The Imo state Commissioner for Happiness, Mrs Oghechi Ololo, has appealed to men in her State to try to marry two or more women as a way of reducing prostitution and redundancy among Imo state Women.
Speaking in Owerri state capital this morning, Ololo said Imo state has more women than men forcing a lot of unmarried women to commit adultery with other people’s husbands.
The commissioner said according to statistics, out of approximately 3.9 million Imo state indigenes, 3 million are women and only 9 hundred thousand are men.
“I am not forcing you, but just encouraging you to marry two or more wives to reduce on women staying without husbands”, Commissioner Ogechi told a conference of about 14,000 men who were receiving training in various life skills in the commercial capital.
“Our women are crying every day due to lack of men to marry and support them economically hence they engage in prostitution. So please try to work hard and be productive so that you can help our women by marrying two or more wives provided you are able to provide for their basic needs”.
“As government, we shall be giving some small incentives to such men provided you don’t abuse your wives”, said Commissioner Ogechi.
Imo state has the highest level of prostitution in South East among young girls and women who are not in school or formal employment.

First, tell your husband to marry another wife

Now this is ludicrous! misplaced priorities everywhere these days. Stupidity of thought seem to be in fashion nowadays.

Mad woman

Minister of happiness at work! SMH

So this is how she intend to bring happiness to the people

Nne, while you are at it, also advise the women to date more than one man before picking

Brother dey mould statues, sister dey talk trash!
Like brother like sister!

Mtcheeew yeye dey smell

Out of 3.9 million , 3 million are women, 9 million are men Op correct this mistake

so marrying more wives makes one happy, avoids prostitution and redundancy....all these for the imo state men? you tend to forget you are a woman and would you wnt your husband to marryanotherwoman to your home just to be happy like you said.....do your job if at all their is any and remember you will steps down dat you know. .cheers

What she said is the obvious truth. We have more women than men in the world so if every man marries one wife what happens to the remaining women

Small small islamisation is now being appreciated

Her brain is full of relaxer... Hope she get co-wives

Igbo people..........shake my head in sympathy

Time to relocate to IMO state be that. How much be transport fare from here biko?

change begins with you

Fake news. This OP can lie

House of comedy

I pray more wives fall on her husband that is if she's not a widow.

will u keep quiet............

How can commissioner for Happiness made this wrong calculation? Getting married to more than one wife will increase unhappy homes.

You and Rochas no get sense. Keep shaming the people of Imo.

And don't you know that it could lead to unforeseen women scarcity in the future?

How does polygamy translate to development? The core North is deep into more than one wife, what is the score in terms of human capitak development?

Life is way beyond marriage and littering the society with children whose future are not certain because of poverty.

From her statement "Our women are crying every day due to lack of men to marry and support them economically hence they engage in prostitution" reinforces the notion that marriage is a means of economic empowerment for a woman. How can she excuse prostitution on the grounds of being single. Can't her ministry re-orient those prostitutes and empower with economic skills that will make them regard prostitution as a waste of their potentials. Men were not created only to be a suffer head for women.


Being a predominantly Christian area where polygamy is not at par with the Faith coupled with the present economy situation, why should a man be motivated to go shorten his life expectancy?

She should first encourage her husband, her brother the Governor to marry another wife.... that is leadership by example.

I pity imolite

Mrs. Ololo I think what you should be teaching women is that happiness doesn't depend on marriage. Carrier woman can be a single mum and happy. Polygamy is dangerous to the kids, the woman and man. Ask those who have been there.

What happened to creating jobs and empowering d women instead. Our leaders need psychological assessment ah swear!

A hoe will always be a hoe, wheather married or not....
