A Chronicle Of Polygamous Brouhaha -6

Why do men value male child more than daughters? Most polygamists will always give excuses that they want male children or their wives could not conceive again. 

A lot of men have plunged into polygamy,even the educated and the intelligent ones. This is a story of a young polygamist.

Anthony is a handsome dude, well educated, rich, dark, tall and handsome. Every woman dream but a chronic womanizer although some ladies flaunt themselves on him because of his looks. After his university education, he decided to venture into business and with the help of his wealthy sister, millions was given to him to start off.

He had a lot of girls falling over to get his attention. Most of them were competing with each other to gain his attention. There must be a lady in his place either cooking or doing one house chores or the other. Eventually, he got married to Aramide from the south west.

 Aramide later took in but lost the pregnancy.

In the year 2013, she became pregnant again after several miscarriages and surviving fatal accident that almost took her life which left her with a limping right leg till date. She went for her ante-natal and was waiting for the nurse to call her in to see the doctor. She heard her name being called, Mrs. Anthony. As she got up, she noticed another lady also got up and was heading towards the same direction to the doctor’s office. She was stunned and asked one of the nurses and they told her it might be coincidence that both of them bear the same surname. 

She related the story to her husband – Anthony who waved it off as its normal thing to see two people bearing the same surnames. Aramide, delivered her baby girl- Sharon on the 10th September, 2013. Exactly, two weeks later, the same woman she saw in the hospital delivered a baby boy that was a replica of Anthony. 

The woman took the child to Anthony sister’s place to show her the baby, confirming that the baby belongs to Anthony.

Anthony secretly paid the bride price on the woman in order to claim the baby boy because she told him he can never have access to that child without paying her dowry. He was just in his mid-thirties and already a polygamist. He rented apartment for her and their son. This did not gone down well with Lizzy, she was traumatized and broken. 

Knowing fully well that where the husband comes from they value male children more than females. In fact, most inheritance goes to the males folks. The beautiful mansion the husband built in the village now automatically belongs to the Anthony junior and leaving her daughter out. She became more frustrated when she could not bear more children afterwards. Could it be that the woman was behind her trauma? - The accident and several accidents just to have her home. She was sad that the husband did not deem it fit to let her know of his plans but lied to her when she asked him about the hospital incident.



The woman later gave birth to set of twins- boys, later a girl/boy and Anthony was over joyed. The family of Anthony accepted Rose with open hands especially the fact she came from their side and have given their son plenty children, Aramide was pushed out of her matrimonial home- an orphan.

Please, always make sure you study the guy you are about to get married to and consider if his flaws are things you can live with because life is very deep.
