Our fathers married up to 10 wives, but modern women can’t even stand a second wife – Journalist laments

Nigerian broadcaster, Emmanuel Onyeka Okoh also known as Okwuluora, has expressed disappointment with the change in marital norms.

He asserted that women of today cannot stand to be in a marriage with a second wife whereas in the yester days, our forefathers were marrying betwee 3 to 20 wives who all lived together peacefully and loved each other.

Emmanuel who shared his thoughts through Facebook was full of criticism towards modern women for not being more accepting of polygamy, and not respecting their husbands like it used to be in the past.

The media practitioner, who described the situation as a ‘sad’ one wondered where the women ‘learnt such wickedness’ which is in contrast of the traits their mothers exhibited.

He wrote; “Our Fathers married 3 to 10 wives and all of them loved each other & also maximum respect for the husband! Ladies of today can’t even stand a second wife. Anya Ufu. Where una learn this wickedness from. Your Mothers were so good & accommodating. This is so SAD”.
