Love That Protects. Memories That Last

Maya used to think love came wrapped in ribbons and roses. Until the night she found Femi at the dining table, laptop open, doing something she'd never seen before
It was a rainy Thursday evening in February, and their two children were asleep. Leaning against the door, Maya kept staring at the screen with the FCMB Trustees logo

'What's that?' she asked.

He looked up, and something in his expression, serious but gentle made her walk closer. Femi exhaled slowly. 'I've been thinking about us. About Timi and Zara. If something happens to me or to both of us what happens to them? What happens to you?’

Maya's throat tightened. She'd never heard him talk like this.

'I am reaching out to FCMB Trustees,' he continued. 'to set up a living trust that’ll cover everything. If anything happens, there'll be no confusion. There’ll be no disputes.'

He reached for her hand. 'I know we don't like thinking about it. But love isn't just what I do when I'm here. It's what I leave behind to protect you when I'm not.

Maya remembered how her mother struggled after her father died and relatives took everything. She had promised herself her own children would never face that. So, watching Femi take the first steps to secure their future filled her with quiet admiration. She sat beside him, realizing that love isn’t only in grand gestures.

It's in thoughtful actions that protect the people you care about and prevent the pain she once witnessed. This was love in a language she was just learning to understand

Later that week, as they laughed and shared stories with their children about dreams, hopes, and family traditions, Maya felt a quiet pride. She was confident that the small steps her husband had taken guaranteed them a future filled with security, love, and cherished memories: a legacy that her children would carry forward.

Femi and Maya's story isn't unique, but their ending could be.

Too many Nigerian families face chaos after loss: family disputes, children's futures uncertain. Not because there wasn't love. But because there wasn't a plan.
