coderXO:. I am not of that mentality that what I earn is only mine..and what he earns is for us! I met this dude, 1year after he started working. That's when we started dating. Its from then we started building our lives. That's is why I can boldly say that 60percent of what's in our home now, I contributed to it cos d other 40percnt is what he had before we started dating. 80percent of his clothes even up till now are gifts from me. Even when we decided to get married, our wedding was contributory funds too!! Am not mincing words here...but he can't say same about me cos I understand he is not really good at giving gifts and am not compalining either. My only disappointment is that he decides to make his brother a beneficiary of things I shared in other than me because we don't Ђåvε̲ a child yet! 2 Likes |

People saying the man is right for using his brother as next of kin amaze me. What happened to trust in marriages? The wife should be his next of kin and she should be entrusted to take care of his kids if anything happens to him not his brother or family. Once you marry you and your wife become one and not this one leg in and one leg out that seems to be practised. If he doesn't trust his wife enough to make her next of kin and vice verse then maybe the relationship should be evaluated. It intrigues me when you see family members fighting a woman over her husbands wealth and assets or taking the kids simply because they can bully her or they are more influential. It is wrong. 4 Likes |

Your husband is not right in his decision in having his brother as his next of kin.Even if he did that before he got married, he was supposed to have changed it or notified you of the issue.I believe that the marriage is based on false information.There must even be more to his person as you might end of knowing that the marriage is based on deceit. I knew a lady who also was a victim of this same issue whereby all the landed property he had, even his bank account, he used his brother as the Next of Kin. When the wife stumbled into seeing the documents, she confronted her husband and the man responded that it does not matter.He was annoyed with his wife that she want to destroy his relationship with his brothers. All of a sudden, after about 3 months the wife confronted him, he traveled and fall ill and he never made it and died.The brothers now came after the property that it was a family project they had. She was saddled with the responsibility of training the children and her brother in laws never want to help take care of the children.All they were after was the property left behind by their late brother. |

peedeeasobie: Leave the single ladies alone. Is it the single ladies that asked Op's husband to exclude her as his next of kin and exclude her from his will? Even if there are no single ladies in Nigeria, you miserable married folks will still find a way to blame Nigerian single ladies. Leave them alone please you sadist and underachiever! 5 Likes |

Lol. Women and their innate sense of entitlement. Why should you be? Next of kin is dependent on who you can trust the most, and perhaps you've not done enough to earn his trust. Or maybe, you have betrayed his trust in the past, and he sees no reason why you should be included. The current consciousness of the planet is about individualism, and all "man" for himself. You're just a mere appendage, till you can prove beyond reasonable doubt than you can earn his trust. Smart husband right there, and blood is always thicker than water. If I were in his shoes: I'd put any of my sisters on the form. I trust those beautiful women with my life. Get ya own shiit, don't trouble the smart guy, and enjoy ya marriage. Marriage is a partnership these days - more of a business, and level of trust is dependent on what's at stake. Women in relationships/marriages aren't loyal, and trusting them with ya possessions is like auctioning ya life to the lowest bidder. |

BritneyStacy: Madam, Open a savings account in your name only and start saving. You are not married to a white man or a man from the western world. You are married to a Nigerian-bred man who can wake up one morning and dump you at anytime. Some Nigerian men will dump you if you don't have a male child for them. Some will dump you even after you have had male and female children for them. Nigeria is a terribly chauvinist and misogynist society. This is why paedophilia is also very prevalent in this society. The average Nigerian-bred man does NOT know how to genuinely love a woman. Some have been known to kill their wives if their wives happen to be making more money than them and then they run off to marry a young girl in her late teens or early twenties. So, be wise. The average Nigerian woman is not enjoying her life in Nigeria and that is the truth because the laws favour men and not women. Plan your life in such a way that you won't be at the receiving end of any mistrust in your marriage. Good luck! 10 Likes 1 Share |

BritneyStacy: How long have you been married? The next of kin in the document was filled before or after you were married? ----updated----- ....nevermind. I see that you are newly married. See even though you are his wife, your bond with him is still new. As time goes on, you will be the most important person in his life. It ought to be already be his mindset. But some of us aren't so experienced with these things. 3,4,5,7,20 years down the line, you will be everything to him. If his mindset was programmed to see you as that, it will happen very fast. It obviously is not. Just go about your life and don't worry too much about this matter. You guys are just starting out. This doesn't stop you from saving some money on your own. Do you part and be a good wife. Have a light-hearted discussion with him about it. Not asking him if he writes you as his "next of kin," but suggesting he is the most important person in your life. Are you his? You get my drift? You'll be fine. 1 Like |

I don't get this statement at all? Why would the children be next of kin when your wife should be your partner? The husband and wife are one and there should be transparency and trust between both hence the wife should be husband's next of kin and vice versa. in the event the husband is no more the wife is the one who will look after the kinds until they are adults. Your statement just sounds like your wife is a pest or gold digger or something... "why would a sensible man make is wife his next of kin" kendrick9: 3 Likes |

Justfollowit:i must admit you have raised a possible scenario but would you then say that her hubby's reason for omitting his legitimate wife from his will is bore out of wickedness? Or would you say his siblings are influencing his decisions?.........if wickedness,why 'practising' it on his wife not brothers? and if external influence is the cause,shouldn't the wife be a man's closest confidant. ? If her conscience is clear in terms of her r/ship with her hubby,then its best to confront him,whether unsatisfactory or not,its then best she changes her approach towards money in her family |

dasparrow: Shiite, the current crop of Nigerian females isn't particularly promising either. Greedy, brainless, superficial putting it mildly. While you are working making money to build yourself and acquire assets, she is using her own salary to buy face powder and 150k Brazillian hair and 100k gucci bag. Then she wants to be half owner of what you own. Shiite. Mtschew. God help you not marry a fool. |

BritneyStacy: Who is your next of kin ? I do not support your husband's actions with the fact that you have contributed financially to the family's possessions , even be it a little bit. I suggest you confront your husband about what you discovered and tell him what the implications of his actions may lead to , be very careful how you table this as some men might think you're only after his possessions and that you may try to off him soonest. I hope the wisdom and understanding to table this comes to you soon 1 Like |

dasparrow: My dear, I'm not married yet. Before you proffer 'dangerous suggestions' to a married person, you must understand the peculiarities of each marriage. Every union is unique and should be treated as such. You can't give a blanket advice based on how you feel. 'sadist and underachiever' really? Is that what you are going with? Someone that spews insults like this, most likely comes from a 'hateful' background. I understand. |

@britneysstacy,it really hurts to see such from the one u sacrificed everything for. I'm happy u are not idle. Even though u r not idle,yet I can see the attack some folks that don't know what marriage is all about are throwing ur way. Don't stress it cos he won't listen. Let ur action henceforth show him that u are a human and needed to be treated so. So I suggest u start afresh but this time have some secret he won't be aware of. Not all cos it may cos squabble in ur home. As per next of kin issue, look for a trustworth person and make him or her. U can change that later.m Note: u can state that u want that particular person to handle ur affairs until the children are of age. How u want the person to handle it bla bla bla. It is well. Ur hubby didn't do well. It's d degenerated society we find ourselves in. Singles, do take note. 2 Likes |
