Bukola Saraki and family
Ali Ndume, senate leader, has asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to consider taking another wife.
The senate leader also asked Nigerian men to marry more than one wife so as to show care to them.
Making his contribution to the debate on a motion to mark International Women’s Day presented by Oluremi Tinubu, a senator from Lagos state, Ndume emphasised that the “first care” of woman was marriage.
“I urge men to marry more than one wife. The first care of a woman is marriage,” he said.

“Men should take care of women by not just befriending them, but by going further to marry them. I know there is no where in the Bible that prohibits marrying more than one wife.
“Starting with the senate president I ask him to consider marrying more than one wife.”
Ndume, thereafter, made a formal request to the senate to declare that Nigerian men should marry more than one wife.

“As a sign of respect for women, let’s urge men to marry more than one wife,” he said.
His prayer was seconded by Suleiman Nazif, a senator from Bauchi state, but it did not sail through as the “nays” had it.
Earlier, presenting her motion, Tinubu said: We represent, courage and resilience without us I don’t think this country will move forward.”
Theatrically, Binta Masi Garba, a senator from Adamawa state, took a shot at Ndume and said: “We are not sex objects. Bible is in support of one man, one woman.

“We want gender parity. Where women and men can work side by side.”

Last week, it was Dino the boy asking nigerian men to marry only nigerian women. This week it’s Ndume requesting for men to marry more than one wife. It shows the character of the people we have as senators. In the midst of global economic meltdown this is all they can debate. Nigeria is in big trouble.
Just as there is no where in the Bible that prohibits marrying more than one husband Senator Ndume. It is not so hard to see why we are in such difficulties as a nation when all our ‘elected’ representatives have on their minds is women and how to satisfy their urges. Shame!!!
let them create employment first and make live easy for an average Nigerians; then they will marry. When minimum wage is 18k they should tell how an average nigerian can cope with that.
