As much as I Agree with you not all cultures in africa ooo.African cultures are dynamic they are not similar as you think there are some cultures in Africa that respect women and hold them in high regard.Take for example in Ghana and some in eastern and southern Africa where women have high positions.Not all African cultures oppress women.

Rutherford2019: They were victims of tradition not the law. This Supreme court ruling seeks to correct that anomaly by setting a precedence for referencing by similar cases. The constitution supercedes any culture or tradition so it will always be a win win for the female gender that choose to fight this in court. |

BabaRamota1980:I won't be surprised if you have not step a foot in Igbo land but vomiting all these trash. You might even be talking from what you have watched in the movies and taking it for reality. How do you chase someone away from the properties she has its papers intact or are you trying to tell me Igbos will their properties to their brothers instead of their wives. The Fulani supreme court can't decide the way we will our properties here in the east. 3 Likes |

Cheeryfeet:You are not serious? What name or heir can be better than the likes of Putin,Obama and Clinton. Abeg keep your outdated views to yourself.What if the lady refuses to marry or change surname so she cannot be made a heir.How many Nigerian families have life long businesses that have passed from one generation to another that you are here talking rubbish that if a woman inherits a company it goes to her husband does the same not apply to a man also how is it your business?why is the husband a pain to you does she not also have kids also so because of that a woman cannot be an heir you are not serious?does the man not also marry a woman from outside that can inherit it too?or it is your business because it has to do with a woman right.

DexterousOne:I bet that over 95% of Igbo's don't know about it talk more of coming to agree with it. Females inherit properties in Igboland although most fathers are much more reserved when it comes to lands. Only ancestral properties are barred by tradition to be inherited by women and that won't change tomorrow. For some places where women are totally forbidden from inheritance, it is a traditional issues not a legal one. Do you know that eastern region parliament abolished OSU system about 60 yrs ago? But I bet the members themselves wouldn't agree to married osu if they met one afterwards. Which is why its is still practised where it is found today.It is a traditional issue and can't be settled by legal show-offs. 1 Like |

trutharena:Because in Yoruba if a husband had no house when he dies the widom and her children will never be homeless. Family will place them and support. If he has house the family will still support them and make sure they have comfort in their father's house. Yanminri on the other hand will scatter the family their brother left behind. They will chase them out of their brothers house without caring where they go. If the wife herself is young she automatically becomes one of the brothers inheritance. 8 Likes |

MrColdsweat: and so fucking what if she share her husband's wealth. what if her husband dies or don't have any property to inherit. she will get kicked out by her own family because she came from the tribe who gave Adam apple. But a male child can inherit and will to another woman not from the family. isn't that foolishnes?. the tradition is barbaric, egocentric and at the same time stupid of the Igbos for all I care. even if she inherit her father's property, she can will it out all she wants. 7 Likes |
