I would ask you for a stat to prove this claim, which you make here, suggesting that most divorced women go on to become sidechicks. Where is the backing for this claim? An unnamed analyst makes a claim, and we are supposed to believe it is fact? What this is saying is that a great number of Nigerian married men have divorced women for sidechicks, abi? Nonsense! huh

There is nothing Juju about it at all. If you reason it without biases coloring your view, you would see it yourself. Anyways, as for the reasons why some divorced women go on to become sidechicks, well, there are several:

➜ Society claims it is wrong to commit adultery, but then, rather than penalize the man and sidechick, lets them off, and in some cases, Society turns the blame on the wife for not being wifely enough or not having the prowess to protect her marriage from the other woman. All this is pressure placed on the wife, who now finds herself fighting depression, rejection, and also having to continue her wifely duties, all while the man and his sidechick continue to enjoy their lives as though nothing ever went wrong. Imagine a situation where even the man's family members receive gifts and entertain the sidechick behind the wife's back as though to say that they approve of the relationship, even as they continue to insist their son's wife continue to serve him judiciously in the home.
➜ Most Nigerian men treat their sidechicks so many times better than they treat their own wives. I mean, this ain't a hidden secret at all, as even very poor men are known to go out of their way to ensure their sidechicks are well fed before even their own children, talk less of their wives. The position of sidechick in Nigeria is so many times better than that of the wife, who, in many cases, is no more than a provider of free labor in the marriage.
➜ A sidechick has more opportunities for growth than a typical wife would have access to. A sidechick has greater control over her time and freedom than the average wife does, and for an ambitious woman, that is a benefit that is of great importance. Having the man while holding on to her independence is a valuable place to be in.
...
Yes, there are lots of benefits to being a sidechick than a wife to a Nigerian man, that is why I believe a wife trading places with a sidechick is a sort of promotion, not a demotion, for a divorced woman.🥱🥱🥱

This is simply human behavior!

✓ The lie told by OP, which is that 80% of women who get divorced eventually become sidechicks, is merely of human behavior. 😏
✓ The second behavior by some(not all) women who go to become sidechicks is of a human need to level up in any way possible. Nothing new here. 🥱

This is the second law of Newton knacking. The law states that to every woman that divorces her husband for knacking outside is directly proportional to her knacking other people's husbands.

To be very honest, all the trash you there ended up for[i][/i] poster and even gave a more glaring view to his post.

So u now admit say na woman do woman?

Based on ur gibberish "A sidechick has a high opportunity for growth more than the wife"

You are technically saying and affirming that "wife" should get a divorce so as to be a sidechick. In other word, to have a better chance for growth?

That also validates OP claim that a wife gets divorced and ends up being a sidechick. That is his argument.

Whether they have better opportunity or not is not OPs argument. But you have now open our innermost eyes to a better career opportunity as an advantage of being a divorced sidechick. Which I will end up saying is the most useless argument of 21st century.

Also, just like what one guy said, no sane man would leave his wife for a sidechick not to mention "divorced, 8th hand, borehole sidechick"

Once you divorce your husband and come outside you will realise that no single guy wants to marry you, we go just dey chop you dey go.

Eventually they realise this and run back to married men because they know they stand a better chance of becoming a second wife than getting married to a single guy grin

This has never been true. Even as far back as the 80s, it was reported that many formerly divorced men and woman alike went on to successfully remarry and so on. In the South where abandonment was the norm, this was not properly tracked, however in Northern Nigeria where in some places the official divorce rate was recorded to have been as high as 81%, remarriage was never out of the place. 🤔🤔

2. Again, this is false! The few who choose to become sidechicks do so for reasons best known to them same as those others who choose remarriage as well as those who choose never to marry again. 🤔🤔

Try to make it a happen to investigate reality of things outside of your head before posting comments so you don't come off as severely deluded humans in the year 2025. 🥱🥱🥱

A lot of humans — men included— tend to be more emotional than rational in the way they reason even their desires, hence the reason why even our ancestors thought it OK to totally abandon their wives and children in pursuit of the other women they desire. It is all just human behavior and not juju, as many Nigerians would still love to believe. sad

So her purpose of resigning from wifehood is not particularly because she detests philandering but because she wants to take from the juicier end.

She would rather be a side chick than be the wife of a man that has a side chick.

Interesting. grin

1. That is a silly conclusion to reach from my comment there, don't you think? 🙄🙄

The question it was in response to is why some divorced women end up side chicks, making clear that this only applies to women after they have been divorced, not before. So, it could not then be reasonably suggested that said women left their marriages solely with the intention of becoming sidechicks. They each had valid reasons for needing to resign from their marriages, reasons that may not have anything to do with their later decisions to become sidechicks afterwards. 🥱🥱🥱

2. A woman whose ex-husband was a douchebag with sidechicks whom he treated better than she ever was—leaving her possibly financially, physically, and emotionally abused in the end with nothing to show for all of her years of diligence as a wife —, can, in fact, consider being a sidechick than a wife in her other relationship. 🥱🥱
Re: Why Do Some Divorced Women Date Married Men? by Nobody: 9:20pm On Oct 06, 2025
It's karma and that's one of the ways to identify the party to be blamed the most for the divorce. A woman who divorced her husband over serious issue like physical abuse will likely get married to another responsible man and have a peaceful home. Once a divorced woman starts dating married men or sleeping around with boys, you don't need to ask who caused her marriage to break down because the answer is right there before you. Some of them who manage to hook up with or marry another man will continue to have issues until the whole thing scatter no matter how good and responsible the man they hook up with is. It's like karma, they can't run away from it because it follows them like flies follow dead body.
