I have also noticed that the trend is getting especially more rampant with security operatives who are increasingly feeling above the law. I call on the heads of @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy @NigAirForce @NigerianNavy, CustomsNG and other security agencies to step in.

We have reported the case of this violent policeman to the Ministry of Internal Security & Home Affairs led by
@samuelaruwan

”I like married men more because i have never been lucky with single guys” – Actress, Mariam Odunola

Popular Yoruba actress, Mariam Odunola Muftaudeen, popularly known as Omo VC, has revealed she is fully in support of Polygamy, because she’s a Muslim.

Speaking in a new interview with Nigerian Tribune, the actress mentioned that dating a married man or becoming a fourth wife is not an issue to her as long as there are provisions for such.

She said:

“Marriage is a delicate topic that I am always cautious to discuss because it cuts across various faiths with personal interests and different kinds of persons involved. But as a Muslim, my religion gives room for a man to marry more than one wife with clear explanations that such a man must create balance on the home front.

If a man doesn’t have the financial, mental, physical and psychological capacity to marry more than one wife, he is not expected to go into polygamy. I however don’t have any issue with polygamy as long as there is adequate care and respect among the parties involved.

Personally, I like married men more than single guys because I have never been lucky with single guys. As it looks, I might end up being second, third or even fourth wife, I don’t mind as long as I am happy.

However, I can’t marry someone who doesn’t have interest in my profession. Acting is my pride and it gives me joy. Before going into relationship, my man must have been aware of how passionate I am with acting and filmmaking.’

It’s bad enough that someone you trust exploited that trust, cheating does a lot of damage psychology as it is, breaks your self-confidence and makes you feel small
