The reason why I'm asking is 'cause in Igbo culture, things are done differently.

A married woman cannot keep an ancestral property from her father's family.

You dey read?

Nothing for you. You better pray hard for Nigeria not to part away from ibo.

Ibo will treat their women like the Afghanistan.

Mariangeles:


In Igbo land, we try to avoid confusion like the one op and his father are caught up in.
Everything is done orderly.
A man's inheritance belong to his wife as well.

Bridget95,


See ...you dey read? You papa gave you property...the man is claiming it as his.

You are worthless there. Yet,.those greedy men are the ones you still dey follow like this?

You like being cheated....walahi.

Oga, your father has the number one right over his wife property anyway. Unless she's willed them to you. If it's not, then forget it. The extended family cautioned him not to sell it, they didn't say he cant. That's according to your story. Speak with your dad, make peace with him. I know you ma want the inheritance of

GraciousGod190:


Do you read at all?
They said I as a son can't even sell those land, talkless my father.

What does that mean to you?

He doesn't own any property there, according to our tradition.
In-law has no right whatsoever to decide his wife inheritance... except the children.

after your he fathered you, put you through school, you still de eye him wife property right?

[quote author=GraciousGod190 post=112055938]
Scared you say, keep the abuse coming like the other time.

So I should allow him to sell my mother's ancestral home for cheap cash... just like that. Then tommorow when my children ask me to take them where they are from, I won't have a roof to shoe them.
Funny set of individuals we have on this site.[/quote

For someone talking of traditions, you should know you ain't really from your mothers' rather your dads family

Efewestern:


The Father has no single right over such property. The moment he makes any funny move, the properties will be seized by the woman's family in collaboration with the OP.

These are inhiritance not something built during the course of their marriage. Only a direct offspring like the OP has legitimate claim to theses lands and properties.

Had OP's mother never given birth, the woman's family will repossess those properties.

GraciousGod190 kudos for standing up. May God give you more wisdom.

Forget that guy make him de claim know know.
The OP father wants make them tell am him story.
He wants to claim another family's property.

2 useless grown men fighting over a woman's properties.

Maybe you both should work harder to acquire yours instead of reporting & disgracing yourselves.

Like Father... Like Son.

" I reported and disgraced my dad over my mother's father's property. "

thebosstrevor1:


Vindicated, how?

How is a property passed from generation to generation on the mother side becomes father's property.

Do you know the law?

What name do you think is in the land documents

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:


No sir, marriage does not automatically give someone right to a property.

Any name that is written on the land document owns the property

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:


I am so impressed with the steps you took.

I also do not believe that properties and lands should be sold, properties are suppose to be passed down from generation to generation and rent from these properties should be used to sustain the family.

Properties are assets that can never be recovered once it is gone.

thebosstrevor1:


What you have written, does it make sense?

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:



You are busy writing legally and i told you what legally occurs.

In Nigerian law, if a woman or a man owns a property before the marriage, the law treats it as a seperate entity. In this case, the property isn't owned by the man legally even of it is not willed.

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:


It has nothing to do with willed or legally married.

This was a property gotten before the marriage. The father does not have any right to it.

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:


The offsprings owns it.

[/s]

[s]

thebosstrevor1:


We are talking A, you wrote down B

You just copy and paste from the internet without understanding

The law is simple, any property a woman own before marriage, the husband does not own it

TheNiceGuy:
All these has been explained in Islam even before your great great grandfather was birthed.

That's if you are a Muslim.

Your mum inheritance is her properties {personal property}, your Dad has some portion accrue to him and you as son has more than him with your siblings.

[/s]

OP I can't read this us less episode based on the fact that you and your father are lazy and spoilt people. Can't your father or your self work hard to get your own properties ? Instead two of you are fighting over properties left by a woman. Shameless father and son. By law your father owns part of the properties because he got married to your mother and you being the son you can have some but it depends if your late mother make a will before she died or if she died enstate (without a will) you and your father have to work it or amicably.

Well with this scenario, I am afraid that your father is not under any obligation to bequit you any property.

