I lack the legal parlance to say that I find this capricious despite the fact that I am not a legal luminary.

LutanFyah:
If your father died intestate, his properties will be shared according to the traditions of his people. So the bastard is wasting his time and resources. If your mum was really married into that family, tell her to get the elders and Uncles on her side (you can help her to do this) and they will put the bastard in his place.


Where I come from,that bastard has no single right to the man's property. Imagine a bastard threatening my mum and trying to steal my father's property. I will let him know that I am the son of the soil and he is just a bastard.

There is no bastard/illegitimate children according to the law as long as the father acknowledged him as his child before his demise. He can validly challenge any action that seeks to deprive him from benefitting from his father's properties.

Although in this case that brother is just being greedy, he isn't the only child so they need to call his bluff on time.

This is happening either in Calabar or Akwa Ibom state....


The people there are very greedy and often have kids out of wedlock and the children often become a torn in their flesh.... it's a normal practice over there..... Reasons why those studying law and becoming lawyers are very good at defending land issues only...


OP, sometimes, this case takes a wrong turn having one party go diabolical to win all cases or using hoodlums to intimidate the other party and bribing the police force to stay away from it...


I'll ask that you involve elders of the land and seek their advice...


Good luck!

From your username, seems you're from this parts. You're not far from the truth Bro. Indeed he has been a thorn in our flesh. He's been at loggerheads with my dad even until his demise. I'm just tired of the whole scenario playing out now because I never bargained for this. The least the old man should have done was leave behind a will which will avert this whole drama. Even my old man had always pointed out that he knows the young man will be a problem in the event of his death.

LutanFyah:

Please, wake up and smell the coffee, people existed and had a way of life before this contraption called Nigeria and its constitution came into existence.

JovialJune:



Nice one.

And ladies going for single fathers, especially the ones with a son/sons, this thread should be a lesson that the sun doesn't shine there in the long run, na so so unending family issues to resolve every time, never settle for less cos single fathers/fall in that category, people advicing you will never advice their brother to go for a single mother, we have seen how most men insult and castigate single mothers/baby mamas here, so don't fall for the male ones.

Dtruthspeaker:


And this is where The Law of "Natural Justice, Good Conscience and Equity prevails"

Any Practice that is Wicked, unfair and unjust, is repugnant and therefore UNLAWFUL!

so when challenged, it will be declared unlawful and all the facts you raised up there have been truly declared unlawful by the Courts!

However, there is another law people use to bring harm to themselves The Law of "Consent is The Law"

Therefore, if you consent to a harm done to another, you consent to that harm to so be done to you.

That is what has powered these wicked traditions and practice.

LutanFyah:

The interpretation of law of natural justice and what nots in Nigeria is tied to the interpretations given to it by the colonialists/imperialists and not what the indigenous people interpret it to be;given the fact that they had a life,rules and regulations before the colonial masters invaded their lands.

LutanFyah:

In India,polyandry is their way of life, in Africa, polygamy is their way of life. The world doesn't revolve around every whims and interpretations of Europeans and Americans.

Poster, happy new year. Sorry about dad's passing. As for your step bro, I will put you in prayer. Don't challenge him to a battle no matter what. Disagree with him if you must, but dont make an open challenge. Keeo calm and see how it will play out.

baby124:
Get a good lawyer dear. Make sure you include the land your foolish step brother is living on as part of your fathers estate, so his share will be further reduced. Also get security in your compound to keep a close eye on him. Go to police and lodge a record of his threats. Let them invite him to sign an undertaking. Should anything happen to you or your mum, he will be arrested.
