Greatest joke of d century

Appears to have been written with good intention BUT it's definitely open to various interpretations... depending on which side of the family divide you decide to pitch your tent! Well, God bless Nigeria sha.

Power of women. The man no even will give relatives something. Well na him probs be dat.

Queendo: Greatest joke of d century

How?

Ojukwu was only doing the sensible thing by this will. Bianca's children are still young and she needs funds to give them what the older children have already enjoyed from their dad.

He gave the older children quality education, contacts and a name that opens doors. The female children who I suspect are not as well off as the others got properties. The step brothers were sorted, and what he inherited from his mother he passed on to his maternal relatives.In all fairness, those screaming and tearing their clothes over the will are quite inconsiderate.

The world has changed. Gone are the days when the eldest son inherits all their father's wealth and leave their sibling to come begging for help any time it is required.

how can they type a will,cmon mehnn diss bullshit,no wonder dey were having problems.the will should have been hand written.

Now we have seen the will so what? No nairalander's name was included in the will.why una come dey show us? Its high time Ojukwu's spirit be allowed to rest in peace.una too dey provoke the man for here! Hapu unu nwoke mmadu ka o la n'udo!

It ain't over yet, soon another Will wil appear from nowhere claiming 2 b d genuine one.

:-XI am dumbfounded at d moment. Umunyanyi unu ji ihe uto no na etiti ukwu unu eme anyi ihe o. Bottom power at work no form of juju here o. Kia ladies una power too potent I swear. See will na woman just win 80% nawa o

Hmmmmm,i take one eye de read this will oh!

anamachikwanu na akpa ha.

This is lesson to all, once u start buying properties, u start writing ur Will.

Well una don see another will.Bianca na millonaire now..women una get power pass men..see hw almost all ojukwu property go to her ...Bianca no forget me wen u dey chop the money..

Traditionally, so many things are missing in the Will. I pray for them to accept this in good faith.

Can't one make a video will,as in record all he has to say in visual form?
Am tired of this controversial,and contestable wills.


Just my thought sha.

Just my thought sha.

People will still argue it. They would identify him and claim he was under duress or it was videoshopped. The problem is with polygamy.

Yes, this is Ojukwu's will. i have to go through this will to make sure Aisha Hamman Maiduguri wasnt cheated by Bianca's lawyers.

when this man sick, everybody was seeking DONATIONS!
Now he's gone, it seems he was even richer than the
people who donated

Can someone educate me on this rich-man seeking donation thing

needs too

Why that anything that concerns IGBOS is always a Nigeria problem? Nairaland nawaoo......
There was a news i saw on vanguard this morning, I'm still waiting to see it on front page, about fullanis herds men killing and raping woman in Ogun state

Enough of Ojukwu this, Ojukwu that.

blazingtrain: Enough of Ojukwu this, Ojukwu that.

Ugboro abua ka ekwe na akpo dike, O kpoo ya na ndu o kpoo ya n' onwu.

Ojukwu bu dike! Nwoke lusia ogu, umu nwanyi enwere akuko.

you lack reading skills.

This should be a constant reminder to all materialists everywhere... Vanity plus vanity equals vanity... There is no need to kill someone to own a car, a house or whatever you think is important in your life..All that you have today belongs to someone who didn't even know whatever you did to acquire it... And before about 3 generations, they are gone... Be wise, life is temporal. Do not take more than your fill...live and lets live...

May the force be with you on your journey..
