I am not against any girl child from partaken in her fathers properties but it must be done with precautions. A girl child should only benefit from the properties if she is not yet married. A girl child can only partake in the properties if her mother only gave birth to girls. Ever since Nigerian courts gave this judgements there are many scenarios were a girl child is been oppressed by her husbands to sell her fathers properties even without the knowledge of the boy child. Later on the husband flees and dumps the girl child. There are igbo laws even the Nigerian Constitution can not touch and this is one of them. For those of you who think the girl child is not respected in igbo land I pity you, harm her and see if her Umu Nna will let you go scout free. 1 Like |

OILSOUP: Sir, after your death, your daughter can go to court and demand for a share of you properties and she will get it. That is the consequence of a supreme Court judge. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Can my son come to drag property with her in her husband house? My sons wife who is not my flesh and blood has more right over my property than my daughter. Yorubas should talk about things they know and leave us alone. |

I see some Igbo men here are pained by this judgement The thought of sharing their fathers property with their sisters is a horrible thought to some of them lol. As for me tho, I believe both my sisters and I have rights to my father's property, and my father understands that, to God be the glory. Abi dem say culture is dynamic and not static 1 Like |

Young03:My younger sisters inherited o. I drafted my dads will myself before it was taken to the lawyers. I am seriously surprised to learn that there is even a native law against female inheritance. It certainly isnt an igbo wide thing cos i remember when our kindred sold a land belonging to our late great grand mother,and the proceeds shared, so how did my great grand mother come into such large track of land? |

Malawian: Through ur great grand father. Women inherit their husband property. Daughters are not suppose to inherit their father but can receive gift from their father. A gift can be anything from property to land. She moves on to inherit from her husband, which she pass to her sons. |

OILSOUP:It's all the same thing, the issue here being that the woman's dad did not give here a "gift" in his will? Apart from all that, how do you feel good about yourself if you let your sisters fend for themselves without a strong foothold, while you as a man balances to chop inheritance money? |

OILSOUP: But is your legally married wife not reasonably supposed to be your next of kin? At least she will have some right over the ancestral lands that way. But man, you're simply what describes evil, malice and hatred. 2 Likes |

Malawian: Most dad give their daughter a gift on their wedding day or include it in a will. It is a parting gift. It is not mandatory if she is in a comfortable marriage. If she is unmarried or divorced then the elders have to find a settlement for her within the family property. Consideration is given to the circumstances. Most times wen u try to import a foreign element or culture u also import foreign problems. Igbo culture on inheritance is perfect. We dont want our daughters going to clash with our daughter in law over properties. We make it clear that from our son it goes to his wife. The fightin is now between the boys and believe me it is not an easy fight as sometimes they kill each other over property and land. We have removed our daughters from all that ahead of time. U want to change it be prepared to face the new problems that will follow. |

OILSOUP:I see the distinction now between personally acquired property and ancestral lands. It makes a bit of sense sha and my sisters only got from the properties my dad built. Funny thing, all my dad has in the village is yet to be discussed upon. I guess battle line will be drawn soon. |

OILSOUP:Of course am referring to my properties, not ancestral lands even me self won't drag lands with them it's an easy route to death. But any property I worked hard to acquire if she's my only child and her mother is late no one dares drag that with her. 2 Likes |

OILSOUP:My dad gave them this "gift" himself, he directed me on what to assign to each of us, after which he personally took it to his lawyer to do the needful. I have two elder ones so i am in no position to make decisions all by myself. |
Re: Supreme Court Upholds Right Of Female Child To Inherit Properties In Igboland by OILSOUP: 10:12am On Oct 09, 2016 |
Malawian: Dat is igbo customary culture at play perfectly. A father makes provision ahead of time for his daughters. If not the mother can make a gift allocation to her daughters on behalf of the father within proportion and with consideration that she is temporal and unroute to her husband house or if already in husband house. Ultimately, in igbo culture sons inherit their father. Like father, like son.

kishimi8:Thank you Kishimi tell them. That's why am so not marrying an Igbo even though am an Igbo lady as most them are so idiotic most especially those of them that has never crossed Niger bridge in their lives before. Imagine how their male fight over inheritance and against themselves but when it comes to taking care of their deceased brother's orphans and wives they are zero. Only very few of them take such great responsibility. Again there females are the ones who bothers to maintain the so called property they fight over or taking care of their widowed mother more the yeye sons who are after who to kill over a plot of land. Insha Allah my children will not have one stupid igbo uncle to drag properties with them. 3 Likes |
