Wrong.
Its supposed to be the immediate younger brother of the late father.

A situation where the late father doesn't have a younger brother, his immediate elder brother should stand. If he doesn't have then his father should stand.

And if his father is dead ?

It's the boys right. Unless he designates someone else.

reiddecuti:
Death is bad. It's one thing you never wish to anyone, not even onto your enemies.



Death forces boys to become men by force, shouldering responsibilities they never attained for.

You sound like a child, make I no wish death for my enemies? Be like say your own enemies na butty sha…I wish the worst for my enemies

There are issues in their extended family.

SoftSport:
Legacy lives on.

The young man assumed leadership at a very tender age. The spirit of your father will back you. All the best young man.

Are there no uncles?

In all you do, make sure you have a son, e get why.

Very stupid tradition from very senseless people why exposing the small boy to such adult act at a very tender age? If am the man marrying the lady I would oblige, this is too nonsense

.. which it can tempt the younger brother of the late father to go into secret love relationship with the later father wife.. nothing konji cannot cause

Chegesnd:
I'm Ibo, what you see here is a manifestation of family feud. The normal thing is for the bride's uncle to stand in for her in the absence of the dad
There is nothing emotional here.
When I did mine, my father in-law was deseased, so my wife's uncle stood in for him.
This scenario depicts family hate, simple.

In the event that the late father in-law happens to be the only male child in his family, what happens then?

You can't criticize when you haven't gotten full info.

I don't think the late father have families because it is wrong for the boy to stand as the father, except they dont have any family on earth

I know a family where all of those you mentioned, including the sole heir, are all dead. My dear friend Leo, may you continue to rest in peace. Allow wetin you see just be.

Igbo culture, women are the best, men are the best it's a s simple as that

I disagree with you. The father's brothers should only be involved if he has no male children.

I guess you know the tradition of the village and family more than them. Every Igbo state have their own. Don't use your own state to think is the same everywhere.
