A young man described how his older brother booked a side room at the same resort as his wife when they were on their honeymoon for his other woman.
On Twitter, a person going by the handle Osaretin Victor Asemota posted the tale. He claimed that when his brother’s wife learned that her husband had brought his side chic to the same resort, she accepted her faith and shared her spouse.
He explained how the marriage later broke but that his older brother’s adultery caused him to become a polygamist.
In his words;
“Just randomly remembered that one of our egbons paid for his side chic to also be a lodger at the resort where he had his honeymoon. Same time.
Wife discovered and accepted her fate as a co-wife. Nigerian men and their audacity when it comes to infidelity is 🤯. Marriage failed.
He decided to become a full polygamist eventually. He is not hiding it anymore. Honestly, I believe that is better for everyone.
He is not a Christian and doesn’t believe in any religion. He is now living life on his own terms instead of what his parents wanted for him.
I think that a lot of African men prefer polygamy secretly but can’t afford it or are afraid of what people may say. Personally, I don’t like it as I don’t see any upside. However, there are many successful polygamists. I met a wealthy Muslim family in Ikeja during NYSC.
