Despite being the first child, Igwe said she and her five sisters were not given any part of the inheritance.
Onyinye Igwe, a Nigerian woman, has challenged a tradition in Southeastern Nigeria.

The woman challenged the tradition of giving parents' inheritance to only male children in parts of southeastern Nigeria, after her brothers took all the property their father left for them.

In her interview with BBC, Igwe said her father died two years ago, and since then, life has become difficult for her even though her father was a relatively wealthy man, who left behind houses, land and money in the bank.

Igwe said her father died without writing a will, so the duty of sharing out his estate went to his children.

Despite being the first child, Igwe said she and her five sisters were not given any part of the inheritance.

According to her, everything went to the three men in the family as is the custom among the Igbo people.

She said, “The men [her brothers] claimed all that our father had.

“They told us [women] that we are going to get married into another person’s home so we don’t have anything from our father. Because that’s the tradition, we didn’t fight with them."

Igwe said she could no longer afford to pursue her university education and now runs a small business selling cooked noodles in Abagana town in southeastern Anambra.

Another woman, Evelyn Onyenokwalu, the first child in a family of four said her only brother, though the last born, inherited the father’s entire estate, including the family house.

She said people had to help beg her brother before he gave her a single room in the family house with an order that she must always leave the door of the room open.

Manchester United must ‘sell Paul Pogba now’ or they will lose him for free, according to the midfielder’s brother Mathias, The Sun reports.

Pogba is in scintillating form and has helped his side to second in the Premier League table.

But reports linking him with the Old Trafford exit door refuse to go away.

In December, Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola revealed the 27-year-old wants to leave Old Trafford for pastures new.

And he later admitted the World Cup winner was more likely to leave in the summer as it’s hard to do ‘top deals’ in January.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer always praises Pogba’s attitude when asked about his future and usually does well to not get drawn into a back-and-forth.

But Pogba’s older brother Mathias, 30 – who plays for Spanish side Racing Murcia – appeared on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito on Tuesday morning and stirred the pot again.


He said: “He has a year left on his contract. I don’t know [if he will stay until then]. I can’t help you right now.

“The only thing I can say is if United want money, they have to sell him now. That’s the only thing I can say. If not, he’ll go for free.

“I haven’t heard anything about him renewing his contract.”

Raiola also labelled Man Utd as ‘greedy’ in December.

But despite the constant talk of an exit, United ace Pogba recently said: “I am on contract, I am here, I am enjoying myself.

“Everybody knows that I have one year left, I’m going to speak with the club and see what’s going on.

“For now, my objective, my goal is to win something. That’s all I’m thinking about is to win.”

Mikel Arteta confirmed Arsenal would consider an appeal against David Luiz’s red card after his game-changing dismissal in the defeat at Wolves.

Luiz was sent off for the third time in Arsenal colours after being adjudged to have committed a last-man challenge in first-half stoppage-time on the Wolves striker Willian Jose by referee Craig Pawson.

Contact appeared to be minimal, but the decision was upheld by VAR Jon Moss and the dismissal was compounded when Ruben Neves converted the resulting penalty to erase Nicolas Pepe’s opener at Molineux.

David Luiz was sent off for the third time in an Arsenal shirt for bringing down Willian Jose .


Joao Moutinho’s stunning second-half effort fired Wolves to a 2-1 victory over the Gunners, who ended the game with nine men after goalkeeper Bernd Leno was sent off for handling the ball outside his area.

The defeat ended Arsenal’s seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and Arteta confirmed the Gunners would consider appealing Luiz’s red card.

“Sitting here, I would say yes, let’s go straight away,” Arteta said. “But we have to speak with legal and the club and make the decision what the best thing to do is.

“I’ve seen the replay 10 times from five different angles, and I cannot see any contact. I would like to see if VAR have different angles.

Riyad Mahrez “isn’t happy” at Manchester City, according to Algeria boss Djamel Belmadi.

Mahrez has featured in 119 games across all competitions for City since completing a £60 million ($82m) move to the Etihad Stadium from Leicester in the summer of 2018.

The 29-year-old has contributed 31 goals and 31 assists to the Blues’ cause while also winning the Premier League and FA Cup, along with the Carabao Cup twice, but has found himself in and out of Pep Guardiola’s starting XI.

The City boss has only started Mahrez in 10 of his team’s 20 top-flight fixtures this season, and he was an unused substitute during their 1-0 win over Sheffield United at the weekend.

Belmadi claims the winger is frustrated with his current situation in Manchester, and is concerned that a lack of regular minutes could end up affecting his ability to perform at international level.

The Algerian is confident that Mahrez can turn his situation around, though, as he told DZ Foot: “Mahrez isn’t happy in Manchester because he doesn’t play often, and he’s a fighter who wants to play all the games for his team.


“I can’t ask him to leave his club to play more in another, I’m not his agent, but the most important thing is for him to keep his fitness and to be ready for the next games of the national team.

“He’s our captain. I understand the fear of the fans, but, in my view, he’s got the ability to bounce back once again. I trust him.”

Mahrez will be available for selection again when City travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley on Wednesday night.

Guardiola’s men can restore their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over arch-rivals Manchester United if they beat the Clarets, who are currently down in 15th.

City are being tipped to win their fifth domestic crown come May after an impressive eight-match winning run, but their manager played down talk of another title before their latest victory.

“One month ago we were not even in the Champions League qualification for next season – now we are the only favourites for the Premier League,” said Guardiola.

“When people say ‘Are you going to win the Premier League?’ I don’t know. I didn’t know it one month ago and I will not know it in one month and, what to expect tomorrow, I don’t know.”
