The argument that children in a polygamous house are
always at each other’s throat does not hold water.
Many siblings of monogamous families are known to
have had worse and irresolvable, irreconcilable
squabble, with dirty bitterness over inheritance than
children from different mothers.
The agony suffered by both men and women in the
hand of unnatural laws and doctrines is too stifling
for comfort. In 2002, 502 Reverend mothers were
reported to have died while procuring abortion in
Rome. Nigerian Tribune wrote an editorial on the
unfortunate incident. And stories of Reverend
fathers having children and sodomising young men in
their care are legion! Why the hypocrisy?
Why should the world continue to live the life of
Ostrich?
A well known Nigerian journalist hid his other wives
from his wife because his religion would not permit of
it and his wife, living in monogamy should not hear of
it. At his funeral service, other wives surfaced and
the woman parading the ring collapsed. It was the
grace of God that prevented double interment that
day!
The Western world which had not learnt the art of
living amicably with more than one partner under the
same roof has indulged in multiple serial marriages,
divorcing innocent wives under flimsy excuses so that
another woman can move in should not be measure of
standard for the world. Thank God Hillary Clinton in
the US and Mrs Cook in England were very much
wiser. They refused to allow "some indiscretion" on
the part of their husbands to ruin their marriages.
