Married Nigerian woman, Buithat Lawal, has taken to social media to announce that she is looking for another wife for her husband.
Buithat, a biochemist, made this announcement in a post on her Facebook page on Wednesday.
This lady who thinks like the 19th century Nigerian women, said she supports polygamy but is concerned about how some men practice it.
She clarified that she does not want a co-wife who will be jealous or cause problems, but someone kind, loving, wise, and with good character.
Buithat wrote: “Hey loves, I’m smiling as I write this. Yesterday, I made a post about wanting a co-wife — someone to join me in this journey of life with my husband.
“I noticed a lot of people thought I wasn’t serious, maybe even joked about it. But deep down, I meant every word.
“I’ve always admired polygamy. It’s never been an issue for me. What I do take issue with is how many of our men go about it, lacking fairness and wisdom.”
“Growth changes a person. As I’ve grown, so have my thoughts. I’ve always told my husband, if he wants to take another wife, I support it but he must involve me fully in the process.”
“No, I’m not looking for a jealous or manipulative co-wife. I want someone kind, wise, filled with love, and grounded in good character.”
“I want the freedom to travel for work knowing my children are safe and cared for. I want to be able to love and care for another child of my husband’s — not born by me — with sincerity, and knowing their mother trusts me completely.
“I have a deep vision of what polygamy can be, but the real questions are: Can my husband be truly just? And can the new wife be spiritually grounded?
“Life really isn’t meant to be this hard. I just needed to share my thoughts on polygamy and what it means to me.”
