Even those who grew up in clear dysfunction but succeeded will tell you the dysfunction was part of why they succeeded. So you can't go by that.

I can assure you NOBODY who grew up monogamous will tell you they wished pa had more wives!

But psychologists have thoroughly researched these things as you can see below
Psychologists have not thoroughly researched anything!

What is the 'method' of their 'research'? how valid and reliable are the tools? How fair are the conclusions? And by whom was the research done? Who funded it? As it turns out, in case you do not know, all research results agree with the person/group that funded it. And many of auch 'research', are funded by left-keaning psycopaths with an agenda!

Nobody who grew up in monogamy wishes he were born in polygamy because of the propaganda, misinformation, miseducation and misconception there is against it!

No, when anybody who grew up in dysfunctional home tells you that, they are not making a case for dysfunctionality. But when anyone who grew up in a polygamous home tells you it contributed o why they are the well balanced individual, they are ACTUALLY MAKING A CASE FOR POLYGAMY because in it, there is support from not just one person, but from a host of others. This is ine of the advantages of polygamy the ignorant, biased and ideologically driven lefts don't want you to know.

Bro, you give social media too much credit. Many of the likes belong to guys who are patently prejudiced and misogynistic (women haters) and have not even been in a long term relation let alone married with kids.

They believe women should be treated as property to pleasure men when that is now no longer possible decades after women's liberation became a natural part of human existence.

I am 100% sure most of the likes the poster you addressed received are from adults that are kids, in terms of life experience, who fantasize their best life is having loads of diffrent women in a house to service as they please. Teenage fantasy sort of thing.

Men aren't passing through hell in marriages because they are in monogamous relatioships. Most men in marriages they are unhappy in is because dynamics has changed.

Women today are not their mothers. They don't compromise when problem arise or feel the need the need to sacrifice to maintain the union or stay for the sake of the children.

Women now prioritise their happiness and are more demanding. Meaning they will walk away if unhappy in a marriage while past generations stayed and made sacrifices for family

Polygamy is way worse. Most children brought up in it don't repeat it when older and seeking partners except if in strict Islamic nations. I am Yoruba. Christian by birth. I have seen the future choices of many adults raised in polygamous home from countless examples to include those in my own direct family. Majority reject it because it was not a good experience for them. Fact.

I have loads of Moslem Yoruba friends my age who have shunned polygamy, despite their religion allowing it, talk less of our Yoruba Moslem elders like Tinubu, Fashola etal and literally thousands others who have wealth, status and prominence yet reject polygamy.

Imagine when religion allows it yet most modern, exposed, wealthy and well-educated Yoruba Moslems still reject polygamy. What is that telling you?

Ask even the guy who made the comment, that you are taking seriously, if he is married, has opinionated kids (male and female) above 14 and his answer will be no.

Does he even have a teenage daughter, as some of us do, he can ask if she'd be interested in going into a polygamous home? Yet he is speaking as if he is experienced and has a tale to tell.

He is just fantasising about what he believes he wants without the experience that teaches a man what works best in life 100%.

Same way communism died, so too will polygamy. Only a question of time and that is why polygamy is still popular in mainly Africa and Asia that other continents have evolved beyond.
You make valid points here. Going into marriage have responsibilities attached to it which many today are not ready to carry.

You obviously need to stand on 'four legs' because your pockets are overfilled..... That's a no-brainer.....
That's the only reason majority of the women agree to date men to begin with, not to talk of getting married to men. Ask men who don't have enough to cater for extra mouths what their experience in dating world is and poor men in marriage. So, when you have it, you too have got to flaunt it.

And it's no surprise because the women are merely tools to you..... To satisfy your procreative and randy desires.....

Precisely. Merged with how many Nigerian male refuses to man up and take responsibility for their actions, we then have excuses like "polygamy is better" etc.

Times have changed. Especially from the perspective of women whose status has been upgraded massively to make them more equal to men and therefore deserving of more respect than our grandmother's got.

The above means that most men who do not wish to modernise and moderate their views may not have good marriages.

Women too should not get carried away overdoing the feminist thing. They should respect and honour their men but the man too should accept that times have changed for good.

Men should be firm and assert themselves when needed but they should also be more sensitive and understanding and not chauvinistic throwbacks some men were 60 years ago.

You cannot keep a modern woman by insisting on being a throwback. Men who have that throwback mentality, and women overdoing the "we are equal to men" thing, is the reason many couples cannot compromise leading to why many marriages fail today.

