Court doesn't show emotion. I really sympathize with her. The real wife was wicked to the man and he had to leave for many years before meeting Helen Prest. They were so much in love and forgot to pursue the divorce with all energy and connection, you know, atimes, we think we would live forever. Nobody ever think of death especially if you are healthy. Helen Prest spent quality time with the man and they did a lot together. She kept him going emotionally and otherwise. She was a backbone of the man cos if you don't have peace in your household, there is no way a man would achieve success in his business. She was strongly available and provided all the support any man could ever wanted from a wife. Shr had children for Dr. Ajayi also, beautiful children.

I think, she would appeal. She should appeal base on property newly acquired after they met and started being spouse even though not legally married. There's still space for ADR if children and the property acquired by the man while being with Helen are considered. I wish her well cos the other woman just want to reap where she didnt sow and likely that was the reason she denied the man divorce. She just stayed and be counting days the man would die so that she can give Helen Wotowoto.......this life sha.....i think its better we men start putting things right before we die...don't think that nobody would give my wife and children trouble when I die. Things happen after death, strange behavior from family and love ones can erupt like atomic bomb. God help menfolk....

blackboy2star:
What do you expect? Separation does not amount to divorce. She should've known better, she had all the time in this world to pressure the man to divorce her but no nah the materialistic ego and love full her head... No emotions or pity in court

delpee:
The man should have bought a property for Helen in her name since he was still legally married to his wife. A will can always be contested.

Because you gave the man money na bah? Or he is plucking the money from tree?

I hope no be the concubine poison him to collobi his estate, golddigger abound.

She has appealed the case already

hush15:
Nobody can challenge a will. If the man willed it, then the will be executed. Simple.

You cannot write a will that cuts your wife off completely, that is not possible sir!

Harddiskng:
In other words, Mrs Ajayi that seperated from Mr Ajayi before his death; went to court to argue the “deceased is my husband” just to claim his estate in death.

Where was the love to get him back to be your husband before his death, i guess we will never find out.

This life ehn



He should have gotten a divorce from Mrs Ajayi then

May people that were never there for us, never taste out of the fruits of our labour when we die 🤲🏽

******************************

Helen Prest had a valid claim but failed cuz she could have gotten better lawyers, Mrs Ajayi case was handled by a SAN, Helen Prest should have done same with the magnitude of what was at stake, hiring from the top law firms in Nigeria (Aluko & Oyebode, Banwo & Ighodalo, Olaniwun Ajayi, Templars etc) would have been money well spent for Helen Prest.

Helen Prest had better appeal and bring an atomic bomb to the battle (eg evidence of Mrs Ajayi infidelity, proof the deceased no longer wanted anything to do with her etc ).

Anyways 3 gbosa to Mr Kunle Adegoke SAN for winning this round. I like good lawyers. Mrs Ajayi was wise enough to hire a SAN, the cunny woman brought a Bazooka to a gun fight

top firms in Lagos and not in Nigeria. Correct urself

Men should be disciplined and learn to sort out their lives inorder not to subject relations loved and unloved to embarrassment, heartache and pain.
No one will remember him with fondness for this.

Clean up guys.

It not about 'Will' once a man approaches an advance stage of his life he should give whatever he desires to will to anyone valuable and important to him immediately especially wife children and others.

Only his legacy estate should be willed.
It's like saying empower me when I have the strength, also love is make the other person self sufficient.

ccollins:
top firms in Lagos and not in Nigeria. Correct urself

Mention better law firms. I'm waiting.
I'm talking about law firms, not the Principals, proper law firms.

ccollins:

Hmm, very good arguable point. I am sorry sir

RecentHistory:
Helen Prest was married to Sammy Davies before jumping to meet Dr. Tosin Ajayi. She had kids with Sammy Davies o.

When Dr. Tosin Ajayi now died, she prepared an obituary poster and put her former husband's children as Dr. Tosin Ajayi's children.

