Unconquerable:It is not about the husband and the marriage. It is about the state, and the benefits, legal or otherwise, that accrue from being affiliated to a particular state, ethnicity or locality. I don't really know how best to explain it to you though. |

What is will encourage our naija guys is having kids out of wedlock. This is because I see no reason a man will spend about a million naira paying for a dowry and yet the woman will decide to be an origin of her fathers land. |

Skyfornia:A lot of women suffer prejudice in this form. A married woman who wants to contest election from her place of birth will be told you are married, go to your husband place. While others will be told, you are not from here, go to your father's place and contest. Giving women the right to choose their indigen is the only solution. 2 Likes |

A woman's state of origin does not change. It is usually either her father's or mother's place, not anyone else's and marriage does not change that. So if a woman is hausa and married to Yoruba her state of origin automatically becomes one of the Yoruba states, lol. And what if she divorces ? Then her state of origin reverts back to her maiden state of origin. Confusion everywhere. Unconquerable: |

lielbree:Common in the entire south?? Give one example I just gave you the example of Patricia Etteh and Daisy Danjuma . Also Dieziani was made Minister of Petroleum. Please Stop talking ignorantly. There is nothing like that in Yorubaland. A fundamental difference between the Yoruba and Eboes is that women have EQUAL inheritance rights as their brothers. The only thing they cannot inherit is titles. It is not a good decision because you have not thought out the full implications. First of all WHAT IS THE CURRENT LAW? It is funny how people react without informing themselves properly. The current law does not stop any woman or man from contesting in ANY state in Nigeria whether they are from there or not. What stops them is not law but politics and acceptability. If that is the case what then is the purpose of a law that would create confusion The area where such things are applied may be the civil service and perhaps judiciary. In these situations the law should be gender neutral i.e for PERSONS and SPOUSES rather than women and husbands 3 Likes 1 Share |

Look around, the countries that don't use state of origin are never homogeneous and even if they are they are not native to the lands they currently occupy such as U.S, Canada and Australia. We are multicultural in Nigeria and mostly indigenous to our ancestral lands hence the need for that. amaks: |

That is how it's supposed to be. Your state of origin isn't supposed to be subject to change. That you married into a different tribe doesn't mean you're suddenly descended from there. Marthaodion: 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is not rocket science na. A woman's origin doesn't change just because she is married. So you expect a woman's basic identity to be eroded just because of a ring on her finger? Lol Neocotez: 1 Like |
Re: House Of Rep' Married Women Can Now Choose Their Origin From Father Or Husband by trapQ: 12:35pm On May 10, 2019 |
Exactly, only igbos do that. Infact in my place a woman retains 100% rights as a daughter of the soil even when married to someone from another tribe. She will not denied anything that a man has access to just because she is married. aribisala0: |
