Yoruba... And the Yoruba guys I've met didn't treat me nice...

Pascopele:
I recommended a man to a lady friend of mine. The guy was not working but was doing a few things to survive. I told her "he is very humble, well behaved and reserved. He is not excited about partying or beer. He should be the best man for you." And based on my recommendation, she dated him. And then boom, he got a job... , the humble man disappeared. All of a sudden he become another person. She came back to me crying... And now I have come to understand, "some people are not humble, they are just broke"... Never trust the loyalty and humbless of a broke person... If you are going to date a broke person, be ready for anything. If you get a "yes sir" from a broke person, don't trust it much. Wait until they have money and see how they are going to insult you. Most of these People are not humble. It is just lack of money that humbled them.

POLYGAMY! POLYGAMY!! POLYGAMY!!!
You will all agree with me that one of the most controversial word in Christiandom today is *POLYGAMY*
Are you a religious scholar? a Pastor? a Theologian? a born again Christian?..Please, feel free to constructively contribute, castigate, correct, admonished, advice, preach........in accordance with the provisions of the Holy Bible (the word of God)
Before I go further, I will like you to have the following questions at the back of your minds.
1). Who was the first person to engage in the act of POLYGAMY?
2). Is POLYGAMY a sin?
3). Did God condemn POLYGAMY?
4). Those that engaged in POLYGAMY, are they in Hell?
5). What is the fate of the polygamous Children?
6). Is marriage a traditional act or religious act?
7). Why do Christians condemn POLYGAMY?
. What are the effects of POLYGAMY in Christiandom?
9). Has God changed?

*GEAR 1*
Lamech was the first man to marry more than one wife, Gen 4:19

*GEAR 2*
Godly/Holy persons that engaged in POLYGAMY according to the Bible included
*Abdon*, Judges 12:13-14;
*Abijah*, 2 Chronicles 13-21;
*Abraham*, Gen 16-1-3, Gen 25:1;
*Ahab*, 1 kings 20:1-3;
*Ahaseurus*, Esther 1:9,
*Ashur*, 1 Chronicles 4:5,
*Belshazzar,* Daniel 5:2,
*Ben-Hadad* (who married Ahab's wives), *Caleb,* 1 Chronicles 2:18-19,
*David* (had 8wives), 1 Samuel 18:27, 25:39, 25:42, 2 Samuel 3:5, 5:13, 12:7-8,
12:24. *Eliphaz*, Gen 36:11-12.
*Elkanah*, 1 Samuel 1:1-2
*Esau*, Gen 26:34
Ezra, 4:17-18;
*Gideon*, Judges 8:30....and many more.
We had not fewer than 40 Godly and ungodly men that engaged in POLYGAMY from the Bible. Also, we had not less than 43 POLYGAMY cases from the Bible.

*GEAR 3*
Had God condemned POLYGAMY?
*No! God NEVER did* In all the POLYGAMY cases mentioned in the Bible, God did not condemn any except David who snatched Uriah's wife. God said to David ' in 2 Samuel 12:8; *I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your
arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more."*
Why did God himself say so to David?

*GEAR 4*
Is POLYGAMY a sin?
Those that engage in POLYGAMY are they in hell?
is Abraham in hell? (Luke 16:19-31) Is Jacob in hell? is David, Solomon, Elkanah, Ezra.....@all, in hell?

*GEAR 5*
Does God permit POLYGAMY? *The answer of course is Yes!* In Genesis 21:10, God said *If he (man) marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights*. In 2 Samuel 12:8. God Himself said to David ,"...I gave your master Wives,........if you need more, I would have given you"

*GEAR 6*
What is the fate of the polygamous children? Condemned or Favoured?
Why was Joseph, Samuel, Solomon.... Highly favoured?

*GEAR 7*.
Before religion there was marriage.
Gen 1:26-28, Gen 2:18-25
The issue of Monogamy was purely *the tradition of the western world whom were our religious colonial masters. In the land of the White, traditionally, rivalry is a taboo*. But the Jews (Israelites) and the Edomites (the blacks) shares the same tradition. A widow is not allowed to be seen in the Street, but be remarried to their
husbands relatives or friends, Gen 38.

*GEAR 8*
Why do Christians condemned POLYGAMY?
The new testament completely responded seamlessly on POLYGAMY matters. The new testament talks about every aspect of Christian living except POLYGAMY.
Mathew 19:3-9, Jesus spoke about God initial plan for man. He condemned divorce but did not condemned POLYGAMY. Paul admonishment to Timothy on how to elect Church leadership, just like the case of Levite's of old (Moses...), 1 Timothy 3. The point of contention here is, If there were no men with more than a wife in the Church,
Paul Won't have mentioned it. Also in 1 Corinthians 7:39.

