It is no longer news that in some parts of the world, once a lady loses her husband his family members immediately unite to ask the lady for all his properties. They don’t just want to know everything their son or brother has but some take the properties away from the wife.
A lady identified as @nerdy_dami has taken to her Twitter handle to share a story of what her friend’s in-laws did to her immediately her husband died in the hospital. The lady revealed that her in-laws have not been supportive ever since the deceased was hospitalized.
She did not end the story there but further revealed how some members of the family started asking her friend for her husband’s properties two days before he died in the hospital. Adding that his mother said if her she knew her son would die, they would have traveled all the way from the village.

Her post reads: “A friend just lost her husband, her in-laws weren't really supportive when he was in the hospital battling for his life but they turned up 2 days before his demise. Some ugly things they said, I'll share here. Thread! Right there at the hospital, minutes after the man gave up, his older cousin asked the wife (my friend) if there was any property he owned that they didn't know of. Like isn't it too early and insensitive to ask that already? Like that wasn't enough, the deceased younger brother told her thank God you didn't have any children for him, it's better sef’ better how, does he want to take over? I still don't understand the statement, I don't ever! The worst of it all was when they got back to the house and the mum said if they knew he was going to die, they wouldn't have traveled all the way down from the village. Do I need to tell you the guy is Ibo? I just hope they don't force her to go back to the village with them to mourn or something. Person just lose I’m husband, Like the trauma and psychological drain isn't enough I don't understand why they subject the widows to shave their hair, stay in the same room with their dead husband, drink the water used in bathing the dead body. Which kain thing be that ffs. I still don't get the aim of doing all that tho, it's to what end? I just hope this ‘tradition’ is revisited soon, things need to change fr. I forgot to add, they wanted to carry the man's car too. Awon family oshi.”