Below is an excerpt from Toke Makinwa's experience, leading to her divorce, that captures modernity properly.

She decided to be strong and opt for better after being cheated on. Yet Nigerians, men and women, claimed she is supporting female infidelity whereas she was speaking about men taking responsibility for their wrongdoing after her Husband cheated and fathered a child outside.

Toke did not accept that to remain silent, miserable and unhappy as her mother or grandmother would. She appreciates her own worth to know she deserves better.

Yet society, including even women, will blame her for being single due to "difficult character". Ultimately everything desirable in life ( related to success, fulfilment, spiritual peace, family and marital happiness etc) is mindset.

Experience with infidelity:
Makinwa's own marriage to Maje Ayida ended due to his infidelity, which was a public and painful experience for her. She has stated that she was blamed for the failure of her marriage, even though her ex-husband was the one who cheated and fathered a child with another woman.

You really made sense with the bolded comment.

But in monogamous marriage, your wife is also after all your inheritance too.
Genuine attraction cannot be negotiated.

They are SCIENTISTS, you are NOT! That's their job! They studies years for it, you did not. They lnow how to take everything into account.

We actually have a way to compare right here in Nigeria. Compare children raised in polygamy in the North and children raised in monogamy in the South. QED!

The Usual stereotype told to someone who probably have never seen a polygamous home before!

All you 'know' of polygamy is all the nonsense told by those who either have never seen it before, or due to the wrong teaching of christianity those who don't even know christianity in the first place, have told you!
You're not serious. I'm talking from observable experience.

Care to explain how? How many have you studied to arrive at your conclusion?
Killings by jealous partners are more rampant among monogamous families than among the polygamous families. So, any study to back your "belief"?
"Killings by jealous partners are more rampant among monogamous families than among the polygamous families." You also don't have any study to back up this your belief.

I'm talking from real life observable experience. Polygamy is disastrous, but I think it depends on the frame and strength of the patriarch.

Bitter and honest truth!

Men with one wife are the saddest, demoralized, lonely and isolated creatures on Earth.

If marriage vows were to be renewable, 99% of men won’t renew it. They will run for their dear life’s.

Also, bible said...Two shall cleave as one..I heard it boldly on my wedding day too🤣🤣🤣

Christian religious indoctrination about marriage aside... Polygamy excelled in the past because society was not as immoral and money-focused as it has become today.
First of all, there is no evidence anywhere that today's society is more immoral than societies of the past. And, money has always impressed the human being all through history.


So, even if you bypass the doctrinal shackles of religion and/or modern borrowed societal values of today, how many young men of today can economically sustain a Polygamous union?!!
Those who cannot do it, do not have to and should not bother about it. The point is not to FORCE ALL MEN AND WOMEN INTO IT, THE POINT IS THAT THAT OPTION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AND TREATED EQUALLY WITH MONOGAMY AND ALL THE MISEDUCATION AND MISREPRESENTATION SHOULD STOP.


Even at the turn of the 18th - 20th centuries, it was becoming even more undesirable for struggling and financially disadvantaged men, of which the numbers of such are astronomical today.
First of all, your claim about 18th to 20th centuries is false. as late as the '90s, polygamy was still very common.

That aside, again, if a man is struggling and cannot or will not get any help from anywhere or anyone, then he should not think of it, unless he, like the prophet Islam, could get help from his rich wife. The point you made here, still has not shown why polygamy should be seen and approached the way it currently is.


So, it's okay to listen to overfed criminals like Ned and even agree with his stand on the "benefits" of Polygamy, but the reality remains... Is it actionable or even sustainably feasible in today's harsh times?!!
First of all, calling Ned an overfed is not only false and insulting, it is also libellous. The fact remains that his source of income is well known. He is from a well-to-do background and he got the money he now has by coming to the aid of your governments at all levels and helped them not only save save money by stopping unlawful deductions, but also helped them recover what was wrongfully deducted. You are probably a beneficiary of this single work he did when the government reinvested the recovered money into providing services to you.

Again, anyone who cannot do it becauae he thinks it is financially beyond him, should not do it.

Or, you think you can court and marry multiple working class women, none whom would mind sharing financial burdens with the same man they share with fellow wives?!! Today's feminists?!! Lol.
Well, you are not all women, so, cannot speak for women. Just because he cannot do it as you think it is beyond him, does not mean others cannot do it or that polygamy is bad.



Abeg... Leave all this talk.
you are the one who should leave talk.
