are the messiah others are failures.

Justiceleague1:
ehhn! Co-ordinate his ARGUMENT kwa!!!! HABA!!!



thunda faya that apc basket mouth there...

yes he should mind his method of argument. Even if he is telling lies, he should at least be composed . Anyway thanks for d correction.

Vatsyayana:
Lol...
I'm also watching it and the Afonja is really sweating it out for PMB...
Don't worry h'll soon apologize to Nigerians!
And also he keeps saying everywhere is now a construction site!
Please if your area is now a construction site 'like' if not abeg share!

my anger with him he is not a good listener, he is confused and pre programmed

I am watching it...

To be sincere the apc chairman should be called to order by his advisers. He should learn to listen, co-ordinate his arguments and be realistic in his claims

Lagos and it's hypes, I see nothing special about Lagos to demand 1%

Nigerian ladies constantly losing their values all because of money.sp!t

Nice one, we need more of this

As usual recession should end In short time, unless you mean you will take us to depression

managermahmud:
The E-gbos been efingg up since 1966. Why new York? Why not Nigeria?? Thought igbo originated in Nigeria

If they go to Sudan to hold the meeting, what's ur concern?

Ndi kwusi nu imechu anyi ihu

I was expected this type write up some days after the hall meeting. Though I think it came out later than i expected but You guys are getting predictable. Truth be told Ngige is not even in top 20 politician or elder spokesman in south east. I watch how he turned himself to non entity in the town hall meeting.

AlphaCentauri:
thats very honorable. however in 1929 we would not let our women fight in wars or riot. thats the job of the oduduwa men. we are warriors bro. women dont fight our battles

To avoid taking this to a childish display, it very important i bring to your notice the ignorant character of yours. Let me remind you that the africans has a peculiar civilization which is always shaped by their environment. You thinking that the igbos in 1920's have on civilization shows how myopic you are. The picture below is the aba women riot done by mostly igbo women and other neighbouring tribe to protest against the warrant chiefs in 1929.

obaaderemi:
Adesoji aderemi became the king of ile ife in 1930 and before then his car was a rolls royce phantom.who ever posted this picture of naked men and women is a joker

oh now we have reduced this to talking about who own car hu? Well Igwe Orizu I owned a rolls royce in the 1920's also. Pls still bring the picture of other tribes in 30's.

Eshinkan:
If not for the Europeans....the iboes would have still been in their bushes....boiling humans for meat...

show us the picture of the other tribes in early 30s or even before then.