The question is, did you divorce your former husband?
Did this new man marry you in court?

naturally, all women, including my m and sisters are selfish and cunning, even when they appear nice. so this woman put her kids by another man as her late partners kids

What a waste of beauty.
I'm ashamed of Helen Prest! You waste 20 years on a man who didn't wife you?
Taaaaa!

She claims she was married to him without evidence? She is also a lawyer o! What did she learn as a lawyer sef?

I wonder what is wrong with some of these beauty queens, that was how Nike Osinowo yoked herself to a Dr with his practice on Allen Avenue and he was embattled with his own wife.

Why do they shook their heads into marriages with men that are married? Anyway,I'm glad Nike wised up and stopped being the hand bag trophy wife that Dr wanted her to be and left that thing called marriage if not her case for be like this also.

Helen Prest doesn't know the difference with common law partner and civil law partner, for a trained lawyer?

God abeg o!

I hope young girls will learn.

And she go born for this late Dr Ajayi, that child will be so angry eh! I hope the siblings from the first wife consider her sha if not na her mama put her for the condition wey she dey today.

Ladies avoid married men, make una dey hear word o! Any man claiming to be separated from his wife and not fully divorced na bad product o! If Una like go dey cultivate another woman garden, when time reach dem go use insecticide flush you and your shudrenses commot una eyes go clear in old age.

Na their wahala ..na the man no wan rest well .. make them continue to dey disturb am for heaven .. Abeg say something important jare

dominique:
The man actually drew a will where Helen was allocated properties but the court threw it out after the estranged wife challenged it. She claimed Helen was a concubine who made him draft a will that would favour her and children she had for another man. Meanwhile she had been separated from the man years before he and Helen married o. Helen stood by the man till his last days, took care of him as his health failed and the end of the day, she got paid by being referred to a home wrecker. The man did her dirty, she also did herself dirty

If drew a will and legally married helen how did he do her dirty? Did he divorce the estranged wife or just a seperation? Also if the estranged wife had kids and helen didnt any will not recognising his bioligical kids and family will be regarded as done by manipulation and unfaur to his kids.

Helen and the estranged wife should get some of his estate but not as much as his biological kids.

She should have bought or had some properties in her name not trying to inherit his whole estate when he has a family prior to marrying her.

If not married men, who will marry these beauty queens?
Look at Nike Oshinowo, after she left Duro, did you hear about her again?
Without married men, these beauty queens will starve.

Go and check. Most women whose claim to fame is their beauty always end up with married men. Unfortunately in those relationships, the married men hold the aces economically and the women can't leave because of greed.

ashawopikin:
She has appealed the case already

She is currently 67 years I think.
The Supreme Court will decide on it in the next 15 to 20 years.

So she that is a lawyer should have done something even me that isnt lawyer will make sure he has legally married me. Mumu ni girl yii.

OneCandleAway:
The man is w.icked. he purposely did this to herllen because he is too educated to not know how to secure her future properly. I guess it's an indirect apology to his wife for leaving her for a hot side chic. I just hope she was able to amass her own private property, because them living in an hotel for years till he dies isn't a good look.

None of the women love the man in the first place. It was all about his wealth. May God console Helen

Erelu ( older) was her best friend/ socialite friend then for Nike, so no shaking as Dr was in their handbags....Lol..... When she wised up and respected herself, she went to quickly use her frozen eggs to get herself surrogate kids and live peacefully with them.

You have spoken the Truth

Helen priest won chop in two places.she wanted to corner dr ajayi property for her children for previous marriage and she will also inherit from her previous husband also. Where should the 5 biological children of Dr ajayi inherit. This easter belong yo the 5 children of Dr ajayi and the only daughter she had for him.

Let me explain this thing properly. The woman you marry might not take care of you in old age because she is also battling old age too.
The solution. Marry a young wife or your child will have to forfeit their dream in other to take care of you while other children support financially.

