I agree with those stating the importance of wills, trusts, and specifics of what a family should do in the event that a spouse/parent is no longer alive. If these can be joint decisions involving spouses and children, all the better.

I have seen many women who lived a life of luxury in Kenya leave to go work as nurse aids in the US when their husbands die. Some of these women learned after the fact that their lifestyle was financed by loans that used their husbands badly managed businesses, land and houses etc as collateral. The husbands never saw the need to inform their spouses and the women never asked

Very sad...and a bit retarded in a modern day world...

I have been dating a kikuyu for 2 yrs now, we hold a 7 figure joint account but she very much don't care about it since she also make her own money. I am a Kalenjin and the last time I took her up country my grandfather made sure he pulled me a side and warned me about her, the old man is actually seriously concerned!

I tried to explain to him that she actually grew up in the west and she is only half Kikuyu and she can't even communicate in Kikuyu but the old man wasn't having that, he said she is still a kikuyu regardless.

Please consider our ribs!

There is a difference between Kikuyus as a community and Kikuyus as individual Just like there are differences between Kalenjins as a community and Kalenjins as individual.

People who have built relationships in individual level do not even realize the tribal differences infact the only fear people have is the fear of unknown. I might not like Kikuyus as a community and that is driven by fear of 15 million people that I have been told they are bad people but when it come to individual level they are just ordinary families.

7 figure? that is like KSK 1 M-9m right? About half of that is her money and about half is mine.

Well,it's not a matter of being afraid or lack of trust, its just not wise...

Same reason as to why the logbook of your wife's car bears your name, and not hers.
