Late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu's WILL out!!!
‎
‎June 16, (THEWILL) – A year after the passing of Chief (Engr.) Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the content of his Will has been made public.

The document, released through his Will administrator, Chief Chukwuma Ekomaru (SAN), outlines the careful distribution of the late elder statesman’s assets among his wife, children, and selected beneficiaries.

According to a reliable source, Chief Iwuanyanwu bequeathed his Port Harcourt Road residence in Owerri—fondly referred to as “Legacy House”—to his wife, Lolo Frances.

In the Will, he expressly instructed that the property must never be sold.

Lolo Frances was also handed ownership of Magil Furniture, a business formerly operated by Iwuanyanwu’s late first wife, Eudora.

Additionally, she received shares in various landed properties located in Orji, Works Layout, and Naze—all within Owerri.

Her son inherited his father’s official residence in Abuja.

The family’s London property is to be sold, with 60% of the proceeds set aside for the education of Iwuanyanwu’s last son.

His first son, Jide, is to receive 30% of the sum, while 10% goes to Ezinne, who currently resides in the property, to enable her secure alternative accommodation.

The Will also stipulates that the Glass House near the Orji flyover be placed in a public trust, to be managed by a board of directors for charitable purposes.

Several other properties in Abuja, Imo, and other parts of the country were equitably distributed among his five children, who reportedly expressed joy and gratitude over their late father’s sense of fairness, honour, and compassion.

It was further revealed that 15 additional properties were not included in the final Will. Sources say the elder statesman may have been unable to finalize decisions regarding these assets due to the illness that eventually led to his death.

Interestingly, Chief Iwuanyanwu also included a condition in the Will: that his wife, Lolo Frances, would forfeit all properties willed to her should she choose to remarry.

Efforts to reach Frances and the children for comments proved unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.

Lol
Totally unnecessary though. He can't spend money in death, can he?

Legal luminaries, can this will hold up in a court?

Mrfixitt:
Since she has kids for him then no need to get married again. Enjoy the wealth and take care of your children.

Samantha125:
A kid, not kids... What if she wants to have more children?

SINisSIN:
😁😁Ned Nwoko calling his lawyer right away😀 see format.

Well, if she is smart, she will get all the properties and still remarry if she wants. Smart lawyers will help her.

She'll still get a long term companion who'll probably even move in with her and enjoy all of his wealth.

The only difference between marriage and cohabitation is a piece of paper...😂😂😂

Chances are she'll meet a man whom she'll put in charge of all the assets he's left for her just so the man doesn't feel less important... He'll have access to her finances and everything, which can be quite dangerous... He might eventually come up with a sinister plan to use all those fortunes to secretly buy himself property under his name... Milk her dry and hit the road once he's done...

u are from south Africa so u don't know how things work out here


In Nigeria, we are smarter than that. If u a stranger to tradition can think this way, imagine how well vexed people who have been practicing it for long will think.
