We grew up sharing clothes, food, and secrets. Now we are in court over a plot of land in the village. He forged documents. I hired a lawyer. Our mother is dying of heartbreak. Our children will never know each other. Inheritance turns angels into animals. Nigerian families are destroyed by land disputes more than any external enemy. Why do we fight dirt more than we honor the dead? Is land worth more than blood? If you have inherited property, did it unite or divide your family?
