Folashade Okoya married Razaq Okoya at the age of 21, at the time when her husband was 59 years old.The couple resides in Lagos, Nigeria with their four children, Olamide, Subomi, Oyinlola and Wahab.
But that’s not the story, As at the time Razaq met her she only had a National Diploma she got from Lagos State Polytechnic..
That’s not all, she was proposed to by Razaq to to marry her and Razaq did not say much and she accepted..
Please kindly note at that time Razaq was another woman’s husband(women) but Shade didn’t care..
She’s is now celebrating 25 years in marriage. The women who insulted Shade in 1998 are not even as close as successful as Shade..
In fact till date there is no marriage ever recorded in Nigeria or any where in the world where a woman married two men same time and the men became as successful as Shade
Show me one I will delete this post. That’s the level of benevolence that comes with men..
If you check all the rich men in the world who had practiced polygamy none have ever become poor from the practice..
This is why an old man once said, a good prayer from one wife is not stronger compared to a good prayer of 2 or 3 wives
According to an ecologist named Virpi Lumma,at the university of Sheffield, UK he says that men aged over 60 from 140 countries that practice Polygamy to a varying degrees lived an average of 12% longer than men from 49 most monogamous nations..
In Nigeria alone, it’s recorded that only 3% of men had died below 60 that practiced polygamy to a certain degree..
These statistics is because for every man that takes a woman away from the streets as second wife, you do not only cover her shame, you provide food, shelter and other basic amenities and also relieve her of spiritual sufferings of hunting for mens decision to find her worthy as a wife..
The men on the other hand, are more ingrained in the joy both families brings and the diversity of culture, advise and collaboration that the family tends to enjoy for the good ones..
There is a huge possibility that Ned Nwoko will reach more than 100 years than Emeka the trader in Alaba market dealing on spare parts that the wife doesn’t respect at home because she claims the money he’s bringing is too small..
I support Polygamy in Nigeria because the ones who practiced it have brought out women out of poverty, strife, heart break and emotional dismemberment although when it comes to investing in women and transforming their lives, men with plethora of side chicks still hold sway.
