I'm not in support of polygamy but our forefathers practised it and all their wives and children lived happily. Their children are well educated and doing well today. My dad is one of them. How they did this successfully and kept their homes still amazes me.

Who told you your forefathers and all their wives and children lived happily in polygamy?!

Ritualistic

What is new here.. most of us, our grand father and even our father has more than one wife

helinues:
He who finds a wife, finds a good thing.

He who finds more than one wife finds troubles

Words on the marble. You are very wise.

He is an urhobo man. So whatever your expectation is kindly lower it.
Nothing is gonna happen trust me. An average urhobo man is capable of marrying 3 women without any problem.

I grew up meeting them. Each woman to her apartment. No quarrels. They always did things together, including buying uniform clothes during festivities. It used to be carnival in those days. What I hear in other homes was quite different and this kept me wondering how our grand dad handled this peacefully and successfully. He was a no nonsenseand successful farmer. He wasn't a Muslim neither was he a Christian. He was just a free thinker... with "live and let live" mentality. Maybe his was one of the rare cases.

My maternal grandfather was a poor man who married five wives out of tradition. They had to take care of themselves and if his food was not ready by a certain time, the offending spouse is liable to be flogged. The wives and their army of children grew up in abject poverty.

polygamy worked because the women were like slaves and had no rights. I saw the failure over and over with my own eyes.

Strong man!

How? Did u know his pocket? Wisdom in handling marriage?

I think it's high time you women should come to terms of going polygamous, though with only man who is capable financial and otherwise

Let me put this to you that there is no amount of money in the world that would be enough to take care of two wives under the same roof as wives. No amount of money.

He who finds a wife, finds a good thing.

He who finds more than one wife finds troubles

One wife: a good thing?
More than one wife: troubles?

Who is brainwashing you guys? Care to tell me why "good things" are killing their husbands while "troubles" are pampering their husbands?

Strong man. When most men can barely cope with one, this baba carry two +2belle at same time.
I can only hope & pray he's fully aware of what he has gotten his hands into.

Just your opinion and belief, you could be wrong for all we know and what we do see around.

Nothing wrong here when all parties are in agreement...


better than one wife, five hidden baby mamas.....

better than on wife, five hidden cheating girlfriends

still better than boys refusing to settle down.

odinson1:
He just Dug his Grave. I wonder how a Sane man living in the 21st century will get married to not one but Two Women and live with them in the same house. He better be as rich as Ned nwoko if not, he's in for a truckload of Problems like Nagging, constant irrelevant billings, rivalries between the 2 wives etc.

Why does he even want to get married to 2 wives though? Why not just get them pregnant and have them as your baby mamas,why live with Trouble in the same house?

on one hand u said he dug his grave then you remember a Ned that's living happily, boom he must be rich comes in. Its clear that marrying one is even a taboo to you from your point so you are more pained that someone decide to marry two. He does not want baby mamas, wetin be your own, how do you know they will be staying in the same house or you are projecting you poverty on everyone?

What's 21st century about getting married and being a polygynist?, is having baba mamas and plenty side chicks what 21st century is about?

You're right cos I've heard lots of similar cases. If you read my earlier post, you'd see where I said I sill wonder how my granddad was able to handle his successfully. None of the children was poor. They were well educated too. My granddad never raised his hands on any of his wives till his death. He died early 90s.

Maternal grand father too had up to 5 wives. His family remains one of the most educated in the whole town till today. He was a popular farmer, trader and industrialist. He had a cluster of those olden days upstairs. When interviewed, he said he loved a large family and he needed people around him to assist him.

No problem now, issue na who first drop male child
