Vincenzomum: In the Igbo tribe a male heir is of utmost importance because this is the only way that your husband can continue his lineage, additionally, a man is considered to be childless in Igbo Land if he hasn't borne at least one son, so if you are unlucky enough to bear a fifth girl for him then expect to become the first of his two or more wives in the near future. |

Vincenzomum: 1) that you have only given birth to females isn’t your fault but your husbands- make him understand this scientifically known fact 2) the Igbo tribe places much emphasis on a male child as we had no kings but were governed by the “ishi okparas” ie the council of first sons led by the oldest among them. Males were the only ones to inherit from their late dads. That’s not to say that the women where treated too badly, a married woman had her hut and piece of farmland mostly till death- in fact, most communities had special plots of lands that women without children or husbands farm. Even then,we had a custom that a man with only daughters can come to an agreement with a groom that a son from his marriage to a daughter will carry the family name or one of the daughter remains unwed and any child she bears from relationship with men automatically belongs to her dad But the above is history , this days women inherit their dads personal wealth (emphasis on personal) on his death.A will handles such an issue’s and lately the SE states (Abia for instance) and the Supreme Court of Nigeria makes it legal for women to inherit |

frozen70: I am beginning to suspect that this is not nearly as simple as it appears. For example, did you know that male lions have the genes to grow to more than twice as large as they usually do and that the only reason that they do not is that there are alleles in the X chromosome(from female lions) that prevent them from doing so. The most accepted explanation for why this X mediated genetic action evolved in the first place is because giant lions will find it difficult to integrate into the strongly social structure that characterizes lion "society" thereby putting the species as a whole at a disadvantage. The reason why I bring this up is because it is possible that something analogous might possibly be happening in humans. The one thing that I have noticed is that of women that have borne many all-female offspring the vast majority of them seem to have descended from riverine societies. Also note that statistically boys are actually more likely to be born than girls by some 5% or so(although this statistical advantage does decrease a bit with age). |

Romanoff: In all these what do the women in the other family think? The wife of the 'wicked' uncle that is going to takeover their late brothers property, the daughter of the wicked uncles...do they support it, they look away or they just don't have a say in the matter concerning another igbo woman like them? |

Igboid: @ bolded. What happens when her father's side is more favourable than her husband's side? Shouldn't a woman be able to benefit from both side regardless of her marital status? There are benefits that comes with ancestral inheritance regardless of how equipped one is. While this culture has its own good side, we can't really overlook the negative impact it has on the female child. One thing I've come to realise is that most tribes in Nigeria differ greatly with the way they treat Men and Women. Us from across the Niger, You can't deny a Woman and her offspring her ancestral inheritance regardless of her marital status. Whatever you give the male, you must give the female. This too has its own advantages and disadvantages but I love the sense of self-worth and belongingness it brings to the female child. 1 Like |
