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.

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

Obasanjo tells youths, Fight for Nigeria’s survival.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has told youths to take up the responsibility and effect the needed change in Nigeria instead of blaming the previous generations for the nation’s decay. The former President said this at the 100th-year anniversary of Ijero Baptist Church in Lagos on Sunday. Obasanjo said the generation before him fought for Nigeria’s independence while his generation fought for Nigeria’s unity during the civil war. He said the subsequent generation also fought for democracy. Obasanjo, therefore, said it was time for the next generation to make its own contribution to national development instead of complaining. He said, “Recently, a son of my friend looked at everything around him and got angry and went to meet his dad who is my age mate. He told his father that our generation is a lost one. The father did not pay him any attention so he came to meet me. “He told me what he told his father and justified it by telling me that he went...

Most Nigeria popular Food

Nigeria is a blessed country. We are blessed with diverse rich culture and food. Nigerians both at home and the diaspora always love their food because of how unique and delicious it is. You are free to add to the list because this list is based on my research. Feel free to salivate.... It's allowed. RICE AND STEW This happens to be my second favourite meal funny enough. It is called Sunday food by most people because although people prepare rice and stew on a normal day, it is most commonly prepared on Sundays. The rice is boiled white and served with stew made from tomatoes and other ingredients. I did a research on how different people prepare stew and it turns out that there are different ways of making stew. But 70% of Nigerians prepare is with tomato, onion, vegetable oil/palm oil. It's definitely one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. POUNDED YAM Pounded yam is one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. What Nigerian man hates pounded yam? We don't joke with ...
