Polygamy




If there is a Nollywood actress I really like then Funke Akindele, she was brilliant in Jenifa was funny in the music video of Wizkid "Pakurumo" . She was honored in 2009 as Best Actress in a Leading Role. Why such a successful woman decides to live polygamy? I know that in Africa, polygamy is not only tolerated but sometimes forced. Many families in Africa, suffer from polygamy, siblings are fighting to death, wifes hate each other passionately. I wonder why we stick to such values. Clearly outweigh the disadvantages. One can not give the men alone to blame, because often pushes the own mother that her son must marry another women. A man who is just making ends meet with what he earned, can not afford a second wife! If the second woman also gets children, then it is irresponsible in my opinion! Most children suffer in these circumstances because it will all be held on their backs. They have to starve, the atmosphere is usually aggressive, the Education is poor or not available, parents have no time for their children. There is an ongoing battle between the women competitors, who has the most children, who cooks the best, who provides the best sex, which is the most beautiful woman...

That's why I do not like polygamy! I believe that women like Funke Akindele should be a role model for us women. Are you grew up in a polygamous family, if so what experience you had? What reasons are there for polygamy?
