Elxandre:

Can women inherit wealth from their fathers?
Yes or no?

a father or brother can gift his daughter or sister land if he feels that her husband doent have enough to maintain her and her kids. So a woman can recieve gifts
coming to inheritance a woman can inherit from husband or father if she remains home as a single parent of boys.
She can also inherit land and property outside the viĺlage, it all depends on the father

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

Yes its a disrespect to the dead man.
The information they are working with true or false was probably feed to them by her father.

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.[/b] 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.[b]
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.

The only reason to bury a man on an empty land or farm land is if he built no house

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

If its a woman her people will be consulted and argree on most of the arrangement. They will also dig her grave and aprove her burail site picked by her husband or children.
If its a man his mothers people will be consulted first. The grave site will be chosen by the first son, if young under the guide of the elderst son of daughters of the family ( umuumu) and the eldest man of the family. The umu umu dig the grave.
The man must be buried in his compound if he has not built any house he can then be buried in an empty land belonging to him or the family. When his children grow they develop the land. Meaning grave site is a mark of ownership.
Please dont be scared
Its a clear cut tradition and people here are libral nobody will opress you.
