A man has stirred reactions online after sharing how he would feel if Nigerian women started marrying more than one husband, just as some men marry multiple wives.
His comment has sparked a fresh debate about double standards in marriage.
According to him, the thought of sharing a wife emotionally or hearing her express affection for another partner is disturbing. He said he would struggle to cope.
“If Nigerian women start marrying two husbands like the men, I don’t think I can cope. Imagine passing our wife’s room and hear her screaming ‘oh daddy you are so sweet, I wish it’s your turn everyday, I will soon send that useless man away,’ I fit die.”
The internet is reacting. Some people are laughing. Others are pointing out the double standard.
One person wrote: “So men can marry four wives, but women cannot marry two husbands? Make it make sense.”
Another said: “He said ‘our wife’s room.’ He is already imagining the worst.”
Someone else added: “This is funny but also true. Many men would not survive polyandry.”
The conversation has opened up a bigger debate about gender roles, cultural expectations, and fairness in marriage.
