A Nigerian-Romanian broadcaster and radio talk show host, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze believes that Nigerian women should be allowed to marry second husbands just like their male counterparts are allowed to marry second wives.
This is coming after a Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie revealed that he has a second wife.
“Perhaps, just to strike a fair balance, our women ought to start marrying second husbands.

For once, let’s stop tilting scripture and tradition in the favor of misogyny and patriarchy. Rather, we should embrace the words of Christ that clearly state:
–
◄ Matthew 22:39 ►
New Living Translation
A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

If we were to follow this devoid of prejudice and stereotyping, then it would make absolute sense if women could also have other husbands. Because if you truly loved your wife as much as you loved yourself; like scripture instructs, then why shouldn’t she be polygamous if you opt to be?”
