Ooni of Ife marries for the third time and everyone is super cool with it, but imagine an average woman getting married to her third husband. Double Standards?
Reacting to the tweet, Faithia Williams wrote;
I have absolute respect for our Ooni…this poat is necessarily not about him. It is about how we see and talk about women. Why do we ‘hit’ women too much in our society…we need to stop demonizing women while we make excuse for men. Selah!
In Yoruba culture men have right to marry women as much as he can with proper care indeed.
Not only in yoruba land, Muslims are permitted to marry up to 4 wifes if u can take good care of them, women are not allowed
