People define marriage as the union between a man and a woman, however, this union can occur more than once in a lifetime. Although various forms of marriages exist, there are 2 major types of marriages practised in Nigeria. We have monogamy, whereby a man gets married to one wife and we also have polygamy, whereby a man can get married to more than one wife. The practice or custom of having more than one wife at the same time is definitely not new in this part of the world.

However, with more and more infusion of western culture diluting the African culture, young African women are kicking back and against the idea of them having to share their husband with their husbands, forcing men more and more to have mistresses, babymamas and side-chics instead of just marrying another wife. But the truth is that the Nigerian laws are not against a man having more than one wife, and so some particular public Nigerian figures and celebrities are taking the bull by the horn and having more than one wife with the reckless abandon of the western cultural influence on the modern Nigerian women. Having more than one wife specifically is one thing many even see as a good thing, because it shows that the man in question, is capable and able, to handle more than one woman. Having more than one wife again can even be said to be a kingly act because most kings have more than one wife.
