Sexual urge of some men is just too much, and also the way some ladies just throw themselves at some men this days is something else. My problem is procreating stupidly. This men just want to enjoy THEIR lives regardless of the problem they leave behind. Lastly, people talk of Time management, its not how you manage ur time, its how you manage urself. You go about having 7kids becos of custom and tradition ur a big fool, having 4 wives ("u be hilux" in MI's voice) cos ur now a chevron staff |

Its funny how Nigerians dont think. What ever people say the population is growing too fast for the economy, thus more people will be left in poverty. If a rich man eho has 4 children by one woman already takes another wife and has 4 more kids he is selfish as his extra kids will be using services that could otherwise go to another family. If a pooer man has 4 kids and takes another wife has more kids his is an idio.t and selfish he cannot afford to take care of his first progeny yet he goes and inflicts poverty on more innocent souls. |

Re: Polygamy: Why Men Marry More Wives. by lastpage: 1:21am On Mar 20, 2015 |
We all jump to conclusions because we dont actually examine the "problem"! 1.) Was man (humans) actually created to be monogamous? If we were created from that "bang" it mustn't be just a single or small bang..... it must be "banging repeatedly" (joke) It appears to me, that having more than one mate during a life time, is the innate behaviour of "most" males, even amongst lower animals? Why do we think "man" should be an exception to this general rule? 2.) Despite "Western ideas" about marriage, Western marriages have failed to succeed at monogamy, as many of them have more than one wife/husband, during their life time! Why is there a quest and desire to "kpekus" more than one man or more than one woman.... in the life span of a humanbeing? (Serial Monogamy) Now, you might argue that "divorce and re-marry" is not monogamy but think deeper and you will see that it is actually a worse-form of polygamy as some men/women are rendered "used" ...and it does not really favor a woman to serially marry and re-marry over and over again. It is just a "legal solution" that deals with the problems associated with "inheritance".... but it does not change from the "practice and fact" of polygamy. 3.) Listening to the Women's day celebration message, facts show that there are more girls in schools nowadays, more women around, more female child births..... more and more women everywhere Now, l may be wrong but l guess it is the dream of most if not all women, to one day, settle down with their own husband? if all these women decide to take "one man" to each self, ............or put in the corollary, if all the men decide to take just one woman out of all these women, for themselves...WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TONS OF WOMEN LEFT UNMARRIED ...and who desire to marry and have a family of their own? Tough luck for them, abi? 4.) Is it actually a "Christian Sin" to marry more than one wife? I have read about "implied statements" like "keep the marriage bed holy" and stuffs like that but l have never seen it anywhere, (except the ADVICE for a "titled christian" to be the husband of one wife. That is specifically addressed to the "tilted" Christian.) where it is said that Polygamy is a sin! From Abraham the father of nations (if it was a sin, Sarah would not even dream of the idea ...and Abraham would not even concede to it, to marry a second wife), to David the "Apple of Gods eye", to Solomon whom God gave a "blank Cheque to ask for ANYTHING" .... just to mention the THREE MOST-LOVED MEN BY GOD, in the Bible, who were Polygamous and it never stopped or impeded their relationship with God! So, are we more Holy than any of these three? Abegi, watch your side o! ![]() Now, there is an element of selfishness in Polygamy [/b]and not surprisingly, it is the same woman (once she can hook a husband for herself), who thinks what befalls her fellow woman as regards getting married is NOT HER BUSINESS! ![]() Like a "prize" a woman wants to keep her her husband to herself ONLY.... No Sharing!! ![]() ![]() [b]But instead of women accepting that the "selfishness" is about them, they shift the blame on the men! ![]() They say the man that wants to marry more than one wife is selfish, huh? ![]() BTW; What works for the white man "culturally", may not work for the African man because the "cultural values" that we embrace may be/ is different! What a white woman values most in a marriage is not necessarily what a Nigerian woman will value the most, in her own marriage! same with the comparisons of white men and African men! So, instead of Africans being forced to embrace the ways of the white men as "better", why dont they for once, embrace our own ways... or do we still think we are inferior in EVERYTHING, even in marriage values? In summary, l think what ever "pleasure or woes" that is found in a polygamous marriage... is also found in some monogamous marriage.... just that the "enemy chosen' may be different! ![]() Just name it, from STI's, to hate, envy, avarice, jealousy, murder, e.t.c.... if it is not the other wife, it is the husbands sister or the Mother-in-law, e.t.c Okay now, if my wife reads this post, she would start a "big discussion" tomorrow! ![]() Lastpage! 10 Likes |

The sooner people accept that men are polygamous by nature, the better. If ploygamy becomes illegal or women start making too much noise about it, lots of men will just stop marrying and have several lovers. Women need the tag of "Mrs" than a man needs marriage. Men who are GENUINELY monogamous do so out of principle. In the West where polygamy is illegal, adultery is probably the most common cause of divorce. So despite the severe consequences of divorce on men's part, they still play away. Lots of women in monogamous relationships cheat too. So Western monogamy is not all it has been cracked up to be. With about 50% divorce rate, it has failed honestly. Btw I grew up in a monogamous home. |
