If you desire polygamy so much then marry only widows, divorcees and single women over 40yrs

femi4:
I don't agree with that part

To each his own sir bt dt conclusion is as a result of soooo many examples.
If one is determined to give children d best in life (as chances permit), d lesser, d more achievable. When I mean d best, it's nt necessarily finance related. I personally place a high value on investing 'virtues' into kids&it's been observed dt d more they are, d less time u have to monitor each of them.

You're entitled to ur opinion though.

ghettochild:

I disagree with u absolutely..
You are really wrong..
If you are rich n marry wives who are productive in their own way
U won't have problems

You're entitled to ur opinion sir, as long as I or mine aren't adversely affected.

Munzy14:

Some who keep only one wife, still cant get peace of mind.

Of course, that's life&there're many contributory factors to that.

1StopRudeness:


U don’t want to be a billionaire??

I don't av to be to be happy, thanks.

Amumaigwe:


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

It's fine, suit urself pls.

Humm ...I didn't see it from that angle. I thought you were looking at the financial implications

NextD18:
One of the Advantages I know is that; The nagging and bad-mannerisms will be lesser as there will be competition between the wives to impress you with good characters and doings.


This is only if you are RICH!

Why will a poor person two wives and what kind of women will agree to that? Imbeciles, init?

mignone:

I don't av to be to be happy, thanks.

sure.....bet why would u wanna be happy and poor when you can be happy and be a billionaire at the same time....

redsun:

U have no idea why women marry sometimes ....women marry just for change of spinsterhood status, for money, for sex, because the opportunity presents itself and they don’t wanna miss out...I’ve seen a woman that married a guy just becos he’s crippled thinking he’s a perfect candidate for no cheating...it shocked her when the guy got someone else present before she did

I know the kind of man I am I can control 3 women

To teach the first wife lessons in most cases

Some do it if looking for male or female child

Some for sexxz old puxxxy ain’t sweat


And all will result in more problems better to have side chick than to bring second wife home

Fuckdem:

I'm not sure that's accurate


In the north
There are men with 100+ kids

Loud greetings to that u and dat badt grand pa

Michelle55:
Not worth it... Just stick to one because one woman is enough problem already,why are you trying to die young by having massive heartaches?

PS: and if you must become polygamous, make it 3 instead of 2... Because when those two will gang up against you, the 3rd will snitch on them to become your top priority and favorite heard this secret from one baddest grandpa in my area

holocron:


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.

Did you know WHY polygamy was the ideal thb back in the day?


Like I mentioned before

1) Labour was the gold back in the day. The more children you have, the more manpower you had at your disposal (and soldiers when your village gets raided, as this was rampant back in the day)
Unfortunately one woman cannot give you that, because one woman cannot bear 30 kids back to back
So you need more wives to give you more kids.

2)our forefathers were not sex driven but sensible providers and defenders of their family.
Character and fertility of the woman was what was looked at.....
Sex appeal (big ass big brezz) was at the back burner, and most importantly our forefathers were not slaves to their penis.

Many women then will not get a second look by most men today.


Why polygamy wont work large scale today


1) Most of the men seeking polygamy today are slaves to their penis and are lust driven
This combination beclouds ones judgement and picking multiple wives in the basis of this is disastrous

2) we are In a tech driven world with less emphasis on labour
In this economic order, many dependents at the base of the population pyramid is not the best way to go.
Many kids in this era is NOT Ideal.

And other reasons sha


Now can polygamy work?

Maybe

Is it for me?

Lai lai

Can a lust driven man run a successful polygamous home?

That's a disaster


Can polygamy breed jealousy and bad blood?

Absolutely !
Especially if the first wife was married to you when things were so bad, then you then make it
Then you think it's a good idea to add two bimbo wives after your first wife is burnt out (we know this is often the case in Nigeria)

From that day going forward
There would be no peace

But if you married them all when you were well to do, and you were honest with the first wife from day one that you will have additions, the frictions will be reduced

The variables are so many

drmikeadams:
. It is only a foolish man that will still engage himself in the yoke of polygamy in dis century ,,u marry two or more wives then u create problems and rivalry between the wives and children. Then the foolish man will die without putting the family in order,,,then there will be fuji house of commotion when the man is gone

Men should stop allowing their erection become their directions in life

but a wise man will have many hidden concubine outside, then call himself a man of God abi. I have seen a man with four wives and his house is in other, no noise making because they all have their houses in separate places within the town and the man is alone with his first children from each of the wives. The women comes in turn by turn it all boil down to money

That same man despite four wives will still have many many girlfriends out there

So what is the point?

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

They both have advantages and disadvantages

An elderly man once told me,
If you want to leave long and enjoy your old age, marry more than one wife if your first wife is the nagging type.

What if she's not the nagging type?

In what ways pls?

barnny:
You see what I'm saying?
How can a man be married to two women? And expect to have peace? Consider the hatred ahead

Check it out https://www.nairaland.com/5772897/ibrahim-kasimu-oboshi-how-married

what hatred exactly? i wouldnt get into polygamy but i certainly dont see anything wrong in the picture you posted. so long as these intelligent women believe that this is what they want for their lives, and understand the consequences, then let them get married to whoever they desire....so long as it is for the RIGHT reason (no, MONEY is not a "right" reason IMHO)

we certainly cant sit here and say that polygamy doesnt work in Africa when we all know that our CULTURE/HISTORY was founded on exactly that.

cococandy:
Society is you.

sadly, society is bigger than me and you.... its:
- PARENTS brainwashing their kids for generations
- RELIGION brainwashing people for generations
- POVERTY that have some people sell themselves to the highest bidder
- GREED that has men thinking they can have as much women as they wish (regardless of what their partner desire)

...the above is part of what i define as some of this failed society mindset.

why must women be a problem at the first place and be proud saying it......

MrBrownJay1:


advantages:
its best to have all your kids under one roof than scattered everywhere and them not knowing one another
its best to have all your wives under one roof so you can control and sort any issue on the spot
its best to be honest about who you are and be who you desire to be....especially if you want to fukc every sexy single women out there


so you believe its ok to cheat on your wife with unilag olosho...?

I know Alhajis and chiefs with multiple wives yet they carry smallies up and down. Stop acting like all men with multiple wives don't ever cheat.

as i have clearly stated earlier, polygamy is not for everybody. some men would cheat even if they had 99wives...these aint men, they are SICK ANIMALS

With money there are lot of advantages but go broke you will hate why you were born

RisenPhoenix:


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.

you fit borrow me your babe for this weekend?

Might as well ask also, are there advantages to marrying more than one husband?

pocohantas:
It is very good if the woman has her own money and can milk enough from the man.

Taking care of a grown man alone is too much stress. If you have co-wives to share it with, you can have enough time for yourself and sideguys.

He wouldn’t be looking for you upandan, because the other wives would be at his beck and call.

ladies are lovers of attention, how do you intend to compete?
