Nigerian social media personality Bobrisky has urged men with multiple wives or children from different women to write a will to prevent family disputes.
LAGOS, NIGERIA — Bobrisky has advised men with large or blended families to make proper arrangements for the distribution of their assets by writing a will. According to a post shared on the social media personality’s Instagram Story, failing to leave a will is unfair and irresponsible because it often creates confusion among family members after a person’s death.
Bobrisky questioned why some men who have multiple wives or children from different women choose not to prepare a legal document that clearly states how their property should be shared. The social media personality said the absence of a will can result in disagreements and prolonged family conflicts over inheritance.
In the Instagram Story, Bobrisky described the failure to write a will as an avoidable mistake that places unnecessary pressure on surviving family members. The post urged men to take responsibility by making clear legal arrangements while they are still alive, especially if they have complex family structures.
Inheritance disputes have remained a recurring issue in Nigeria, particularly after the death of prominent individuals or business owners. Legal practitioners often encourage people to prepare valid wills to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes and to reduce the likelihood of family disagreements or lengthy court cases.
The development means conversations about estate planning and inheritance management may continue to gain attention among Nigerians. Bobrisky’s comments have also renewed public discussion about the importance of writing a will, especially for people with multiple dependants, as a way of promoting clarity and reducing future disputes within families.
