Senate Leader, Senator Ali Ndume on Tuesday in his prayer that Nigerian men be allow to marry more than one wife so as to show care to them, met stiff resistance from other members of the Senate, especially the females Senators.

Ndume made this request while making additional prayers to a motion on World Women’s Day.

Contributing to the debate on a motion to mark the International Women’s Day presented by Oluremi Tinubu, a senator from Lagos State, Ndume emphasised that the “first care” of woman was marriage, adding: “I urge men to marry more than one wife.

“The first care of a woman is marriage. “Men should take care of women by not just befriending them, but by going further to
marry them.

“I know there is no where in the Bible that prohibits marrying more than one wife.
“Starting with the Senate president, I ask him to consider marrying more than one wife.”

Ndume, thereafter, made a formal request to the Senate to declare that Nigerian men should marry more than one wife.

“As a sign of respect for women, let’s urge men to marry more than one wife,” he said.
His prayer was seconded by Suleiman Nazif, a senator from Bauchi State.

But it did not sail through as the “nays” had it. Earlier, presenting her motion, Tinubu said: “We represent courage and resilience.
“Without us, I don’t think this country will move forward.”

Also speaking in supporting of the motion, Binta Masi Garba, a senator from Adamawa State, took a shot at Ndume and said: “We are not sex objects.

“Bible is in support of one man, one woman. “We want gender parity.

“Where women and men can work side by side.”

Don't mind him. This goes to show that the reason why most of them marries more than one wife is to keep them as sex slaves and not as a result of love.

Dont they have better things to delibrate abt? Mad people!

And that Ndume wants to be Senate President.

That ram Senator Ndume is a disgrace,
The North's greatest problem, is that majority of it leaders and learned men are in support of polygamy and are always against population control and family planning

They marry more than in africa
