He wondered why women are deprived from sharing in the inheritance of their families.
Wike further noted that in some families, women are the most useful members in comparison to most male children. He, therefore, said it is irrational for them to be excluded while sharing family properties.
“I don’t know why it’s a taboo; because you’re a girl, because of this is a woman, you’re not entitled to inherit what belongs to your father.
“It is not you who decides whether you will have a girl or you’ll have a boy, it is God. So, put yourself in their shoes today where, by the mercy of God you have three children and they’re all girls. And you struggle in life to see what you can keep for your children.
“Tomorrow, one of their uncles comes, and say, my friend, girls don’t inherit their father’s property. With all your efforts in life, somebody comes to discriminate against them, why? . We have even found out that women are more useful to us then even the men.
“The day, you’re getting old and dying you’ll know that you need more daughters than men. They will leave their husbands’ house and come to take care of you.”
The Rivers State Governor also asked women to stand up for their rights and challenge any discrimination against them in court, via the law.
