Only Wife Of A Poor Man Or Second Wife Of A Rich Man? by Abujafood: 12:25pm On Dec 04, 2012
I'm putting this out to you women just out of curiosity, if you could be the only wife of a poor man will you be happier than if you were a second wife to a very rich man?

Honest responses please (after all nobody knows you anyway so no need to lie)

The new generational runz girls (an average 9ja girl) would accept the post of a concubine. They'll reject the word '2nd wife' cos of a deceitful & religious hypocrisy as well as family oppositions.

Sure concubine but so long as they act like a wife what's the difference except for surnames? The point is would she rather be the one and only of a poor man or play second fiddle to a rich man's wife?

What happened to true love, what if the poor man loves is more caring, loving and understanding than the rich man will still prefer the rich man?

Re-read my post, the rich man should also be loving, caring, and understanding. Else i'd stick to the poor man.

What kind of poverty are you talking about? Like having nothing to eat?

I think that it's better to be a second wife than NOT to know how to feed one's babies.

Yeah that kind of poverty!

But no condition is permanent, who knows that poor man may become very rich tomorrow and the rich man may become poor, then what happens if you were a second wife to that rich man that became poor?

Then the process is reversed this time the former poor man may become the object of affection of two women who would also think the same way and then .............. Let me stop here!

No condition is permanent, ladies pls marry that pauper who loves you, you never know how rich he might become tomorrow!

I assumed a simple scenario, the one you painted at the beginning, being married to a very poor guy (who doesn't know how to feed his children).
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring ...

I never said I will not marry who I love. Love wasn't subject of discussion here.

I would rather work hard and make my own money and remain single rather than have to decide between a rich or poor man solely on monetary basis and not love.

Why is the Nigerian mentality so focused on women being after money and insecure men lashing out all the time. Where i work in the UK, you see women who are striving as hard as the men and in many cases make more than their husband/ bf, no qualms.

I currently make slightly below my hubby (he makes a very good amount) and we both know if i change jobs i will most likely surpass his salary. my point is men and women in Nigeria should strive to achieve the best they can in all their endeavors rather than all these follow follow of rich men palava, its quite repulsive.

I agree partially with you! What's meat to one man may be poison to another! You may find this topic repulsive but you have to admit that it's thought provoking and therefore interesting to other people.

Down Here in Nigeria it's a sad reality, a woman abandons her husband when things become really hard may be after his business fails or he loses his job. How about a poor man remaining unmarried because girls are too scared to face hardship. No one is stereotyping ladies just presenting a hypothetical situation in order to gain insights!
