As reported by Aliyu Bashir Almusawi in a WhatsApp group:

"A court in Bauchi has dissolved a second marriage after the judge found out that the husband was jobless and it was the first wife, the mother of his five children who helped buy him Keke-Napep to earn a living only for the man to sell it, pay rent and marry another wife.

When he was pressed by journalists to explain his bizarre decision to add another wife even though he did not have the financial wherewithal to cater for his children, he simply replied that he was too virile to stay with one wife and it is Allah who will feed the family. And he did that to reduce the number of unmarried women in the north.

It is noteworthy that the man is staying in a congested family house where his three sons have to sleep with their friends somewhere. This man is not alone, there are thousands of people like him who think and behave this way.

The reasons given by that man are some of the lies that lead to reckless polygamy thereby breeding millions of uneducated children who grow up to pose serious threats to our national security. I have no problems with polygamy so long as a person can cater for the needs of his children such as shelter, feeding and education. But it does not make sense to marry when you are not ready to comply with the stringent responsibilities that come with it.

Very good judgment from the lawyers, what business does a jobless man have with marriage

ok

And he did that to reduce the number of unmarried women in the north.

What a philanthropist!

I am waiting for people who will criticize this judgement without reading it, I will catapult you the way David did to Goliath.

Kuku kill me before your comment do that

Here in the south, if you have job but not good enough you won't be thinking of marriage, but it's more easier for those who don't have a job to marry many wives. That's why we continue to have high level of poverty, insecurity, illiterate etc in the north.

Why did the second wife agree to marry him?

Marriage is not by force oooo

If this story is actually true, then the question we need to ask is why did the second wife agree to marry him? The answer to that question matters a lot.
