A Nigerian journalist, Emmanuel Nnadozie Onwubiko, has stated that his daughter has as much right to his assets just like his first son.

He stated this while talking about sibling rivalry and how some communities deny female children the right to inherit their father's assets.

Nnadozie stated this in a Facebook post on Tuesday, October 3.
 
“Big brother caring for his Sister is the essence of our authentic Africanness. But these days, siblings rivalries have become commonplace over perishable items such as Dad's landed assets and money. We quarrel so much over inheritance and some communities deny the female child the right to inherit her father's assets. For me, my daughter Nneoma Chisom Onwubiko has as much right to inheritance my assets as my first Son Nnadozie NaetoChukwu Onwubiko,” he wrote.
