Polygamy is never a sin in the Bible

Traditionally and religious wise, there is nothing wrong with polygamy. The love for material things is the cause of the jealousy plotted by the West to curtail African growth.  If you read the Bible very well, you will see that polygamy is one of the mechanisms God designed to make sure that every lady/ woman that wants to get married does so. I advise you to do your own independent research on it and you will concur with me. That was the path I took.
It will not surprise you that the major actors of the Bible are polygamous. Few of them are Moses, Gideon, Ezra, Abraham, Jacob, Caleb, Solomon, Simeon, Zedekiah, Elkanah, Abijah, Jehoram and Manasseh.
It is recorded in the Bible that God had a wonderful relationship with these people, disciplining them for various transgressions but not for marrying more than one wife. When people say polygamy is a sin, I often ask, how, from where in the Bible? The answer they will give are usually tenuous, lack substance and a mismatch of
Bible passages. Moses saw God, we are still claiming Abraham’s Blessings.
The most powerful verse in the Bible that shows that God designed and approved of polygamy is in 2ndSamuel 12:8. It reads : “And I GAVE thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s WIVES into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if thatchad been too LITTLE, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.”
The word was given out by God to David after He committed adultery with Bathsheba, wife of Uriah the Hittite. At this point in David’s life, David had already been married to at least SEVEN known- named wives. (1_Samuel 18:27, 25:42-43, 2_Samuel 3:2-5.). God condemned David for committing adultery – going to bed with another man’s wife and re-confirmed that if David wanted more WIVES, God will GIVE him more WOMEN instead of sleeping
with another man’s wife.
Monogamy emanates from Roman Empire, do your research on it. Before then, most societies including the early Christians were polygamous.
Throughout the history of mankind, the number of MARRIABLE females are always higher than the number of MARRIABLE  male.
Look  around your family, your office, your church or mosque, your neighborhood,  do your research on this and you will confirm it.
The only exception is in China and India where women abort female foetus. In a natural course of human development,  MARRIABLE female population always outstrips MARRIABLE male population. Do your research, go to our Universities, ask the Sociology Lecturers or Professors, they will confirm it to you.
The Christian houses (especially Pentecostals) that are strongly monogamous have been milking the female population out of this forced anomaly by  organising different programmes to help the female folks. Some Orthodox Churches and African churches from which Pentecostals came out from, allow Polygamous Unions.
The more the spread of Pentecostalism, the more the challenge of unmarried adults. We are only leaving leprosy to cure rashes.
Before the advent of the strong wave of Pentecostal in Africa and Nigeria in particular and its strong monogamous teachings, you will hardly find a woman without a husband. The most is that she will be married as a Second or Third wife, have her Children and live her life.
The excuse given are that the wives will be fighting or always fight. There are both positive and negative examples on both side of Monogamous and Polygamous Setting.
Find it out, the societies that are mostly monogamous have the highest rate of divorce compared to societies that are polygamous. Why? I will keep the answer to myself.
Talk to a lady that really wants to get married, and you will know the kind of pressure that she is into. She will be told to wait, pray, fast, look nice, smile more, be humble more. What angers me more is what is being taught, that for every woman, there is a man. I hear it mostly on Sundays. IT IS BLANTANT LIE. Refer to my
point Seven (7) stated above.
Polygamy is a mechanism God has given unto to us. Mankind has always used it to solve this natural population challenge. It is a union only the BOLD will admit. We are only ignoring it at our own peril, and for the benefit of those people making money from it – organising Singles Summit and Deliverance Sessions.
Go and ask family members of those that have ladies in their thirties and forties not married. It is a CONSTANT SERIOUS PAIN in the heart. The fault is not only that of the lady, but every one of us.
But because of what people will say, because of what Pastor or “Mummy” will say, for the fear of excommunication, not being allowed to take Holy Communion again, losing the privilege of their religious setting, she will stay put.
The Bold of the female folks are now taking unusual steps. You see a few with pregnancies. Don’t ask them foolish questions, they are only emancipating themselves from the shackles that we all
have put them into. For those that want to condemn them, I pray that they or their daughters will not be in such a situation to take such drastic step.
If a man has the ABILITY and CAPACITY to marry more than one
wife, and he wants to do so, let him do so intimating and seeking the consent his first or prior wives.

In summary, no matter what others or society are saying, the buck stop with you, take the best decision for yourself.

Why some people ‘glue together’ during sex

Recently, the international media were awash with the story of an Italian couple whose genitals got stuck together during sex in the waters of a Porto San Giorgio beach in Italy. The duo remained locked until a woman with a towel came and helped the pair walk to the shore where a medic, called by beachgoers, brought them to a local hospital before they could be separated. Despite the fact that this incident sounds like a scene from a trashy pornographic comedy, stories of couples getting stuck during sex are real. Though it seemed logically impossible and downright outlandish, a handful of couples have been reported to have gotten ‘glued together’ during sexual intercourse. Such cases have been recorded in Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Although many couples may experience problems after sex such as migraines, heart problems and even memory loss, the penis getting stuck into the vagina during intercourse, especially in the missionary position, is one th...

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples. Ingredients needed for a Nutritious Ebiripo Cocoyam Soya beans Ground fresh P...

Kemi Adeosun resigned her job

Kemi Adeosun, the minister of finance, resigned her appointment so as not to be a baggage to President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid, her associates have told TheCable. Daily Trust broke the news of her resignation on Friday following a report by Premium Times that she presented a forged NYSC exemption certificate as part of her credentials. But TheCable learnt that she was still working in her office as at noon on Friday, casting doubts on her resignation. However, two of her close associates told TheCable that she “toed the path of honour by choosing to step down so that her NYSC issue will not be used against the president and the party” in the 2019 electioneering. “Posterity will judge her for going the honourable thing by resigning,” one of the associates said. However, many have argued that she should have resigned long before now after Premium Times broke the story of her certificate scandal. The presidency is yet to officially confirm her resignation. Calls to her spokespe...
