The passage explains that the father of Ezebuilo's family died three years ago, and the siblings have gathered to decide onye ga-achikota ihe fere obele (who will manage the remaining property/inheritance). The dispute arises because Agbawodike, one of the siblings, refuses to allow the decision, claiming he is the eldest and should not be questioned.

The root cause of the conflict is therefore the question of inheritance - specifically, who controls the property left behind by their deceased father. This is a matter of ihe nketa (inheritance). The dispute is about the struggle over who gains authority in inheritance matters, which corresponds to Mmeri n'ihe nketa (victory/contention in inheritance).

The passage does not mention money (ego) specifically, house prices (onu ahia ulo), or general greed (ikporo ihe). While Agbawodike's behaviour might seem greedy, the passage frames the dispute as being about the control of inherited property, not greed as a general concept.
