A Nigerian activist and Pastor of Mind of Christ Christian Center, Reno Omokri has reacted to Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie’s second marriage.

Earlier today, the Nollywood actor had posted a picture of himself and his son whom he welcomed with his second wife.

The post generated many reactions by celebrities and fans.

A loyal follower of Reno Omokri called his attention to it and asked for his views concerning Yul Edochie’s second marriage.

Reacting to it, the pastor stated that being polygamous is not bad. “Polygamy is not a sin”, he said. Reno went further and said that God Himself gave David many wives. He drew his submission from 2 Samuel 12:18.

The pastor made it known that polygamy is scriptural and only forbidden for bishops and elders of the church.

Pastor Reno said that it’s saddened that the Africans accepted the concept of monopoly which according to the clergyman, is the constructure of the Western world.
His statement reads;

“In my opinion, @YulEdochie has done no wrong. Polygamy is not a sin. God Himself gave David many wives-2 Samuel 12:18. Polygamy is only forbidden for Bishops, and elders in the church-1 Timothy 3:2. Monogamy is a Western construct, not a Christian one”

“Sadly, Black Africans accept this Western construct called monogamy, as a Christian one. Which is why we are now tolerant of same sex marriage, and intolerant of polygamy. Meanwhile, God supports polygamy-2 Samuel 12:8, and gay marriage is abominable in His sight-Leviticus 18:22.”

“Polygamy is Scriptural-Exodus 21:10. It is hard for a single woman to satisfy the libido of a normal man. It is why we have a high rate of cheating in our society. Compare the rate of adultery in Europe and America, with that of Saudi Arabia and point becomes clear”.

I'm equally thinking of making my Igbo side chick Nelly as my second wife after 15yrs of marriage to my wife.
The girl just dey give me joy in all fronts. I feel it's better to legalize the damn sh*t.

My wife is a career woman & the last kid of the house is five. I'm damn lonely so that's why I'm considering the option. Nairaland has being helping but it can't fill the void of human companionship.

Any other man or woman apart from the first person who legally married you is a Sin Partner. You both are Decieving yourselves

All I'm convinced about is that marrying a second wife can never take someone to Hell.

Bible proof? Reno posted his

2 wives. My mmpurummri wife go call unknown gunmen for me o

Which of the lies are from pit of hell?;

That Solomon had many wives and hundreds of concubines? Or

That David, Solomon's father had many wives also!

RENO ON THE BEATZ
RIGHTEOUSNESS LETS HEAR UR COUNTER ARGUMENT

A culture that says a broke man can’t get a woman shouldn’t dictate how many he gets when he become rich

Our morals has been thrown to the dogs

Read your Bible very well and you'll know God actually frowns at having more than one wife.

Leviticus 18:18
You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her unclothedness.

1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband

1 Timothy 3:2
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

1kings 11:1-4


He even committed adultery to start from.

All these so called Woke Christians sef

Unfortunately, the emotional gender have fallen victim of mind control that has brought them into a conflict between African tradition and western construct.
How do you explain modern African women being favourably disposed to baby mamaism and lesbianism than they are to polygamy.
It's high time African women began to make use of their common sense and stopped being got caught up in western propaganda.
I'm beginning to get scared for the kids being trained by single women.

Except in a case where a spouse is dead. Then you are Biblically free to marry again.

oga goan sit down, polygamy is not a sin. No b you write bible sir

Of course, I have said it over and over again that Yul did the right thing. But some zombies here with low IQ started displaying their daftness.

A man is absolutely free to marry as many wives as he wants. Ned nwoko married so many wives and he's currently still searching for more.

What if Yul had ran away after getting the lady pregnant? Some idiots here would have cursed the guy. Now he took the responsibility of accepting the Lady and the child. The same idiots are still cursing him. Are you people not mad like this?

If your wife isn't enough for your satisfaction, then dump her asap and get another girl or better still add another woman to the list. Your happiness must come first before anything else!!!!!!

