In an interview with Zero Conditions Podcast, she said
"I grew up in a Polygamous family with a lot of people so you cannot come and be doing rubbish. I was very protected, I was very loved, and I was very well taken care of. 10 children, 3 wives. Big salute to my bloodline. I'm close to all my siblings, but there's levels of closeness.
"I don't know any other way, it is boring. If I come back to this life again, I want to come back to the same family. How can I be in a house with one mother, one father? Ah ah, then all of us will now be sitting down there. Ah ah. There's no chaos.
"In my house there is love, but we change it oh! Cuz ah, the person wey born us dey crase sha. Do you know what it is to hear gunshots and be going to where the gunshots are? That's not normal.
"My father was very wise. It was like he planned his future, and then he planned his death. So before he died, his wives knew about everything, infact, one of my mother knows how to shoot. He taught them how to be and when he passed, they used the skill. That's how our family was still able to be intact even after my dad passed.

ReplyDeleteWhere dey doing 4 some? 🤔
DeleteHmmmm,osim gbas gbos,but I love poligamy
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of story I love to hear and read about polygamy.
ReplyDeleteNot all polygamous home are that bad.
She is used to chaos not calm and peaceful. That is dysfunctional
DeleteAnon thank you. Though there will always be supporters of polygamy, emi like this, I can NEVER be a supporter of polygamy and cheating. Wetin I don see with numerous personal and external instances has sealed it for me.
DeleteI can't relate cos even my great grandfather married one woman so no crowd only us as my dad's brother is still TTC
DeleteWhatever works for you my dear
ReplyDeleteThe father must really be a wise man. Naa him tame his family to love one another no other way.
ReplyDeleteThe women are also good and peaceful, if not the man wouldn’t have done much.
DeleteJust like stick to what you know. Me: I can't deal.
ReplyDeleteHer heargear no be here.
Thank God it worked our for them.
ReplyDeleteI love my polygamous family, we're close and celebrate one another but will I want to come back into a polygamous family my next life? God no! Would I want to marry as a second wife or my hubby bringing in another wife after me? God forbid!
ReplyDeleteGod abeg🤲
Her wishes
ReplyDeleteTeni your choice but do you also considered how your mother(s) felt sharing the same man?
ReplyDeleteI dislike polygamy.
I love my monogamous family, my five 5 best siblings and parents. We are bonded by true love.
Teni that pics there is not nice.
So sweet to hear
ReplyDeleteAnd they kind of look alike
ReplyDelete😂"Do you know what it is to hear gunshots and be going to where the gunshots are?"
ReplyDeleteIt got me laughing too😂
DeleteGele skentele!
ReplyDeletePolygamy? Hnmmm
Reminded me of madam Kofo. I don't mind the gold purse though.
DeleteI'm a Muslim. But I don't fancy polygamy.
ReplyDeleteher chioce🤷
ReplyDeleteChukwu aju 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeletePolygamy is part of our culture. I'm a lady and not against it. Sha have money to go round
ReplyDeleteDifferent strokes for different folks.
ReplyDeleteI hate polygamy.
ReplyDeleteThe only man I hate in life was a polygamist.
May he rot in hell or wherever he is.
Useless man who abandoned his children to train bastards brought under his roof.by a harlot who had seven children for eight different men.
There is no mistake in the comment above.
7 children for 8 men🤔🤔🤔🤔 adim very confused godi
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣 Vivy adi m very as well.
DeleteTo each his own 😏
ReplyDeleteYour choice oh Teni, your choice.
ReplyDeleteShe said polygamy comes with chaos, she's sincere,it's for the strong hearted.
ReplyDeletePolygamy is good when there's money to go round!
ReplyDeletePolygamy,abeg count me out
ReplyDeleteMoney or no money,I hate polygamy.
ReplyDeleteEverything wey get advantage also get disadvantage sha
ReplyDeleteWeldone Teni , your choice your life.
ReplyDeleteTo your tent oh Israel
ReplyDeletePeople forget that there are bad people. It doesn't matter if polygamy or monogamy. Osinachi was killed in a monogamous relationship while Regina Daniel is enjoying in a polygamous marriage
ReplyDeleteWhat she did not tell you is:
ReplyDelete(1). Teni's father was a senior military officer. The relative peace she enjoyed was birthed out of the fear for her daddy's uniform and gun. You do anyhow, you will see anyhow.
(2). The first wife was a calm and peaceful person (maybe out of the fear of her husband).
(3). It was at a time the military was ruling the nation.
Life is about perspectives; however, we need to be viewing things holistically.
In the region where I work some of my colleagues are from a polygamous home but they told me that there brothers are married to only one wife(ves) and they too hate polygamy
ReplyDeleteI thought she said her father died when she was 3 or 4, so all these tales are her personal experience? Is ok?
ReplyDeleteYour choice Teni
