Maina And King’angi In The Morning: Would You Accept If Your Husband Asked To Marry A Second Wife?

Today Maina and King’ang’i are discussing polygamy. and the example that he has used is Dalmas Otieno whgo married his third wife over the weekend and all his wives were in attendance to support their husband. No stress, no fuss, no drama! No wife turning up with a baby in tow to protest the wedding! He did everything like a true man -nay, a true African man should! He did everything above board!

And the debate that came up was from women saying that they wopuld prefer to live in ignorant bliss where their husband runs around town with other women but aslong as he does it like a spineless little boy playing games they are alright!
One woman whom I shall call “bad news” called in to say that she has been married for ten years and she isn’t going to accept another wife into her home. she was rather eloquent in her pronouncements that her husband cheats on her and she is well aware but the day he decides to settle down with one of his little girlfriends is the day she walks out.


Her argument was about as sensible as gibberish because she said that that wife would have a boyfriend who would have a girlfriend and the chain would be a web in no time which would result in some STIs… Yeah, because your hubby running around will not get you a disease alot faster yeh?
Another caller, a more sensible lady said that these days, every married man has a “mpango wa kando” and she would rather her man brought her home so they can get acquainted. that way, she can protect her family. sensible woman.


men were rather antagonistic though saying that a woman has nothing to do with his decision to marry a second and third wife but she should accept that he is trying to be honest and upfront.
Personally, I feel that a man worth the title should have a back bone! He needs to be honest! You tell your wife of your decision to date and possibly marry another woman. And I am speaking something I personally understand seeing as I am an avowed polygamist.

What would you do ladies? would you rather your man comes to you top inform you that he will be marrying another wife and he wants you to be part of the ceremony or would you rather he cheats behind your back?
