You APC tools should stop twisting what people said for once.

What sort of desperation is that?

Nowhere did Amaechi say the South shouldn't vote for Atiku, you tools

This high-handed tax-collector called Tinubu must be removed at all costs!!!

Nansens.

If he likes, let him come from the South.

What is he doing with all the money apart from buying loyalists over for his reelection? At the cost of the welfare of the common man

Very very useless president

dalass:
FOREX.... Naira to Dollar rate is what makes it so. Naira is about 10 times cheaper now than buhari era...

Who made naira cheap ?? Na PDP ?

Who do you think you're deceiving by shifting the goalpost? This is how you defend rubbish and be getting bad leaders

Shameless Government!!!

So you people know to probe past Governors and haven't probed any of the any of mega-looters we have around, all because they are on your good books.

El Rufai fell out with Tinubu and all of a sudden there's need to probe somebody. And in probing, of course a lot is found.

Why not channel that same energy into probing Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and all other Governors, if you're truly not only witchhunting your perceived enemy.

Wicked souls.

Don't worry. E go sup one day for this country

Cash and carry justice system

Igboho don cash out already, otherwise...

Chukwuedookwuob:
When a man dies intestate, it means he died without a valid Will.

What happens next depends on the law that applies. In Nigeria, that can vary based on location and type of marriage (statutory or customary).

Let’s break it down clearly.

1️⃣ Who Controls the Property First?

Nobody automatically “owns” everything immediately.

The family must apply to the Probate Registry for Letters of Administration.

Until that is granted:

No one has legal authority to sell or distribute assets.

Any attempt to take property can amount to intermeddling (which is unlawful).

2️⃣ What Law Applies?

In Nigeria, three main systems may apply:

Administration of Estates Law (for statutory marriages)

Customary Law (for customary/traditional marriages)

Islamic Law (for Muslims)

The distribution depends heavily on which system governs the deceased.

3️⃣ If He Was Married Under the Marriage Act (Statutory Marriage)

Under the Administration of Estates Law (varies by state):

Generally:

The wife is entitled to a significant portion.

The children share the remaining estate.

If no wife or children, parents and siblings may inherit.

Example (simplified typical structure in many states):

Wife gets a fixed portion.

Children share the remainder equally.

4️⃣ If He Married Under Customary Law Only

Customary law rules may apply.

In many Nigerian customs:

Property goes primarily to children.

In some customs, the eldest son traditionally plays a role.

Historically, some customs excluded women from inheritance — but courts have struck down discriminatory customs.

Notably:

In Ukeje v. Ukeje, the Supreme Court held that denying female children inheritance is unconstitutional.

So daughters cannot legally be excluded.

5️⃣ If He Had No Wife or Children

Then inheritance usually passes in this order:

1. Parents

2. Siblings

3. Extended family

Exact order depends on the applicable law.

6️⃣ What About Property Bought in Wife’s Name?

If property is legally registered in the wife’s name:

It is presumed to belong to her.

It does not automatically form part of the estate.

7️⃣ What About Joint Accounts or Joint Property?

If property is jointly owned:

It may pass automatically to the surviving joint owner (depending on how it was structured).

8️⃣ What Often Causes Problems?

In Nigeria, intestacy commonly leads to:

Family disputes

Widow harassment

Property grabbing

Sibling conflicts

Litigation

Many of these issues could be avoided with a simple Will.

⚖️ Key Takeaway

When a man dies intestate:

The law decides.

Not emotions.

Not family meetings.

Not “eldest son tradition.”

And the applicable law can completely change the outcome.

I'm awaiting your response to my question please. Thanks

ogaemma:
They are not unprofessional.
They are trained gorilla Jihadist.
If you ever watch any video of a terrorist camp, they are fully trained by ex military officers who have seen it all in warfare.

We need to update the equipment of our Army.

Excuses galore while soldiers are being killed for free.

What's stopping FG from upgrading the army after all the tax? Is it after all the innocent kids of soldiers have been rendered fatherless?

What's your take on this case that a female friend shared with me about her cousin sister recently?

The couple are going their separate ways. They did the normal Church wedding which I believe falls under statutory marriage by your categorization.

They have no child together.

But the man managed to build one house during 5 years span of the marriage with no single contribution from the woman, Neither did he at any time fail to provide upkeep for the home (feeding, medicals, clothing, accommodation, etc).

Owing mainly to character problem from the woman's side, the man is fed up and is walking away. But the woman insists they built the house together and must sell and share the money, that she was no leaving the marriage empty handed. Her family are backing her too.

According to the law, does she have a case here?

The property documents are in the man's name.

Who dash monkey banana?

Who born APC for where Abia electorates dey?

nairalanda1:
Lol,they are supporting the Iranians,the same way you guys support Israel

Better not take a side. Both of them are alike

Is it until they match on a country's flag before their support for who they like is noticed? Such an unruly before would have better condoned from motor park touts. Not from a school that signed licensing agreement under pretense that they're going to teach good behavior.

nairalanda1:
That school is owned by the Shiites. It's not a government school..it's a school set up by the Shiites for the Shiites

It still doesn't warrant them to be encouraging terrorist ideologies.

It's a violation of the terms of the government license given to them to operate.

What he said is the truth.

If people boycott your so-called election, a reasonable leader should be concerned. Not celebrate.

It shows people have no confidence in what you call election.

Only 7% of registered voters... Imagine

Nigeria that was once the giant of the whole of Africa, is now last in West Africa!!!

God airpus

Why then are you guys trying to force States into adopting your Sharia when you can't take being forced by others?

Yeye people

As an Igbo man, he'll soon be persecuted by Tilimbu's cabal for this statement, whereas Northerners have said worse

This is why after they take loans to campaign and eventually win, they milk the treasury dry. Let's be moderate in this country. It all falls back on the common man who isn't even sure of his daily bread

There has to be serious consequences for corrupt practices over public money. Not this political witchhunting EFCC is doing in the name of fighting corruption

I pray this also be the fate of all corrupt Nigerian political office holders, including Tilumbu

INEC Oga, we're not getting deceived again with assurances that won't be implemented. You better do the right thing and not copy that usselesss Yakubu.

Knowing the right thing to do is not enough. It's doing it that matters

A very shameless human being, disgracing Akpabio and his fellow APC supporters

El Rufai is probably more powerful than Tinub and Akpabio put together in Nigeria right now. No be by title or by convoy

Xavi, because it certainly can't be Iniesta.

It also shouldn't be Busquets because Modric isn't that much of a defensive midfielder.

I'd let him start ahead of Xavi if I'm the coach

They will politicize everything, even on matters meant to save lives of those they claim to be representing.

Once it doesn't affect their family members who are mostly overseas, the rest can kpai for all they care.

Thunder, where are you?

Bandits sympathizers are even in the NASS

when you attract negative vibes yourself

Does he need all these distractions at this time?

Wise investment opportunity

A call away

Keep the calls coming
