A young Nigerian lady is happy after her father lost his land to thieves. He had refused to give it to her because she is a girl.
In a tweet that gained a lot of attention, the lady, @uxcynn on X (formerly Twitter), shared her feelings about the loss.
She explained that her father’s choice not to pass the land to her because of her gender had hurt her deeply.
“The land my father said he would never give me cos I’m a woman, they don thief am from him hand. Thank you Jesus babydoll Igbo man think say he sharp, lmaoo,” she wrote.
The post spread rapidly, leading to discussions about gender bias in inheritance and property rights, especially in specific cultural settings.
Many people backed her response, viewing it as a form of poetic justice, while others shared their thoughts on traditional views of inheritance.
