A close friend told me that a few years back, they were very poor. But after his dad married a second wife, they become wealthy. He said its the second wife that's producing the money thru some "skeletons in the wardrobe" (hope you know what i mean). The pop spends a lot on the seconds wife, but sends peanuts to his mom. He said most wealthy polygamous families are like that- the men MUST NOT spend on their first wife and kids or the money would stop flowing. Does that mean today's men now marry second wives coz of dirty money? Nairalanders, pls bare your minds on this

pls explain,whats that? i mean what kind of skeleton, human or animal (if you know what i mean).

many go into polygamy for many reasons, childlessness, male son, power, money, se,x without any restrictions, religious/cultural reasons and the last one you listed, financially gain through sucking dry the second wife
