Nigerian Men And The '2nd Wife Or More' - Culture Or Modern Day Infildelity?

It appears that many people live in the past with regards to Nigeria and they just want to believe what they want so they can say things about Nigeria/Nigerians.

Infidelity does not necessarily equate polygamy. Infidelity is worldwide and not unique to Nigeria, neither is it unique to men.

Somebody said Nigerian laws wont work in polygamy cases as if she has ever taken such a case to court. The silliness of just try to drag Nigeria down is fascinating

Polygamy and infidelity is not necessarily the same thing. If a spouse takes on another wife/husband with the knowledge and permission of the wife/husband than it isn't exactly infidelity, infidelity points more towards unfaithfulness to a marriage/relationship. Thats hard to do if its within the confines of the relationship as the two understand it. Its a tricky definition.

Men and women from all over the world cheat on their spouses, however in some societies not only is it a social norm, but an encouraged act. That is the difference.

There are societies where there is no stigma attached to a man having more than one wife, or a woman having more than one husband. Its something that should be discussed before getting married.

I correct my last quote,

APOLOGY BTayo1 meant for an other poster two screnes opened up here

But i don't have a facination for men why should I?? Just enjoy posting controversal topics 

most men did it in the old days when they were predominantly farmers for of practical reasons, loads of male and female children to work in the farms as there were to tractors and stuffs and it sort of crept into mainstream african culture and in the 50s,60s,70s, it was either people looking for male children who let it get out of hand or as a kind of cementing friendship,political or business interests and nowadays people do it more for status symbol as in i have arrived or to tighten friendships or connections but there are some irresponsible ones that do it cause they are, most of the women in the city that agree to it have a choice in most cases so i don't see it as being just the man's fault and some do it because they r prolly in their thirties or fourties and have lost hope of getting a single man and settled for that and some do it purely for the money, you ll be suprised how many mostly girls in their twenties in nigerian universities all jump at it and are prepared to go diabolical for a man to marry them even as a 10th wife as long as he is loaded
