Proverbs 28:26 says, “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be delivered.”

Siena:


Probably, suggestions are great. However, it's not what you say, but HOW you say it. Your initial response reeked of sheer arrogance and smugness. This was your response:



You're free to question my choice, not tell me what I SHOULD do, based upon your choices. As for your statement "guys like you", that is rude, patronising and presumptuous, even if you knew me personally. Worse seeing as you don't. I know the provisions put in place for my children and wife...you don't.

Creamz:
Some of you saying my wife will be my next of kin. What if something happens to you and she gets married again and she is the type that makes the husband next of kin and something eventually happens to her. Will the children not lose everything? No matter how small the child is its of my own opinion to make the first child nxt of kin. If you have other properties your other children canbe nxt of kin there too

Dannyset:
My wife for sure!

BlaqCoffee109:
...am I supposed to join issue with you based on this? I don't think so, neither have I the time for frivolities...like I said, have it your way..your life,your choices.. I know you not, nor care your choices. Have a wonderful day

Evidence1000:

Should I say that you do not trust your husband?

BlaqCoffee109:
tor! if you abide by the principle of life, you should be safe methinks... +guys are quick to say there there are many b*tches they can wife on a dime.. many fishes in the ocean... here ya go!

BlaqCoffee109:
nobody referred to him as heartless or irresponsible...a handful of good men have done what he's asserted leaving a lacuna for in-laws to question the legitimacy of kids the man and his wife may have had all in th bid to disinherit the kids especially if they are minors. You get my drift?

Your wife should be your next of kin...guys like you are the ones leaving their wives and children out in the cold should anything happen to the man...

Adeboyefa:


As long as he has only one wife, his son will take care of his wife (the son's own mother). But if he has children from several women, he should pay the other women's shares into their bank accounts before making his first son his next of kin, or the other women and their children may suffer after his death.

lolaluv1:
There is a case going on now, where the late guy's entitlements are being dragged by the wife, the brother and the dad. All because the guy used his brother as his next of kin and he didn't update his information after getting married.

The late guy's child who he didn't even get to see has been left in the cold. And the more they tussle, the harder it is accessing the cash. So the wife and kid are really not finding it easy.

I would suggest either wife or child be used as next of kin....

BlaqCoffee109:
thats the crux of the matter.. why would anybody marry persons they don't trust and respect?

Was listening to this programme on air on Saturday. And so many callers called in naming who their next of kin will be with reasons .And there was this hated argument in the circle where I was on who to make your next of kin. This is a very good topical issue, and I decided to bring it to Nairaland, so that we can debate and also get to learn who our next of kin should be with very valid reasons. Will appreciate if the Mod can push it to front page so that this topic can get a wide view.

Siena:


My life, my choices. At least we're in agreement on this, which is all I really care about.

these days, the fishes in the ocean aren't even good for man's consumption. Bad fishes everywhere you look.

ican2020:
My wife is my next of kin, while my first child is my second Know body can love your children more than their mother. A word is enough for wise

NewSheriff:
That's what you implied.


In the case of in-laws, even if you use your wife as next of kin, if they want to bring out their ugly heads, they would. It only requires you, standing on your ground.

The best I can do is to make my wife my next of kin when my first child is still young. When he's grown up, I'll change it and make him my next of kin.

BlaqCoffee109:
mtcheeew..whatever mehn

signified:
My wife.. 1+1=1, The heavenly pronounced pillar of my home, bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh? my mother, my sister whom I also see and hold as my child, someone I have entrusted the family welfare to. My confidant, the secrete of our family success and the reason am being people called father, husband and a family head. Make op ask another person oh!!!

herbie27:

BlaqCoffee109:
