Your problem is that you don't know the difference between companionship in marriage and ordinary friendship. As you are growing, many of the friends you keep today will be dropping because of change of interests,locations etc, Many will desert you because they find new interests e. g they no longer belief in things you share together, while many will leave you because of change of location. If you look back to 20years ago, can you say all of the friends back then still remain with you today? The same thing will happen when in your 60s, 70s 80s, not all the friends you frolick with today will be there by your old age. You may claim you will make new friends but it can never be the same like someone who has known you all your life. And that someone is the WIFE OF YOUR YOUTH. Better stop being lazy and go out there and find her now that you are still young.

Oga, the question is how many friends are we even talking about here?

My kind of person, one or two tested and trusted friends is more than enough for me.

He can't divorce her because she doesn't deserve it, so what are saying is that the court can only know that he's legally married if someone report him or the first woman sue him? I was thinking they have a records that will reveal that to them instantly.

Thanks so much for your quick response
they have records too, and i dont think the man can have two marriage certificate in his name when he has not nullified one

so someone that knows that u have been married before can see ur picture and he/she can report u to the authority
Newspaper publications have archives. Marriage Registries have records of marriages. If u can find out the places the person has lived, no matter how short the period of his residence in that area, u can visit the marriage registries located in those places and find out from them. However, these things aren't supposed to be so. The ministry of interior should a unified record of statutory marriages done Nationwide, from which records, a person intending to marry may apply to view, to find out if the person he/she wants to marry is already married or was formerly marriage. This expertise is unknown to those Zombies whose sense of direction is not longer than their greedy noses. Making such a record would have been an opportunity for the minister to make money, because a budget on this has to be raised. Then applicants who want to check their records get to pay application fees and are also issued with certificates of their findings. All these would take in money for the ministry on a coded level. But dem no sabi find coded money.
There is this divorce case I did for a prison officer who was married to a soldier. The woman didn't know that the soldier was earlier married and even had HIV. Dude didn't tell her sh1t. It was the 1st wife who say her post on Facebook that told her the dude was married to her. Both marriages we're court marriages. Now the soldier is liable to imprisonment of 7 years (bigamy) and the marriage is null and void from the start die to the existence of the earlier marriage. U can imagine what the lady would have been saved from if such unified records of marriages exists in an easily accessible form.
Another voiding factor is the fact that the soldier has a communicable disease which he hid from her. A marriage partner who has a communicable sexual disease cannot make a valid marriage, where he/she does not disclose the disease to the partner before the marriage.

Most big and old churches are certified by the ministry of interior to conduct marriages. Such marriages are very valid, 101%.

because my husband is the one that is being selfish here not her and he's not willing to let go of any of us. So what do you suggest I should do please because as for me I'm please with baby mama but he's not. The only thing I'm scared of is him not impregnanting another woman here in Nigeria.
in my opinion u should have left him and look for someone else who will genuinely love u,, do u prefer to be with a man that is selfish?? dont u think u deserve better.. because there is no assurance that he will not see another girl after u and also desire her, he knows he cant marry 2 wives without divorcing one and he is not ready to be be a baby daddy, he is not ready to leave his wife to be with u, i just feel deserve someone better, if u were my sister i will not allow u marry such a man.....l know of many Nigerian men here in America that are sitting on hot seats because of things like this....

Marriage, the scam institution people venture into so :

they don't get bored at old age

they get constant sex

they get someone to cook and wash

The reason married men and women go about chanting on all social media platforms about their wonderful marriage and how bachelors/spinsters are missing out is because misery loves company. grin grin

Truly women could be very difficult to keep and manage but don't give up on your effort of finding the one that would be loyal to you till death do you part. She is out there. Go and look for her.

You raised valid points for marriage. Why would you not want any of the above. And what benefits in choosing to remain single supercede the above points.
