Lady rejoices as father loses land he refused to give her ‘for being a woman’

A young Nigerian lady celebrates her father’s loss of land to thieves after he had vowed not to hand it to her because of her gender.

In a viral tweet, the lady with the username @uxcynn on X (formerly Twitter) expressed joy after her father lost ownership of a piece of land.

She said he had previously refused to pass it down to her because she is a woman; a reason that hurt the lady ever since.

“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 quickly went viral, sparking conversations around gender bias in inheritance and property rights, particularly within certain cultural contexts.

Many users supported her reaction, seeing it as a moment of poetic justice, while others weighed in on traditional attitudes toward inheritance.

Reacting, a social media user, @Chimaizuobi stated, “I’d rather my siblings have it than a stranger though, but it’s all love.”

Another user @obiokeke_ stated, “I remembered when an uncle with a daughter told me my late mum was not supposed to do so much to get a part of her father’s land. i asked if i could help him chase his daughter from whatever he leaves behind after his demise, he said i was rude.”
