can you just imagine?The worst thing that can happen to any man is to marry more than one wife....no matter how much they try to make it look like all is well na lie,if the wives dont fight the kids end up doing just that,especially the Ladies...The rivalry is too much!!!
I don't know when they will understand that one wife pays, you have rest of mind with one woman.
ReplyDeleteEvery African man should be allowed to make his learned choice. If divorce can be applauded here to the norm, then I see absolutely no wrong in taking as many lawfully wedded wives as possible. Shikena.
DeleteStella you are right. I served in the North and in a hospital for that. Anytime I see these wives/co-wives coming to the hospital, it is disaster. Talk about HBP, sleepless nights and other weird complaints. Anyone that had such complaints has a co-wife. It is terrible. The men will be pretending that the ladies are at peace while the opposite is the case.
ReplyDeleteAngry people everywhere
ReplyDeleteHope it wasn't a fight that led to that?
ReplyDeletePeople should know when to draw the line from whatever that leads to fight or argument.
You just saw the headline and rushed to comment without reading.
DeleteJust imagine!!!such wickedness and Hatred.Thank God the baby made it, Rip to the dead
ReplyDeleteChaiii Rip To her...
ReplyDeleteImagine such wickedness!!
ReplyDeleteMarrying more than one wife is not the worst thing to happen to a man o.
The stupid woman would be gone for a long time. By the time she returns from prison, her husband would have moved ahead.
Oh my God! You women, why are you like this for crying out LOUD!You are always quick to judge your fellow women and leave the man (main culprit) out of it. Would the woman have done that if the man didnt marry another woman? Just pray that you dont find yourself in that kind of marriage.
DeleteVery sad. I'm sure she's already regretting her action. Some women and rivalry are 5 & 6, see what hers has cost her.
ReplyDeleteWicked souls everywhere..
ReplyDeleteRip to her...
I don't believe she meant to push her co-wife into the well. Things happen. In moments of extreme anger you really cant predict your actions. the co-wife might just be beside the well and gbam! devil used her!
ReplyDeleteI don't think so either. Please, we need to have self control.
DeleteHaving 2wives in the same house is just a big disaster, rip to the dead
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to start the year.
