Opak001:
Who will now be responsible for the children and their wellbeing

TMKsouth:


The article mentions the tribe in Nigeria that practiced this but mentioned it was abolished in the 60s. I mentioned this in that original post.

TMKsouth:
Polyandry in Nigeria

Although largely uncommon in Nigeria, there are tribes in Nigeria that also allow polyandry. Among the Irigwe of Northern Nigeria, women have traditionally acquired numerous spouses called “co-husbands”. The Irigwe people of Nigeria practiced a woman having co-husbands until their council voted to outlaw it in 1968. Until then, women moved from house to house, taking on multiple spouses, and the children’s paternity was assigned to the husband whose house the woman lived in at the time.

And you think they're no wealthy women that can take care of the wellbeing of two men and children?

I am totally in support of this law by South Africa. Women have been cheated of their rights by men from creation. This's actually what the feminists should be calling for worldwide if they ever want to reset men's psyche towards women on a global scale.

NairaMaster1:


We are talking about today you're talking about 1960s

Can you tell us where there's a polyandry in Nigeria today?

BRATISLAVA:


And you would think they are getting westernized. Rather they are picking what favors their gender over what betters the world.

Elidrisy20:
which Northern Nigeria, no come they blow rubbish for here abeg

24brains:
ok that means no individual children for the men? A reason it makes no sense

TMKsouth:


Not all men want children, especially not 4! You should also understand that on average South Africans have far less children than Nigerians. So a law like this can work better in SA.

24brains:
as an ally, let's reason together. When a woman is given such privilege, she will abuse it.
There will be a lot of murder cases in the system. Maternal death Will be a problem too. Imagine a woman getting married to four men. And each of them want 4 kids from the woman. How far? How many years will it take to accomplish the mission following child spacing for a healthy womb ?

24brains:
yes not all men want children, but every married man wants a child. Else they will erect pillars to answer their names like a king in the bible. Instead of a woman using me as an intimacy gadget, I will rather buy a sex doll.

Imagine a woman between the ages of 21 and 40, 19 years, has about 2 kids each with 3 men, 6 in total.
[s:
Each man takes responsibility for his kids while she is free to make ample use of her fertility.

That way, women with fertility issues can free themselves. [/s]

Saintmary:


Actually, the more you argue against polyandry, the more I see the sense in it.

Scream abomination all you want, but it makes a lot of sense.

TMKsouth:


I don't see how a woman in this sort of marriage can't give each man at least one child. I was arguing against why those men would want 4 children each, which was your argument against this law.

24brains:
we are on the same page. Not every man need just one child. He needs children

TMKsouth:


No, we are not on the same page. I'm saying if u want one child u might get it. If u want 2 then you begin to calculate how many other husbands there are, because if there are too many men you should make peace with having just one child. She's not a baby making mega-factory.

ramdris:
SA is a land of oddness.. Dunno why I so dislike that country... They were better of during apartheid .....

24brains:
if she's not a baby making factory, then she's a sex object. She can't escape either.

TMKsouth:


I don't think you're the sort of guy these ladies would marry anyway, so just let them be and go your own way. But don't stand in their way to self determination and equality, it makes no difference to how u live your life.

24brains:
yes because am not a simp. And I take no shit.

24brains:
so each man take responsibility for his kid while the woman keep bleeping around? Give a woman a chance and she will abuse it.

Not surprised one bit. South African ladies are probably the most promiscuous set of females in Africa. I still remember how easy it was to get laid there back in 2014

Cool, I get that.

I prefer liberal governance - it considers and protects other people's worldviews, especially minorities and the vulnerable.

I hope you checked yourself for STDs... Because that country has a high number of HIV/AIDS carriers