PeaceJoyLove:

Reading all the abuses I got from nairaland, from fellow nairalanders calling me a bastard, ungrateful son all because I was fighting for what was right and not material things.

My mom before she left us, the properties were passed down to her from her parents,(which some they inherited from their Grandparents) she didn't really have to do nothing a full time house wife.. because only the house rents alone she receives from tenants a year from different buildings kept her okay.... some were used for my education, I was made to understand here on nairaland that those properties belong more to my dad, so he can sell it out any way he deem fit... since he married her,. Even though they are ancestral properties.


But, I still don't agree....


So I reported my father to the most senior man in my mother's kindreds, from her father side. I went there on Saturday evening and narrated everything to him...the first thing he said was


YOUR FATHER NOR FIT (in our native language)

He was so angry that he had to call another man and told him everything on the phone, I went back to my house..... and got a call Sunday afternoon to come back around, to my surprise I saw my father there with lots of extended family members and they gave him a stern warning not to try anything funny with those lands.

That our trybe don't sell family lands, house.. inherited property.. that what even gave him the right to think about doing something like that in law for that matter... while my mom has a son...they even said I as the son can't even sell those lands talkless my father.

They ask him, if it was financial issue that gave him that thinking, at first he wanted to deny about selling before he admitted it...my father is not poor, a retired nnpc staff receiving his pension steadily.....he just likes having a lot of money to spend anyhow.... and seeing those lands available he thought he could sell them... but the family proved him wrong and there's nothing he can do about it.

I haven't called my mother kindreds from my my mother side, still observing.. while we Left the meeting, my dad was cold all through..I know he must have narrated to some of his educated friends..let's see if he will take this to court.

This doesn't have nothing to do with me again, but with my mothers kindreds.

If there's no will, then your father is legally entitled to some of your mother's properties and if you are Muslim he is equally entitled to some of the properties.

Owologbo:

As far as we they concern, he no get any say for the woman town.

Leave all those ones when they quote law. Make them marry our sisters make them try this nonsense. Na otapiapia we go use for them.

Lol

From your write up the woman didn't inherited the properties she was only managing the properties and so it doesn't belong to her legally and in your place no inheritance as far as ancestral properties are concern only managing it and that can be transferred to blood relatives only. Right or Wrong?

allcomage:

No culture is 100% perfect but in Igboland, if innoson gifts his plastic factory to his daughter and his daughter marries an ogbomosho man .That factory in enugu automatically belongs to segun if she dies without a will even if she bore children for segun and segun can come from ogbomosho ,sell the factory 2b and pocket the money without any disturbances.

Wow..interesting..

immortalcrown:
I have been vindicated once again. The kindred only cautioned your father not to sell the property because the kindred's tradition does not permit the selling of such property. But the kindred did not say you have more right than your father over the property.

Your argument was the property is your right. I told you your father owns the property. I said he owns the property despite the fact that his attempt to sell the property is bad. Fools disagreed with me.

Our major argument was about who between you and your father has more right over the property. You claimed you have more rights over the property. Now, your kindred does not support that claim of yours. Your kindred only condemned the idea of selling the property. And I myself also condemned the idea of selling the property.

I won't say you are right neither will I say you are wrong on who has more right to the properties, but I ask what is the essence of a car that I have the key and parked in my house but I still have to be given permission for me to drive it. It simply means I am not the sole owner of such car, we plenty wey own the car.

She inherited the properties but can't pass it to non-blood relatives. Only her offsprings can make use of the land. Her husband is a nobody as far as we are concerned.

Let me give you an example.

I have an aunt that died a long time ago. Her inheritance in my hometown were repossessed by my family. She had no kids and in the absence of no kids, the family takes over.

She can sell those properties if she wanted or her kids can, but not inlaws. He simply has no say or link to these properties. A total stranger.

So prettychild if the op is a brilliant kid taking 1st position from primary 1 to having A's in school cert and he wants to study medicine in the university and the father cannot afford shool fees, so the father cannot sell the wife's property to train such a brainy boy? So the property should be left and the boy should go and join agboros on the roads or omoniles?

That’s the law.
