A Nigerian lady has stirred conversation online after calling out married women who refuse to name their husbands as their next of kin.
In a trending video, she claimed that out of a hundred men, about ninety-eight usually list their wives as next of kin — yet many married women, when purchasing property, choose their siblings instead.
She said, “I thought it was normal until I began to notice this trend. You’re married, your husband uses you as his next of kin, but when it’s your turn, you write your younger brother’s name. Why?”
The lady questioned why some women enter marriage already anticipating negative outcomes, stressing that marriage should be a partnership, not a silent competition.
What shocked her the most, she said, were cases where women allegedly inflate the price of land their husbands are buying — sometimes by as much as ₦2 million — in order to keep the extra money for themselves.
“Some of you will come to the company to say your husband wants to buy land. If the land is ₦6 million, you’ll tell him it’s ₦8 million. Why? It’s not like the man is even wicked to you,” she lamented.
She concluded by advising that having a difficult partner should never be an excuse to do wrong, emphasizing that honesty should remain a core value in marriage.
