The Dangers of Polygamy

Post by _Fifth Columnist »

This is ... unbelievable. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/five- ... th/979270/

In an extraordinary case of jealousy, a Nigerian man - husband of six - was allegedly raped to death by his five spouses as he was paying too much attention to his sixth wife in east-central Benue state.

Uroko Onoja, a wealthy businessman, was having sex with his youngest wife when the other five women attacked him with knives and sticks, demanding that he have sex with all of them at once.

Onoja, who resisted their attack, was overpowered by the women who ordered that the sex march begin with the youngest wife and to continue in that order to the top, Nigeria's Daily reported.

Onoja stopped breathing when the fifth woman was making her way to the bed.

According Onoja's youngest wife, five other spouses ran into the forest realising that their husband is no more.

Village head Okpe Odoh said that the matter had been reported to the police, who have already arrested two of the wives following the incident last week.


Wow! What a way to go! I bet Joseph Smith would have been up to the task.

Oh my goodness. He was paying too much attention to his youngest wife? I'm shocked, I tell you, just shocked. Surely that is an aberration in polygamy, and the entire practice ought not to be judged by such.

Perhaps this is why the Lord inspired Viagra et. al. to be invented; to pave the way for the return of plural marriage in this day and age when women are so......ahem......liberated.

The comments are worth reading.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

I pray for the day that five women approach me all at once and demand I have sex with them, or else. LOL!