There's a reason why Abishag the shunamite was chosen to take care of king David when he was old and not his wife.
Because queens weren't brought up to take care of kings in their vulnerable moments.

Only a servant could do that.

Now the question is after doing all that, bathing him. Cleaning his body after pooing on himself, should she not be compensated for something like that (I'm not saying that's what she did) but I'll tell you it takes love to do something like that.
Something the wife can't do.
Have you ever carried an old man to the toilet before? No.
Only your child or someone that truly loves you can do that.

why grown ups will fight for their father's properties continue to beat me. why not use the energy to build something tht your own children can fight over?

But the man was separated only, not divorced though I heard the separation was for about 25 or more years . But they roll in circles where all these inheritance issues abound so the man really should have divorced his first wife and use his connections to not lose to much to her after all this is Nigeria. At least for the abiolas once you pass the DNA and 'ear test' you are guaranteed something even though kola is greedy. Chief FRA Williams the children are still fighting over inheritance after 21 years of his death and this is from sane mother oooo. Even one child has died the grandchildren carried over the fight. It's just a messy situation and I hope she saved enough for herself because I doubt she can maintain that hole living standard the man has spoilt her with.[/quote]

An educated beauty queen who turned out to become Iyawo saara. Smh.

This is a big lesson to others. The authentic widow knew all along and was using Yoruba sense of meekness to wait strategically.

She should appeal the Judgement. Even within Yoruba culture, she will be recognized because she had a child for him. In Yoruba culture, she is more than a concubine but less than the widow though.

BarrElChapo:
It was a funny thing but I learnt something that day, don’t live your life in such a way that in your death, you’d cause chaos.

^^^
These are words to live by.

RecentHistory:

When Dr. Tosin Ajayi now died, she prepared an obituary poster and put her former husband's children as Dr. Tosin Ajayi's children.

The question is, did you divorce your former husband?
Did this new man marry you in court?

This is madness!

Is this not the same woman one jankara court award her 50% of Dr Ajayi estate?what is kills Dr Ajayi self?

Wickedfacts:
There were allegations that the first son didn't belong to the man. The man married that guy's mother with another man's pregnancy inside her. These came to light when the lawyer was very old.

As at then, the guy was already oppressive of his other "siblings". That's when others got mad that an allegedly "illegitimate" child is opressing them in their own room father's home. Na there fight start.

^^^
Really? I had never heard of this.

The first son passed away some years ago.

Fuckyoumod:
The late Dr did not get his act together. How can you allow a woman that left you for 25 years, never cared for you, even on his dieing bed she never came around, probably having affairs with other men. All of a sudden come back to inherit your estates!

And the woman that cared and stood by you has nothing, big fvck up!
Na fvck up be that na.

The law does not care who spoon-fed him when he was sick or service him but who is legally married to him,whether they see eye to eye or not

dominique:
The case has been ongoing for over 5 years since the doctor passed away in 2020. Helen you did yourself dirty, as a lawyer you should know better. The court will always recognise the legally married wife no matter how long they've been separated.

The couple separate for years without formal divorce is likely an indication that there was no bitterness and acrimony and both didn't have objectives of engaging with another partner at the time. Most likely grew apart and the man left to his ways.

Then Helen came in, quite beautiful young lady who is also married but engaged with the separated Dr. Ajayi. Because at the initial stage, Helen herself was still married, she cannot push the man for divorce and it appeared Ajayi's wife left them at peace. When something is not a pain, most will forget about it. That is what likely happened until the man died.

The presence of a will in favour of Helen and her children appear on the surface to matter and show the intention of the dead man. But the Marriage Act as a statute overrides it. The dead man cannot disinterest the legal wife and children.

Mayflowa:
Yeah, the woman is just vindictive. Helen was not even the cause of her separation from her husband. Helen was just so beautiful that it angered her.

How do you know that?