*GEAR 9*
Effects of POLYGAMY:
POLYGAMY has it merits and demerits in the society and Christiandom at large.
1). In the Society, the Maternal Mortality rate is high in the female folks compared to men. The number of girls birth rate is higher than that of men, and the number of men dead rate i s higher than that of women. The number of widows keeps increasing geometry adding up to the number of single women in the society.
This leads to increase of infidelity, adultery, fornication in the society compared to the days of our forefathers. So pathetic nowadays to see our single girls fighting with widows for the ownerships of a guy.
2). Religiously, the so-called MONOGAMY has cause more harm than good in Christiandom. God says in Gen 1:28 'God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground'. But what do we have today? Christians going into family planning. The Israelites lived 430yrs only in Egypt, but Pharaoh became scared because of their rapid growth in population. I can't imaging if they were practicing Family planning and Monogamy.
IBB introduced family planning to Nigeria with a maximum of 3 children to a couple and, was widely embraced mostly by Christians, that is 3 children to a couple but, Muslim being naturally a polygamy has an average 2 to 5 wives to a man, meaning 20 children to a family. This have invariably led to increase in population of Muslim
far above their Christian counterpart in Nigeria (60% / 40%).
Looking critically, Nigeria is trailing the path of Turkey and North Sudan.....
Turkey(the biblical Antioch) was a Christian nation overtaken by Muslim because of falsehood of Christian priest.
b.) Very soon Our children, particularly daughters (that we are trying to protect today) will be used as sex slaves because monogamy denied them an opportunity to marry.
C.) There are millions of stranded women in the South and, may not likely get a husband forever because of argument against polygamy; whereas hardly can a woman be stranded in the North; thanks to polygamy..

GEAR 10
Has God Change?
God of Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, .....the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the beginning and the end, the Alfa and Omega, He is the same yesterday, today and forever; has not change.

CONCLUSION
What is the way out?
Christians don't be "Paul when he was Saul' Pastors, be careful what you preach on the pulpit about POLYGAMY as what you preach, instead of becoming light, rather, it is destroying Christianity Hosea 4:6, 4:6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Op, at least you for upload profile pic, make people see as you be small.
I'm not saying you will find a relationship via this platform, but you never just know.

I empathise with you though.
I have one Fulani sweet chic in her early 30's.
Cash dey overflow her side, very slim and beautiful.

She spends most of her time abroad...Dubai in particular, but the problem, she's not married yet.

If not for the complications, I swear...I no for mind marry that chic.
It's a sad situation though!

When hunger wan finish me, I start to dey so manual labour. It was hard. But, I made 1,000 a day (1000 × 5 days × 20 days = 100,000 monthly). I shunned public opinion. Now, when i travelled abroad, it was difficult too. But because I still had my survival mindset, i started labour and hammered.

saggitarius01:
Good evening dear Nairalanders. I'm sorry I had to create a new account to post this. I am getting really worried about how my life may turn out. I'd be straight and brief as possible so please read and give me any advice you can. Thanks.

A brief rundown about myself.

I am going to be 25 in no time, growing up I felt there is only two paths a young lady should tow...either to forget being a fashonista and all trying to be neck deep in her outlook or calm down, first things first, work hard and make money (if possible be a millionaire before 25). I choose the later and as God will have it, my dream turned a reality.

Now, while I was in this journey of not turning out to be a lady who will never be able to foot her own bills, I forgot everything about being girlie. I never what it means to have female friends or hang out with any, I don't care so much about knowing the latest party and posh places or even taking all the posh pictures like the ladies in my age bracket would. I was focused to a fault. I saved to a fault.

I might not have everything I desire but I am indeed comfortable for a young lady who made it out of the ghetto life of Igbogbo.

Now my pain..

I do most of my jobs from home and therefore I am mostly within the confines of my apartment.
No boyfriend, no fiance talk more of a husband.
I don't have any friend and I don't know to make any friend for as a result of I trying to find my feet in life, I have had, experienced, seen and heard nasty behaviours of human. I keep people at arms length. I am afraid of an average human for I believe anybody can do anything even things you don't expect of them.

I already observed that slaying and all the girlie ish is obviously not a part of me as i prefer to brainstorm and think of how to expand my business which I know an average lady my age, that is the least of her worries.

I know I need a man in my life. I don't know if it's a stereotype but I think ages 24-26 is the right age (as i have made to believe) a woman should at be at least settled Maritally. How do I go about getting a man to date and marry? Where are the places I should go to? Remember I said I have NO friends so no wedding invitations.

Am I stressing myself? But I am almost 25 and no man and truly in my hearts of hearts I know I want to be a wife someday and have a good family so need to lie about anything. Where do ladies meet their boyfriends? Not the playboys or those with pulled down shorts.

Please what do I do? What are the places to go? I tried hanging out to places for drink but you know how it feels and looks for a young lady to sit out on her own.

P.S. Yes I am not desperate but I am concerned.

Did i make a mistake by holding my life first instead of being all what the social media ladies are?

I just opened an Instagram account yesterday and still don't know how to use the app or what to do there. You can imagine the kind of lady I have become. Yes I can dress neat and combine my wears. Forget ugly, I ain't. I could do a nice make up on my face when ever I have 2 hours to spare. Never a boring fella. I just don't know how to find someone I could share all the happiness, joy and street wise advise with.
Please help me. I am so lonely. I only come on nairaland whenever I am bored. Enough said.

I am open to questions. Any at all.
U can reach me on omobaonireke@gmail.com let talk
