“Women Just Like Men Have Right To Inherit Any Property In Nigeria”.
No matter the religion, tribe and culture, every woman in Nigeria is entitled to inherit any type property and assets. The place, time, means and conditions surrounding the birth of a woman doesn’t matter. Any religion or custom that says otherwise is illegal, contrary to natural justice and the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria and as such invalid.
See section 42 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and also the Supreme Court judgment in Ukeje V. Ukeje (2014) 11 NWLR (PT. 1418) 384.
