I have observed something among polygamist and that is "Selfishness and self centeredness, the posts above confirmed it. Everyone is talking about Himself, they will be competing to take care of you, competing to do this do that for YOU! Everything is all about YOU! But let me remind you, while they are competing to please you, Your children are also competing for favors from you. Some will live with hatred for their step moms and step brothers until they die. They will hate you and destroy your legacy. In this 21st century polygamy is not worth it.

At Old age none of them will look your way because each an every woman in that house will work towards the progress of her own children and once that goal has been achieved, oboy forget it even the children will careless about you.

I have a friend who was born into a family of 28, their father passed away late last year, and as i am typing this, their father's room is occupied by a tenant, they sold everything including the family house. Sometimes its not all about you, think about the future of your children.

Food for thought... Only for the wise.

Actually, it is good to marry more than one wife. At least, the man will enjoy pussyy well well.

Yes, agreed most of us including myself have grandparents who were polygamous, I must tell you it isn't something pleasurable in most cases but if you feel that's the best life for you please go ahead

Did your grandparents tell you so? Most had much better marriages than modern day monogamists, and less divorces/abuse.

And the thread isn't about my personal preferences. It is a discussion about the pros and cons of polygamy.

This is only if you are RICH!

And if you poor,then go kill you.

See the faces of the women on the pictures you posted sef...Trouble's already brewing...

You ain't sensitive if you can't see that.

If the pictures do not give you enough advice you seek, nothing else will.

I didn't say extra. I said extra marital.

"Extra marital"; outside the confines of a legally and/or culturally acceptable marriage contract.

Polygamy is a legally and/or socially acceptable marriage to more than one spouse.

all na the same. One of them must carry am come house to distribute to others

Does Marrying More Than One Wife In Anyway Has Advantage?

Please let's discuss and learn from different ethnic background if marrying more than a wife in anyway has advantage, disadvantage or either ways. I'm sure people from polygamous family might have learnt one or two lessons that will/might make them conclude that marrying more than a wife is a no no for them. While some believe there are still benefits in marrying more than one wife.

Note: this discussion is open for both Christians and Muslims including the atheist as far as we are here to learn, unlearn and relearn

is there anything like advantage. Pray you marry a good wife because even one bad wife can send you to hell not to talk of two bad wives? Yes you are right, we are here to learn but me dont think there is any advantage in marry more than one wife. The nagging, fighting, jelousy, gossipping and even fighting for superiority will always be there no matter how hard you try.

Easy to do tests before marriage. Not easy to do tests before every indiscriminate sexual encounter.

Stop justifying rubbish and evil polygamy is evil and nothing good comes out of it. Some men are so selfish and self centered that they don't think of the implication of polygamy. Some men go to the extent of using charms And idol to hold the two women and get them to live in the same house eventually if they die tomorrow due to he is no longer there to renew the charms or idol trouble and war start busting before you know it they start killing their selves while the idiot who caused the mess is in the grave. Even the muslim men who are rich don't do that shit anymore because they have Most of them have seen the implication of it, some of them even lost their lives while trying to marry second wife so is only illiterates, poor and timid ones that indulge in that useless act.

Historically, our culture supports polygamy. There’s polygamy even in USA and U.K.

EgunMogaji is very pro polygamy, in words and action.

Why did you create another monicker to spoil a man name

Thanks for the wisdom employed to raise this topic. I will be very short in my response.

for longer life and prosperity it is good to marry more than two women in your life and life time.

one woman is one nation and their life and expectations does not match a man's aspirations. there no amount of profession you do that will help because they are made of sterner stuff than men. a man needs to allow them to live life to their satisfaction watching from side and occasionally suggesting. this will enable the man to also aspire to other issues of concern.

Family development is a serious business for men while the woman busy herself only with what comes out of her. Men are more gregarious.

You dey oppose polygamy but you dey support polyphilandery? You were even citing STD as reason. Oda, kwantinu. I haff leaf you. A konjious man is a desperate man.

Polygamy is not evil,some are very successful in it,though some men does not know how to go about a polygamous setting and they end up falling at it but we still have people who came out successful with polygamy.

Monopoly is a board game u polygamy

Monopoly. Duopoly. Oligopoly. Economics?

mignone:
Who ever desires peace of mind in life should not consider polygamy or having 'many' children.
Ask those in such shoes at a time like this.

On the contrary, it guarantees peace of mind. Monopoly breeds contempt.

This is only if you are RICH!

This comment got this much likes. I'm done with Naija. It is finished.

yes.if the man can be sincere about it and if whenever he is able get then a means by which they can earn their own money.
polygamy is the way to go but it is unfortunate it is not for lazy men or women.

franchasng:
Yes oh. We should be asking:

Are there advantages in marrying more than 2 wives because more than 1 is every man's wish and calling

where did this one crawl out from with useless generalisation?so it's every man that desire more than one right in this age?u have to understand that it's mentally slow people that generalises.From everything on this thread n what happens in reality 80 percent of men don wise up.......your generalisation is just like saying it's every lady's wish to become a prostitute

u want die early grave be that by marrying two wives.. You can have like two girlfriends outside if your wife no dey give u the different style as men love it... Be wise oo

mignone:

All d best!

U don’t want to be a billionaire??

RisenPhoenix:
There is a huge advantage to polygamy, but only if a man is mature and emotionally balanced; and is able and willing to take care of all his wives. Only then can the following benefits be reaped...
For women:

1. It helps take care of women in society. If everybody who is able to do so marries many women, there will not be any single women running wild, lining up for 'special prayer', competing for husbands and becoming baby mamas. Even widows and divorcees will find husbands (if they have good characters).

2. It promotes harmony in the house; the strength and maturity of the man is key.

3. Women have more peace of mind. They know who their 'rivals' are, and if they suppress their innate desire for troublemaking, can even make friends.

4. Women rest more. The burden of running the homes is lighter when shared by more than one woman. When one wife does not feel like cooking, or having sex etc, the other(s) can step up. Child caring etc can also be rotated.

For men:

1. They have more peace at home. A woman should never feel she is the only sugar in her man's tea because she will inevitably misbehave.

2. He need not have extra marital affairs with all its attendant problems. Anytime he meets a woman that he likes, he either marries her or keeps his hands off. Having an assortment of women in the house will make him not even want to look outside (remember I made his maturity a condition from the beginning).

Women don't like it only because it takes away their power to dominate their husband.

Weak men don't like it only because women say it is not good and they want to look like nice men to those women.

I wish to know you... please chat me up on WhatsApp

Gbam! Your head they there. It's only for strong capable men, not weaklings. The generation of men especially in the southern part of the country have been degenerated by indiscriminate adoption of western cultural practices. They can hardly cope with a single wife plus sidechick talk less of 2 or more legal wives, hence the tales of woe and tears read from commenters above. Before the coming of the White man polygamy was the preferred cultural practice and only the weakest and poorest of men had to endure the troubles and disadvantages of only one wife.

Punchline33:
No textbook for marriage. U can marry two wives and be happier than one who has only a wife. I have two wives and i am okay. They dont live together, so no problems. They even compete to cut my finger nails, that is to tell you the level of flexing now.

Watch your back...

Vortex369:
Polygamy is better than monogamy, but depends on how you program the family.

Competition makes it uniquely beautiful.

It is preferable if they live in different towns and have their own homes.

2 kids for each wife is very affordable and each wife must be given a choice car renewable every 3 years.

I admire your high level of reasoning
