Uba Princess Chidinma has stirred conversations online after publicly stating that her three children should never be taken to their late father’s family home if anything happens to her.
In a Facebook post shared on Tuesday, May 4, 2026, Chidinma explained that her decision was motivated by a desire to protect her children and ensure they grow up in a supportive environment.
“A place that rejects innocent children doesn’t deserve their presence,” she wrote, adding that she wants her sons to be raised where they are “celebrated, not tolerated.”
The widow has previously accused her late husband’s relatives of taking over his properties and abandoning his children despite the support he allegedly gave them while alive.
She also claimed that the family dispute has reached the courts, alleging that her husband’s elder brother argued that she was merely a mistress and not legally married to the deceased.
According to Chidinma, she would prefer her children to be raised by her own siblings, whom she believes would provide a caring and stable environment for them.
Her post has since generated widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians discussing widowhood, inheritance disputes, and the treatment of children after the death of a parent.
“For documentation purposes… I have three beautiful boys. My whole world, my strength, my reason. If tomorrow I am nowhere to be found, let it be clearly known—my children should never be taken to their late father’s house,” she wrote.
“Not out of spite, not out of anger, but out of protection. They are not loved there. And a place without love is not a home. The community has good people, yes. Kind souls who have shown care.
“But his family… they have made their hearts known. A place that rejects innocent children does not deserve their presence.
“My boys will grow under the watchful eyes of my siblings—especially our last born, who knows my heart and will carry this responsibility with love and fear of God. I trust them with everything I have, everything I am.