That they did such didn't make it right. Even Jesus pointed same by saying it was not so in the beginning. It means God's plan for marriage wasn't so but for the hardiness of man's heart.
Apostle Paul echoed same

-As long as you treat her well, am not against.

- I have two wives, and we are happy that way. Meanwhile, it was a conscious decision, not accidental.

-Africans be proud of your culture and stop being the joke of the earth!

As long as King David, Solomon stories are in the Bible Polygamy is right, so you better shut your mouth and never you mock God. Always talking as if you know more than your creator, Are you the one that made the Bible? If the word of God which is the Holy Bible is against polygamy the story won't be in the Bible. why did God create man to have millions of sperm and woman to have one egg that could freeze when she enters menopause? It's because God created man to multiply and not stick to one woman but religion has eaten deep into your head that you can't use your sense anymore.

Follow this guy at your peril ,even the scripture he quoted is totally wrong 2samuel 12:18 has nothing to do with wives .smh

Stop ranting in ignorance . Bring out a single scripture that condemns polygamy.

You really lack the ability to read and understand. The scriptures you referenced have nothing to do with polygamy.

Show me one scripture where God condemned them or any other for marrying more than one wife. You people should stop being overzealous and walking in lame paths of ignorance.

In our tradition it's not wrong but for christains it is wrong

David was a Jew

Not a christain

All these reactions will not change the fact that Yul Edochie now has a child outside his marriage!

When 2 faced face did it, he infact given more endorsement

Today many others now see it as an achievement

BeeBeeOoh:


Our forefathers dem married many wives back then, they learnt to love each other and lived happily; non of them complained about their husband marrying more than 2 wives and heaven did not fall.

Marriage then has nothing to do with love or any other romantic bullshit you
watch on TV today.

Many of the wives then actually do more than complaining.
Going diabolical was a common way of dealing with rivals.
Ask your elders for more detail.

Polygamy may not be a sin, but it's morally wrong. Those of you backing up your claims with the guys in the Old Testament, you are wrong. When it comes to marriage, the original idea was one man with a woman.

God created only one woman for Adam and that was Eve. He should've created more but in His wisdom, he knew one was okay. So, what's the point with marrying many women? You don't have any justification. In fact, you are looking for trouble.

The second "wife" knew he was married but still went ahead to date a married man, become pregnant and bore him a son.

She could have gotten involved with a regular/single dude that would have made her a first/only wife but their hypergamous nature will always prevail over logical reasoning.

For all the blames Yul receives, a woman CHOSE to become a second wife to a man of higher societal status over settling down with a regular dude. It's the same hypergamy that made an 18 year old actress become the 5th wife to a wealthy dragon from Delta State.

It made influential Davido/Tuface into serial baby daddies. There is a reason the late Alafin of Oyo had 13 wives and they all willingly chose to share his resources amongst themselves because of his high ranking status in society.

There is a reason FFK is able to attract younger women into his life despite warnings from the older ones he flogged out of his life for the new breed.

Many women would rather share influential men amongst themselves than get involved with decent single dudes so no one is to be blamed.

Man's heart is still very hard, if not harder in this present times.

So?

This sex thing is just one hell of an issue I'm personally tired of honestly. The rate of sexual activity in society across all cadres of individuals makes one wonder what the original plan was.

The bolded is not a very good argument because every animal was created one pair aswell. But we all know that there are no boundaries for animals today. Biologically, there are no differences between mammals be it goat or man.

While the argument on polygamy continues, my present counsel is if you know you have polygamous tendencies, let your fiancée know before you guys go into marriage to enable her decide if she will be willing to share her husband legally with another woman in future.

It will be most unfair if she thinks you are monogamous only for you to get into marriage and you start telling her you are a polygamist.

The wives that married the likes of David and Solomon knew they were kings and by default polygamous as was the practice.

Uloma ready know say second wife dey show.
Make she comport .

Apparently, Reno has evolved into this truth.
He didn't hold this view a couple of years ago.

Ol' boy this your example get as e be o!
But I get your point. lol
