Our Forefathers that Practised all these started it because they Believed that is the way it should be done ,I do not think in this Generations such Practice should be made Compulsory on us .


In Yoruba Land Culture ,Why are some Cultures and Traditions Cancels or rather not been practised again but some still kept .

Some were Not Practises again because of the Dangers ,Humiliations ,Sorrows and inhumane Realities attached to it.

Abobaku : In Yoruba Land When a King Dies in the Olden Days ,Someone called Abobaku ( Someone who dies with the King ) Would be buried with the King .

At the news of a King in this Present Generation ,Any Abobaku Would take to his Heels and run . Even such is not been Practised any more ..


Supo : Secondly When a Man Dies ,the Immediate brother of the Deceased would be made to Marry the wife of the Deceased. Such Customs and Traditions is mostly not been Practised in Yoruba Land Anymore ..Many Women consider it so Weird.

There are So Many other Customs and Traditions Practised that have been Abolished because of their Nature .

Crowning of Kings : In Yoruba Land When a King goes to meet His Ancestors (Oba Waja) ,I understand that the Departed King Body Parts would be Cooked for New King to eat then the Kind Maker would ask him ,what did you eat ,He replies in Affirmative.. I have just eating King ( Mo Je Oba )

In another one ,I understand that the Skull of the Departed King Would be Removed and be made as a cup for the New King to Drink Water etc .

In Some Communities Many Obas of today do not go into such Fetish..


ORO Festival : In Some Communities, Before a New King is Installed an ORO Festival would be done where An earlier Announcement is made that people should stay indoors ,anyone found outside would be Taken ,Killed and offer for Sacrifice during the New King Installation.

This also are not being practiced in some Communities .

When it comes to Property Sharing

IDI IGI Method of property Sharing is a way of sharing property According to the Number of wives a Man Marries .

A Man that Married Two Wives for Example ,If the first Wife had just one 4 Children and Second Wife has just one Child ,if the Husband has 6 houses for example ,The 6 houses would be shared equally first Wife 4 Children takes 3 Houses ,Second wife One Child takes 3 Houses .

Yet we were made to Understand that Wife does not inherit there husband Properties but the Children.

Under Fairness ,Equity and Justice .


In My Own Opinion ,I do not think our Fore father's Practised which is still adopted in Nigerian Customary Court is Right. I think The Present Generation Law Practicing should Change this.

Most Women that has the Least Children always Bring up this ,There are many Families that have lost people because of this method of Property Sharing .

I do not think Property Sharing should be done by numbers of Wife but Numbers of Children ..Properties are for Children why then Dividing it alongside of wives numbers .

There would Rivalry,Discord ,Discontentment, Fury ,Spiritual Attacks ,Death Records etc among such Family .

The ORI OJORI Method in my own Opinion should be the Order of today's Property Sharing .

I just witnessed a Case of a family that the Idi IGI Method Sharing properties by number of wives in one family in my Area ,The war among Children of the woman with larger numbers and the one with just two Children have become Bloody .

An Elder in the Area Suggested that they could have divided the Property into three Equal part give the woman with Two Children one part and the one with many Children the remaining two parts ..that will be better .

Law is made by Man ,Law Never Made Man .
Law should be fair ,Has Spirit of Equity and Justice

Lawyers in the House what is your Opinion ?/
