SmellingAnus:
do you mind sharing what it is

The odd thing is...it's only a man with millions or billions in his bank account reasons to put down a will...and we have few of them...but, those who do actually have.

Na who get money dey write will na.

If you get will
Life insurance
And a lot of enlarged pictures of you

You dey find watin no find you be that lol

When a wife suddenly wakes up and ask the husband if he wrote a will then he should be suspicious of her cos she will stop at nothing till she knows the will favours her and after that she might feel the husband has outlive his existence...

bros this ya moniker sef ...are you in any way related to Denrele?...BTW Nollywood has effectively made Will writing an ominous routine and any requests for same will be treated worse than asking for Babas WAEC kpali...All the same, every right thinking individual should have a last will and testament...my grandmother was illiterate (book reading wise) but she had one.

SMELLYANUS LMSAO!!!

hahahah I agree with you bro... As for my moniker, it's partly for comic relief

Na who get money dey write will na.

hahaha if you a plot of land, death entitlements, shares or other properties too, you could write will don't be surprised people may even fight for that property that may not worth millions like kekenapep etc

Very true in this part of the world.
But don't forget a man has to pay his lawyer for the services...Nigerian men are just too careful.

yetseyi:


Lool, its okay oo.
Why marry someone who can kill you because of posessions ?

it's not written on the face of a potential husband killer that she is one

It is irrational and irresponsible to have children, assets and no will.

All you are doing is creating problems for the future.

IhateYorubafool:
Just put it like this
"Your village uneducated men are scared of having a will"
Even in the 60's you will hear stories like "His dead father didn't will any of his properties to his son because the son is hotheaded and useless

I grew up in the 90's and all the Nigerian men i know do have wills, even those in the remote part of Nigeria (except the Hausa men)

I haven't seen or heard of any Nigerian man that died without willing his properties to his relations, wife and sons

This is not 1856, it's 2016

I have an advice for you
Stop doing drugs, it's affecting your mentality

I will reply you politely because I don't know your struggles... When you look at the topic again you will understand that it's a question and not a conclusion.... Thanks bro...

If you love ur children better write ur will on time,,,whether the kids become lazy or not dont matter,,,it will be very painful and pointless that when you die,one useless brother of yours and relative will claim ur property,and ur kids automatically will turn beggars,,,,, ,,writing will is wisdom and preparing for the unforseen and same time securing ur kids future,,, no one prays for death buts its inevitable,,, men should stop believing in tradition s,,we re in 21st century

in my own case everything we own as couple, is contributory and our properties were bought with d children names so we don't have needs for that. but it's always advisable to prepare for any eventuality.

yea but people have lawyers for different reasons, I heard of a billionaire that has an only son and daughters from a different woman, the dad was gravely ill and all the son could do was to go and secure his dad's properties because he thought the dad will not make it alive, the day finally recovered and heard of what happened and decided to write his will... (this happened in Rivers State)...

Angelofdarkness:
It's pretty obvious Nigerian men are scared of having a will even when such will is to protect their wives and kids incase of sudden demise...

Na husband dey die?

Women should also think of having a will especially if you own property, no matter your marital status

babyfaceafrica:
Am sure Nigeria men arenot scared of writing a will,what they won't do mostly is to share the contents of their will with their wife for obvious reasons?.....a woman should only ask for the contents of a husband will when she also shows the husband about her will also?..or don't women have wills to?....if you want openness,you do so by being open!!..that said all sane main should from when they start owning possessions draft a will which will include all member of their family.They are not under any obligation to share details of it.For me the best will I will give my family is what I can give them when am alive...education,shares and the likes,when am gone ...anything can happen...May God spare our lifes more on earth

Amin.. well said bro...

It must be an !kwerre boy.

frinx:
Will to an Nigerian is like planning on dying soon.

It has not been a norm in Nigeria. Only Few educated elites and those that had stayed abroad awhile really write a procedure of how their estate should be shared.

I like your sincerity on this issue

cyprus000:

Plan on creating a 'special will' for my woman(whether we have kid or not), but everything will change if she ask me question on anything 'will.'

It always comes with a sinister motive

[/size]

hahahahha I kind of agree with you bro...

seunny4lif:
Will ke
Even at the age of 70 is a NO to Nigerians

hahahah funny you Sir... But it's partially true at least

A will is nt so important to m because we do things jointly in our names. As for access to a partner's financial accounts,if d spouses v each other's ATM passwords then i dont nid to go into d bank to access funds. Long life together is wat i pray for. We r each other's next-of-kin n in case of eventuality,my spouse will take everything i v cos we belong to each other.

Na 4 film naija men dey get will nah..

Berbierklaus:

It is insensitive to suddenly wakeup and ask your husband to write a WILL,but then it is common sense for a man who loves his partner to be prepared for any eventualities,just like the case of the pastor's wife who was ejected just few.days after her husband's burial,it is adviceable for the benefactor of the family(who most times is the man) to put things in place...



Smellyanus how will you feel if I wake you up in the middle of the night and ask you to write your will

woman no dey write will? Have you wroted your own?

What stop my wife from writing her own Will too?

It amazes me when I hear about how some women expect their husband to have a life insurance. Despicable!!! What stop my wife from having a life insurance too? Nobody knows his/her last day on earth, she might even die before me.

haha haha very funny but there is truth in this

idu1:
Na husband dey die?

anybody can die first but most times we know that the men die before their wives

It's never a good idea for your partner to know the content of your will, no matter how you love him/her.

Why is it that it'z only men that write will,i never see a woman do so once........,why

as humans, death is inevitable. someday we will all die.

preparing a will is what most people will see as an invitation to death but it is not so. it is a way of organising your affairs after ones demise so that things still stay the way it is, more like putting your house in order.

sadly, most people think otherwise once will is mentioned.

Women too should write wills

These are not enough ma. What if the ATM card expires? How does the person alive claim his/her spouse's money? What of pension savings? Next of kin does not automatically confer the rights of beneficiary to a person. Next of kin simply means who to call if they can't reach you.
We made www.proxywill.com to serve as an alternative to the legal will. It is still best to have a will and use proxywill as an archive for it.
Note: you can self write your will with or without the assistance of a lawyer.
