‘Monogamy Doesn’t Work, Every Man Should Have Multiple Women’ – Seun Kuti by Odewaleadesoye(m): 4:25pm On May 24
Controversial Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has downplayed monogamy, saying it “doesn’t work”.

The Afrobeat crooner encouraged men to embrace polygamy, stressing that every man should have multiple women.


Speaking on the ‘Bahd & Boujee’ podcast, Seun claimed that having multiple women demonstrates power and affluence.

He said, “Monogamy doesn’t work. As a powerful man, you must have the support of numerous powerful goddesses. You know, women that are in your life because the ancestors want to put them there. You share with them.”

He added that his late father and Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, had over 100 concubines despite marrying 27 women in one day.

Seun Kuti is publicly known to be married to one woman; his wife, Yetunde Kuti.

When you are a community penis and you know how weak you are for not being able to control your penis, you will open mouth waaa to utter nonsense like Seun Kuti.

If you want polygamy, that's your choice. But it is stupidity to drag men that want monogamy into your community penis group.

Monogamy works, there are men that married once and never cheated on their wives.

What killed Fela? Aids! Aids from the drilling many holes up and down with community penis. So polygamy didn't stop Fela from cheating.

Unless you're extremely wealthy, it's best to avoid polygamy in today's economy. Even providing for one wife and children can be a significant challenge, let alone multiple families.

In our African society, men are providers. How many men have been able to feed themselves and their immediate families talkless of feeding multiple women?

Having multiple men or women comes with responsibilities apart from sexual satisfaction.

For men who want to be monogamous or polygamous, do what works for you. For women who want to be hypergamous, do it if it works for you.

It is your right.

Most big / rich men prefer monogamy because it truly affords them the opportunities to misbehave as they so please when they see fit...

Before I proceed, polygamy as used in my opinion is within the scope of 'Responsible Polygamy'. So shelve whatever presumptuous thoughts you may have in your head.

Contrary to popular views, polygamy would make a man live long than these much touted nuclear family system called monogamy. I can make a table chart where both can be compared and contrasted side by side with their list of advantages and disadvantages.

Monogamy in that table only has just one advantage over polygamy, and it is a factor which I've been unable to resolve theoretically stating. However, polygamy check marks all others bearing more advantages than disadvantage.

One of the advantages is an assured peace of mind, one which has to do with the management stability that renders the life of the husband to last much longer than those trapped in the quisling and wilderness of monogamy.

Importantly, I've noticed that most of the reaction to that word is founded on false assumption, which in its own reality is prevalent in the society. The idea of been a 'loose cannon' is what fills up their thoughs at the mere mentioning of "polygamy". It is high time 'polygamy' should stopped been miscontrued as promiscuity.

They are in fact not the same. More precisely, polygamy will curb whatever tendency in a husband married to multiple to not live like a wild-dog, it will curb it, it will force him to become sexually and socially responsible. Why would he want to screw around when he's got nine beautiful ladies at home.

Monogamy on the other hand, do not only affords hypocrites the unhinibited opportunities to scale a fence, cheat, manipulate, even in spite of all the matrimonial vows made. It verily provides so much leeway for promiscuity in all forms of adulterous activities.

Polygamy is the marital commitment between a responsible and capable adult man with at least two sensible and matured wives.

Based on the reality of today's world, it is advised to ask your ori before going into polygamy, personally I will not recommend it if you're not capable. I repeat do not go into polygamy if you are not prepared to live a life of commitment to stark responsibilties. Otherwise you will suffer your wives.

Ensure you have capital to run it. It is not just by having lengthy and bulging member or been tall like dongo. Capital is the most important factor that trumps all in today's capitalistic and materialistic world.

Do not betray your wife by imposing yout right to bring in a second wife. That is not polygamy. That is abuse of contract which you sworn, and so you must leave with or at best, settle for divorce which I personally frown upon.

Polygamy is ensuring your would-be first wife knows what she is getting into from the onset. That's part of been responsible. Not after one lady has been with you through thick and thin, some even aborted since you weren't ready, and finally boom, you blew, then you saw reason to marry a second over her while citing ruse such as saggy boobs and wrinkles tummy. Oga you no normal.

Femininity has reserved curse that afflict men that does so, I'm not asking you to believe it or not. That curse go worry you.

And finally,
Most big / rich people prefer monogamy because it affords them the opportunities to misbehave as they so please when they see fit. With their wealth, they have the mechanism to ochestrate it without the spouse they are sworn to to knowing, polygamy gives you restrain.

Check out the excess population of young females luring about, who are their preferred targets 🎯 ? Married rich men trying their best to live a monogamous life, they argue that such married men are responsible to their wife, and so when he's budgeting, he adds their demand and expense to his budget.

It's so worse that these ladies do not want to settle with a moderate guy who is ready to settle but prefer to become the Nth baby-mama to a rich man, yawu boi or politician. These are the deep result of a society pretending to make monogamy work. All the hotels and brothels are patronized by monogamous spouse.

Why is it only Fela Kuti you see as to cite example, why not many successful polygamous white folks like Brigham Young who is the second president of Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Saint Date, marrying a total of fifty six wives. Their are many list of people out there who live a successful polygamous life, now even world celebrities are popularizing polyandry which is Life Version of it. Why in your shallow understanding made you conclude HIV/AIDS don't kill monogamous couple(s). There are individuals who have compromised themselves before settling with their innocent partner into a me-and-my-wife monogamy.

Polyandry is allowed for those who want to engage in whatever it technically means. But think deep about it. How is that viable. One woman responsibly married to multiple husbands. Well, let's imagine a capable and wealthy woman married multiple partners as husbands, so each one of them gets offsprings from her or how does this work. Polyandry/Adelphy sounds like formalized promiscuity to me.

Can you make a list of them in short phrases.

Kobicove:

Not ready because the perks and opportunities monogamy affords cheating monogams is not worth speaking the truth over. Polygamy is an herculean task, even as a rich and wealth husband, but that which has it rewards while making you gainfully responsible.

ZionVents:
Don't marry more than one wife if you want to live long.
Can you make a study in your locality or area, to 📝note down the statistics of widows who are still within the age bracket of marital activities and extrapolate which category they fell into, is it monogamy or polygamy. Come back here and present it to us... Then, I can believe you, not the presumption you posted up there.

Azazyel:

You're too much. You truly did research and it came out spot on. See all those people saying polygamy is bad are actually being deceived by foreign religion. Europeans and Americans don't believe in it. They believed in monogamy. However this is Africa and polygamy has always been part of our culture. Infact if you look at the same Bible, you'll see that most men there were polygamous. In monogamy, the man would eventually have to be begging his wife for knacks. Imagine the humiliation! Whereas in polygamy, they compete to have the man.

They don't even have to compete. Every one knows when it's their turn. It is in monogamy either spouse can for whatever selfish reason weaponize snacks to blackmail one another. That's not even the real concern. The main issue is during when the man is randy as hell but the wife is truly going through a period of menstrual pain battle or genuinely tired from her office work as the newly appointed director or CEO, or as a coordinator which can be gruelling, and yet the husband is sexually frustrated and couldn't withstand hearing what he considers to be excuses and blam - it happens, and we see on Nairaland front page topics like Husband Rapes Wife, Hits 👊 Scrotum With 🔨Hammer, Arraigned Woman Pending Trial, nonsense. The wife has as much right to her comfort as much as the husband, but the conundrum still exist. Imagine the possibility of that ever happening

Very bad advice. My fellow kings, if you wish to increase your chances of long life, don't marry more than you can handle. And never give any woman power over your state of mind. Practice detachment. Don't let her emotions influence your thinking.
