I was very protected, I was very loved, and I was very well taken care of. 10 children, 3 wives. Big salute to my bloodline. I’m close to all my siblings, but there are levels of closeness. I don’t know any other way, it is boring. If I come back to this life again, I want to come back to the same family. How can I be in a house with one mother, and one father? Ah ah, then all of us will now be sitting down there. Ah ah. There’s no chaos. In my house there is love, but we change it oh! Cuz ah, the person wey born us dey crase sha. Do you know what it is to hear gunshots and go to where the gunshots are? That’s not normal. My father was very wise. It was like he planned his future, and then he planned his death. So before he died, his wives knew about everything. He taught them everything one of my mothers knows how to shoot. He taught them how to be and when he passed, they used the skill. That’s how our family was still able to be intact even after my dad passed.”

According to him, polygamy is not as ‘pretty and nice’ as he portrays it on social media; while disclosing the numerous fights and jealousy his two wives portray at home.
This comment from the pastor comes after a follower asked if his polygamous marriage was rosy.
He said;
“I never said polygamy is easy. I mean, I live polygamy daily, I know it’s ups and down. I am not the standard of polygamy, my failures and successes do not guarantee anything to any other person out there,” he said.
“If I fail, it does not mean you will fail. I have done so many things people told me I can’t do and aced them. We live once…if you strongly believe in something, do it. At least you would have tried.”
He further said;
“Just like any family out there, we fight, and I came across a few fights! We also differ on certain issues! From simple things as naming of kids to investments! It’s a whole array of feelings! We don’t like our past, or the past! We do everything in our power to avoid the past, but this morning I realized that my past, my past with my wives have so many beautiful memories.
“Once in a while, sit alone and revisit your past with your partner, there are so many good memories over there! What is happening right now does not represent everything about you guys, at times, use your past as a spring board to love each other again! I love you Kagiso. I love you Mpho.”

"Life was hell" - Lady shares bitter experience growing up in polygamous home

File Photo The young took to her Facebook page to share a piece of advice from her bitter experience while describing life in a polygamous home as “hell”. According to her, because of her bitter experience, she will never befriend any woman who is a second wife to any man. She disclosed how she was severely maltreated alongside her siblings by her second wife. She added that a polygamous home has no beauty and brings disunity. In her words; “POLYGAMOUS HOME IS WHAT I FEAR MOST. I grew up in a polygamy family where life was like a hell for me then I prayed that may I live never to have anything to do with a polygamist and never to be friends with a woman who is a second wife just because of my experience as a daughter of a first wife who was maltreated alongside her sons and daughters. There was no fair treatment in the family where I grew up I promised myself so many things than in which love of Christ has helped shaped away,” she narrated. “Come to think of it polygamy from the beginning has always not brought or added any beauty to the home if not pain and disunity.
Let’s see from the bible Abraham, Sarah, and Hagai are people of faith that we look up to but, they were not able to handle the pressure of polygamy.
Also, Jacob was privileged to get married to the daughter of the same father and same mother but, his family was a place of competition, quarrel, and jealousy when Leah will always feel left out by their husband’s love, giving out their slave girls to their husband to sleep with in other to see who have more children. “If not for God’s intervention his generation will have lost it when his sons almost kill Joseph who was to later be their savior in times of famine so many things related to a polygamy lifestyle that I don’t wish my worst enemy to be involved in it. “My advice to young men and women that are yet to marry do everything possible in your part to avoid the polygamy lifestyle.”

Nigerian broadcaster and radio talk show host, Daddy Freeze has taken a swipe at actor Yul Edochie shortly after the latter appealed for Nigerians to unite for his presidential bid.
The on-air personality, who reacted to Yul’s appeal, asked the actor to first unite his polygamous family before seeking the unity of Nigerians.

Yul Edochie’s polygamous controversy follows the announcement of his colleague and mother of his son, Judy Moghalu as his second wife.
This morning, he shared a post on his Instagram page asking Nigerians to unite and help him buy his presidential form, thus Daddy Freeze’s reaction.

“My dear brother, unite your polygamous home first, before coming to ask for public groom price. Which one is: “buy form for me”, seriously? After annoying a whole nation? After what you did to your wife of 16 years, we should now trust you?” Freeze wrote.

I’m always honest and faithful and my exes had left because I told them that I wanted to add one more. I don’t want to cheat, I want to add and coincidentally blessings just came my way when I wanted them,”

Stevo revealed that he’s been in the relationship with the triplet sisters for two months and he’s hopefully that eventually, they’d blossom into a big family.
“Its barely two months and we are living a day at a time. We learn from one another; we are taking our time… I kiss and I don’t tell so expect surprises because I don’t like exposing my family so much”
Concerning the rationing of time, the triplets disclosed they have timetable which indicates who spends the time with him.
They said:
“The three of us we are enough for him and we are not going to allow him to bring another one. So it’s a happy family,”
Their boyfriend added:
“Why do people doubt the fact of me satisfying three ladies, there is no big deal. So for me just a week, they are three. Every Monday ni Mary, Tuesday ni Cate and Eve ni Wednesday. Then on weekend we meet all of us and have a good time.”
