Freemasonry:
If he never paid her dowry, then she was never his wife in the traditional sense.

In some Igbo cultures, it is the man who pays the dowry that inherits the children of an irresponsible man.

No offense, but it is what it is.

This is supposed to teach guys who just bring in a woman without doing right by them and their customs.

BlissGod:

You lack wisdom in speech, and incoherent in thoughts. We don’t know the whole story but don’t forget 3 out of 4kids are adults already.
They’re not stupid, they know who and the type of man the father was before enabling such decisions from the mother.
The case is lost because this man did not respect the girl’s family enough to marry her daughter after years of marriage.

He was too confident that the woman won’t leave. Imagine you having a babe and she gets pregnant and the least you should do is meet her family for proper marriage, then you forget that aspect and then have more three kids, it shows you’re disillusioned greatly.

If that woman would have died in that years of marriage, this man will see hot 🥵 real coals of fire on his scrotum.

Do the right thing so you can stand strong during times of percussion.

tctrills:

It is their choice. If the don't have any attachment to their father or his name, then it's ok. Also, in Igbo culture, if a man has not paid his bride's price, the children will belong to the family of the woman. If it is true that the man hasn't paid bride price after 23 years, then what is he fighting for? It seems that he has money to hire lawyers but not to do the needful.

Dreament:
at the end who will suffer, the children. Because no matter what, they will be treated like an outcast in that community. The case Wii be worse if the new husband is not an Igbo man. Just imagine a man from my community saying he inherited children due to the moman tradition. Hmmmm those children will look for their paternal roots by all means. Because nobody will recognize them as children of the soil

MrDoGood:


I'm talking about orphanage. You don't go to a baby factory to adopt kids.

What the hell is even a baby factory?
Do your government and traditional rulers in Yoruba state recognize baby factories?

Go read the quest you asked again. And I quoted by saying that's a different thing entirely.

Then I went further to address the one you drew my attention stating your government and traditional rulers are supposed to enforce laws like that of the east. Maybe I got your question wrongly. Or you didn't put it right

codemaniacs:


I mean such laws and customs should start and end in the east once they are outside the east they should be subject to the laws, customs and culture of the place they are in. meaning Igbo women cannot give their children a different surname from the Father's surname especially if the father is Yoruba and they were born in the SW.

It is not something the judge should have adjourned, it is something the Judge should have told her squarely that they are not in the east and what's law in the east is different from the SW. the judge is incompetent.

codemaniacs:



see how you defended criminality

I said baby factories because a baby factory is illegal..

A baby factory is not a legal orphanage or foster home.

but you defended

izonborn098:
The new husband mumu'
The wife na another mumu'
The children are also glueless and fool'

Entanglement:
if you see an ondo woman, just know that her yansh is one for all!

jeromestarks:
You see why I say fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Only her can guarantee you a happy home you can return to after work.

Never marry a woman you did not disvirgin, she will never forget her ex. She will fvck him whenever he's in town and you will train his children thinking they're yours.

A woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men is a curse to her children: born and unborn.

She has been fvcking the Igbo man since. He actually owns the children.

prepresh:
and a virgin will marry you who is also a virgin abi

Mindlog:


I guess the Adelekes couldn't afford a lawyer, who could have explained better to them.

talented321:
Some women IQ is very low' and the new husband is another unserious man' he can't tell his glueless wife that such thing can not happen.
And the children i don't know how to describe them.
This nonsense will not even attempt to happen in my tribe' who pride price epp' for my children i have fed for more than 20years.
In igbo land it is not accepted but in yoruba land it is accept' how do we do about that? who will now obey who?'
Some people just dey play for this country''

MrDoGood:


His late son was already bearing his name.

He went to pay after the death of his son.

tctrills:

Are you Igbo? If you are, you clearly don't know the culture. Taking up another family name is not a thing of shame. No one is mocked for it. They would not be the first to be adopted into another family.

Melkizedeck:


This is the height of irresponsibility and outright madness!
This controversial Igbo tradition in this case is flawed and should be done away with, unless it has a clause which allows the original father of the children to still pay the bride price or some kind of damage money to the family of the girl before carrying his kids.
What then happens to all the real father's sacrifices all the years? Don't mind them, the culture should have be more strict on the women in a situation like this. They should have let the woman know any woman that open leg for a man she is not married to should be sacrifice to amadioha. Instead of them to protect their women's virginity till marriage, they are blaming the innocent men they don't know the condition he might met the girl before cohabitating with him
Infact how do you justly deny a biological father who cohabited with a full grown woman and their kids his powers as the rightful owner of his kids just on a mere symbolical pretext of bride price?
Was the woman a kid when she began cohabiting and opening her legs knowing her brideprice hasn't been paid
The woman should even be ashamed of herself!!!

Dreament:
am not Igbo, I can never be. Am a Southerner. We don't practice such useless religion in South south

codemaniacs:


So what is the surname of children born in baby factories?

codemaniacs:


Sowhat is the surname of children born in baby factories?

Mindlog:
From the report they were never married as bride price was never paid. just cohabiting.

In many igbo communities, children of such relationship belong to the woman's family and should she get married to another man, those children will remain with her family of birth while in some igbo communities, the man who eventually pays her bride price becomes the father of those children and bears his name.......ask questions before opting to be a baby daddy.

Mindlog:


And I did say the late son bore his name but couldn't be buried until Davido and his family had to do the necessary, which is marrying Chioma traditionally before their son was buried.

Davido's paternal grandmother was igbo, so Davido's father was very much aware of that tradition.

tunjijones:
But women get mind oooo. Changed the children name to that of her lover.

That's the hight for me.

Jossibest:
This exactly what happen to my late uncle who married Igbo woman from IMO state.
I can't fall in love with Igbo woman.
God forbid bad thing.

tishbite42:

Yep, that's if you want them
If you don't, the children belongs to her family

harveygordon:


Igbo culture is only applicable to igbos. The Yoruba man cannot be subjected to such tradition. The Nigerian law supersedes. If the man was a responsible father, there is absolutely no way he would not get the custody of his children. However, since the children are old enough they can make their own decisions. Case closed.

NovusHomo:


Thank you. Some should probably stop stretching their dik "across the niger".

harveygordon:


You can simply say everyone should live within their respective regions to avoid such. Right?

tctrills:


Boss, you obviously don't know the meaning of religion. Get yourself a dictionary. Again, there is no tribe in the world that is known as South South. In the SS Nigeria, there are over 40 tribes with totally different cultures, religious, and languages. And just so you know, Igbo is one of the 10 biggest tribes in the SS. A little education will go a long way.
