According to Tosin, her in‑laws moved into the house she shared with her late husband and immediately began taking his belongings. She claims they have already shared some of his property among themselves and are making plans to sell his car. She was then instructed to pack her personal items and move with her two sons into a single room in another section of the compound.
A video trending online shows Tosin in a heated confrontation with her father‑in‑law. In the clip, she repeatedly cries out in Yoruba, “E ni mi lara! E ni mi lara!” meaning “You are all disturbing me!” She later switches to English, saying: “They were not even supposed to do anything to me. They started beating me. I am weak. I am hungry. I am tired…”
Another video shows a man alleged to be her father‑in‑law locking the gate.
Tosin is now appealing to well‑meaning Nigerians for help, saying she fears for her safety and that of her two young sons as she mourns her husband and faces an uncertain future:
Some people with their wicked and evil heart..
ReplyDeleteSome people can be mean
Reading this breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteDo families still do this in modern-day Nigeria?
Sometimes I also blame the men.
As a man, while you’re alive, make strong provisions for your wife and children. Because in your absence, without proper legal backing, they can lose everything.
What do I mean by "good provisions"?
1. Put your wife and children on your properties.
2. Make them co-owners, not just beneficiaries.
3. Make them shareholders too.
Statistically, men leave before their wives. So their protection must be put in place while you’re alive.
Otherwise we keep exposing them to vulnerability from siblings and parents.
