Adesiji77:
With all due respect, can ANY man treat 2 women EQUALLY? Not to talk of 4?
Majority of my Muslim contemporaries have admitted that this is virtually impossible!
In fact, a Muslim cleric once told me that the injunction is an indirect way of telling faithfuls not to have more than one wife. He asked rhetorically: "can a man treat two or more women EQUALLY IN ALL respects? Financially, emotionally, physically, etc? If a man can do that, then he can marry up to 4 wives" This is debatable, I guess.
In the end, people are entitled to their beliefs and opinions.

Emir Sanusi Secretly Marries Adamawa Princess - Premium Times

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has finally tied the knot with his rumoured heartthrob, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa.

The 18-year old becomes the emir’s fourth wife. She recently completed secondary school and is been enrolled for advanced level studies.

In addition to his first wife, Sadiya, who is the daughter of the late emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, Mr. Sanusi has two other wives — Maryam and Rakiya.
The secret wedding was contracted in a low-keyed ceremony in the town of Yola on Friday.

Palace sources in Yola told PREMIUM TIMES the wedding fatiha held inside the palace of the Lamido minutes after Jumma’at prayer.

Insiders say that the influential emir only sent out invitation to some dignitaries across the country, as Kano government officials sneaked into Yola for the wedding fatiha to avoid journalists.

The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, was said to have acted as the guardian for the groom, while his Adamawa counterpart, Jibrilla Bindow, played the role of the bride’s guardian, who gave her hands out in marriage to the monarch.

Mr. Sanusi’s rumoured marriage to the princess was debunked in the past.

“His decision to take a new wife is in line with Islamic injunction.

Islam allows having a maximum of four wives for those who can treat all of them equally and provide for a large family,’’ said a top Kano state government official who travelled to Yola for the wedding.

A social commentator, Dan’Almajiri Ibrahim, argued that in ancient times, links between empires were tightened by marriages among royals and nobles across boundaries.

“So, the engagement of the Adamawa princess to Emir Sanusi II may also be a move to deepen royal bond between Adamawa and Kano.

“You see, historically, both emirates have similar origins in the 19th Century Uthman Bn Fodio’s jihad,’’ he concluded.

Emir Sanusi could not be reached for comments as he is currently away in Saudi Arabia, where he is acting as leader of Nigeria’s delegation to this year’s hajj.

A highly placed palace source however confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES, saying Sa’adatu would not move in with the emir immediately.

well you won't believe my story but I have made the mistake I learned from it. I actually tot he paid my dowry cos he wanted a child but when I noticed he won't provide for d child whenever we have problems just to punish me.he paid only my dowry,dis man will be 50yrs nx year.he actually married me to cover up his marital status not that he was actually interested in the marriage.immediately he paid my dowry he started sleeping outside.he could sleep out for two days without coming bac to the house,even when my pregnancy was due.when it became too much,I started complaining to his pple,and his only sister who is a lawyer told me I didn't know him well before I married him that if I could manage him fine,if not they will allow me go wit d baby any time am ready to move on,that his brother has been living this kind of lifestyle for years. I even involved both families to talk to him to change his,even pastors to d extent that I was made to believe he has a spiritual problem.I have tried prayers and fasting but all dis didn't change him.and he always beat me up whenever I argue with him,threatening me with knife n bottle.honestly I have seen it all.I was still ready to stay cos every advise I get was to stay for d child so that he won't end up in a broken home.we don't appear anyway as husband n wife.he just paid my dowry n dumb me in the house.it was when d beeating to much that I decided to move on and have his dowry return

Then you already know you have to keep your child with you.
There's no debating that.
What you should be doing is looking for a better job and managing what you have before you get it.
You can contact child welfare services in your area and see if they make him pay up. Some people have said it works.
After all GEJ just signed the bill to make neglecting parental duty a crime. See if the implementation will work in your case and no matter how little they are able to squeeze out of him, it will go some way to feed the child at least.
