Georgina Onuoha urges Yul Edochie to stop justifying his indiscretion and rest

Georgina Onuoha, a Nollywood actress, has chastised Yul Edochie for claiming that marrying a second wife gave him favours.

In an Instagram post, Yul Edochie said that marrying a second wife was a godsend for him and his wives.

In an open letter on Instagram, Yul Edochie’s colleague Georgina Onuoha claimed Yul Edochie still has no acceptable cause for marrying another woman without the approval of his first wife May, and urged him to stop bringing up his polygamous concerns on social media.
“I appreciate that you recognised you harmed your wife, May @mayyuledochie,” she wrote.
“I also don’t recall hearing that marrying a second wife is a crime.” This is permissible in our culture, and some Christians have multiple wives. There’s a reason why it’s said that “procedure and intent are both important.”

“It’s one thing to conceive another woman (adultery) while still married, without sharing your wish to marry a second wife with your wife, as our customs require.”

“Given that you’re invoking our polygamy customs, have you forgotten that such engagements are governed by rules?”

“Most of us are descended from polygamous parents. Who is going to tell you that their moms brought the new wife home for their husbands as a proof of her blessings?”
“I’m sure you’re aware of our traditions and culture.” Taking a second wife while still married is not honourable; it is termed adultery, and God has punished most of the great individuals in the Bible you are quoting for such deeds.”

“The worst type of breach of trust is marrying the same lady without your wife’s knowledge until she discovers it on social media via a blog.” What you did, Eyin, was anything but honourable. When they aren’t ready, you don’t force them into polygamy. Make a choice for them. “Polygamy isn’t for everyone.”

“So you failed both historically and biblically.”

“Don’t use religion and tradition to excuse your wrongdoings. You failed on both accounts. Our father in faith, Abraham, received permission from his wife Sarah to sleep with Hagar, the slave girl.”

“When David slept with Bethsheba and killed their firstborn child as a result of their infidelity, God punished him.” There are several examples of adultery and its ramifications in the Bible.”

“What you did did not glorify our culture and customs since you did it with impunity and complete contempt for your wife’s humanity.” I’m sure you wouldn’t be singing the same song about obtaining greater popularity and her getting endorsement if the tables were changed.”
