Thanks for this post. However, I will like to point out that culture also plays a part in a father not recognising the female child in the will. This is the norm in some cultures in Nigeria. In other places the first child whether male or female is saddled with the responsibilty of taking care of the others. This sometimes backfires when the individual who is to do the needful becomes greedy. Overall, fathers should do the needful at all times if they do not want to be flogged even in death!!!
