You are ignorant Ignoramus with stupid and misleading statistics, go and check population of male to female in the world, nonsense!

Read and research more , don't you know that there are more baby boys at birth in human?


IconicR

Are you juxtaposing male/female birth ratio with male/female ratio in population ?

Even though you birth ratio figure is not correct, birth ratio does not translate to population ratio

I don't even understand the aggressiveness with which women peddles false narratives and half baked truth

Female are more that male in population...
Population of Female of marriageable age is more than the population of male of marriageable age ( famale mature faster)
Population of Rich male is more than the population of rich female


If I can help you with the factor of the statistics especially as it relate to probable relationship between male and female

You are an ignorant and and misleading,

There are more boys born at birth in human population and biology, the only area there are more females is in elderly range upward but that range is more or less insignificant because the population is more from say 16 to 55 years old , productive ages.

there are more males in the world, ignorants and religious "dogmacentric"ones should know that..

Why then is the population of females far more than the males

Is that in your household or you are just speaking out of ignorance , go to hospitals and go and read more, you this religious dogmatic ones don't like to study.

There are more males in the world, because human beings produce more boys naturally.

Next time you want to quote me, make sure you come with facts instead of ignorance

Men are more than women in the world

Men are more than women in Nigeria

Now if Men are more than women, marriageable age of men will be more than that of women, this is basic common sense,

Note that marriageable age is different from wanting to get married because statistics says that men are more willing to marry and stay in marriage than women, that's why men do 99.9999% of the proposing than women(again, common sense) while women mostly initiates divorce and opt out of marriages, an example of this thorough research is China because they are the 2nd highest population with the highest ratio of men to women ( I intentionally did a little research this night on this facts to negate your baseless comment) so digest this basic fact and rest.

You are the most idiotic person, what is definition of population of an area !? The total number of people within a given area.

From age 0 till infinity,. i.e number of people of all ages.

So get that to your ignorant head , population involves all ages.

What you should say is adult population which is tertiary sex ratio, okay?

You be mumu , if you don't know already that there are more baby boys at birth , human sex ratio favours male children naturally, go and and read and visit your hospitals and get your birth data.

All these ignoramus religious bastards! arguing out of ignorance.

Males die more than females but they are born more than females, it's a natural way of balancing population, but over all, there are more males in the world, including those of marriage ages, so go and tell your ignorant alfas for them to know this.

In Saudi Arabia, Iran , United Arab Emirates e.t.c polygamy is very insignificant and males are more than females.

Sister , truly, you are educated, by your asking questions and probing, unlike those who are ignorant and don't want to do findings.

In countries with high birth rate , it's even more male bias because of sex ratio at birth that is in favour of male, it's even worse in countries with maternal mortality.

Normally i like the idea of polygamy but on second thought, what are the reason for engaging in polygamy? because
1. The target is to born 2 to 6 children'' and i think one woman can born such amount of children except life circumstances.
* And i think one understanding woman is better than two troublesome wives''
* And i don't think sex is am enough reason to take another wife, except your present woman is giving a tough time for D sex
Pls experience elders in the house what are the benefits of polygamy when somebody has an understanding woman.
Pls is for men''
It's sex. Men get bored having sex with same woman over time

You have opened my sense of reasoning tonight good job



Puss360:
Psychologically, Humans are the most difficult species to understand...
Benefits of Polygamy heavily lies on the mentality of the Man... Not the woman...
There are many reasons men go into polygamy... Some are for sex, some are for children, some are for love generally....
But the most absurd is those who marry "to help some women avoid being a spinster"....

Years back when the earth isn't so populated and technologically advanced,we can encourage polygamy to have more children to increase agricultural production...
But now, this 21st century, Polygamy is an "Economic weigh down" on any country that allows polygamy...
We might not agree, but top 20 richest countries in terms of GDP PPP, doesn't support polygamy, infact most sef are LGBTQ friendly so as to reduce population and increase production and wealth to share among available citizens ...

Don't quote me blindly, do your research and think....

In addition; it's easier for a single man to have 6 kids and train to maximum 18yrs, but it's a heavy burden to the government to provide social amenities to all those kids...
6 kids from one man, uses government road, government electricity, government hospital, occupy government school...
All of dem from one man... Lol...
Now imagine 50 men having 6 kids each... And only like 35 of the men are working...
Isn't it a heavy burden

So... if two meat dey inside your soup, you will only chop one abi? grin

But seriously, some important cases from olden days:
- there was a time when the more kids, the more hands you had to help on farm
- infant and toddler mortality was high, so you needed to born more
- war/illness would make widows, and the late man's brother could become her husband (he might already have a wife)
- sometimes first wife could not have children, and would bring another woman to bear on her behalf

I don't think these are strong reasons still, so it leaves konji as the major reason for polygamy nowadays sha. Personally, I prefer all my wahala from one woman... both my grandfathers were polygamous, and I see the major cracks in the families as a result till this day. Grown people in their fifties still fighting like they were 8 years old.

For me the reason is very simple: Monogamy is ruled by lies, deceit and hypocrisy.

Proof?

In the link below, a Bishop just fkced someone's wife to death and ran away.

I can bet my last kobo that he is monogamously married.
If he were in a polygamous marriage, he would not have time to look at another man's wife.

The problem of clandestine sex by so called monogamous people destroys societies.
It has to stop.

The benefit in polygamy is for women who would otherwise be single and their children that would have been bastards or raised in single mother homes. Our brainwashed women would rather be baby mamas and side chicks praying for the monogamous husband that will never come.

We men will continue to help misguided womenfolk to promote monogamy so we can have all the benefits of polygamy without the commitment.

Lol and when a woman marries a polygamous man, she becomes a married-single mother, so is there really a difference? Because the man will surely love one more than the other and neglect others.

And how the man feels about the woman will also be transmitted to their kids and they will also will be neglected.

The true reason African men want more than one wife is not because they thinks it's right it's their lust and greed

They've heard the horror stories from kids in polygamous homes but still don't care and want to put head. They all love to think their case will be different, because they think they're special.

Man’s selfishness is being married and having side chicks knowing if your side chick is a decent woman she won’t want a child out of wedlock for a married man. All the benefits of polygamy without the responsibilities.

It’s the women and the children they may bear that lose out in the long run.

Monogamy is the reason there are so many single mature ladies 95% of whom will either never get a man to marry them, have children of their own or both.

Polygamy is actually bad for men because they have to take full responsibility for what they are doing while officially monogamous.

Men are polygamous by nature. Monogamy just means we continue to act polygamous and avoid responsibility.

Having read the comments so far, I agree with this comment and your previous one. There are more men than women nationwide and globally. However, there are few "marriageable men". Even fewer than "marriageable women". Polygamy affords women to have have children raised in a two parent household with a man who is financially capable. For single mothers and older women, the same applies.

The demonisation of polygamy has resulted in many advanced aged single women of whom young men won't marry. And like you said, it actually benefits women more as most men don't like committing. Polygamy forces him to commit and be responsible for the household.

Our forebearers were right in some aspects of life.

P.S. Polygamists should not opt for younger women (<32) and should only be for men with the financial resources.
