Men won’t cheat if women embrace polygamy, says actor Samuel Jemitalo
Samuel Jemitalo, the Nigerian actor, says the insistence on only one wife is responsible for the rising cases of infidelity among men in contemporary marriages.
Jemitalo was reflecting on the controversy trailing Yul Edochie’s second marriage in a post via his Instagram page.
Edochie stunned many of his followers on Wednesday when he unveiled Judy Muoghalu as his second wife as well as their baby.
Until his latest post, the actor was known to be married to May Aligwe with whom he has three sons and a daughter.
The development has continued to stir discussions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing mixed views.
Joining the fray, Jemitalo argued that such a trend would continue until women start allowing their husbands to take a second wife.
“Men cheating with side chicks today is rampant because the modern wife wouldn’t allow her husband to bring a second wife home,” he wrote.
“In the days of our forefathers, they converted their side chicks to house wives, that is why most of them were polygamous and there was no case of cheating.
“If the modern woman permits second wife, the cases of men cheating inside marriage will become history.”

Meagan Good, Jonathan Majors are engaged
The Hollywood stars Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are engaged.
The couple announced their engagement on Sunday at the 2024 Ebony Power 100 List event held at Nya Studios in Los Angeles.
Meagan showed off her engagement ring while the lovebirds posed for loved-up photos on the red carpet.
They also revealed why they chose the particular event to go public with their engagement.
“Ebony Power 100 is the event that we met at in the bathrooms, in the unisex bathroom,” Meagan said.
Good was married to DeVon Franklin, the US pastor and producer, from 2012 to 2021. She and Majors were first linked romantically in May 2023.
Earlier this year, Good opened up about how friends advised her about the scrutiny she could face by being with him. She also discussed how she has stood by him through his challenges.
Majors was found guilty of assault in the third degree and harassment in December 2023, following a March 2023 arrest in New York.
He was arrested after allegedly assaulting Grace Jabbari, his ex-girlfriend.
In April 2024, Majors was sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling, which includes a 52-week, in-person program in Los Angeles. He was also required to continue mental health therapy and provide regular updates on his progress.
Also, the court issued a permanent protective order between Majors and Jabbari, with potential jail time for any violations of his sentencing terms.

I’m not an advocate for divorce, says May Edochie
May Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has shared her thoughts on marriage and family.
In an interview with AY Comedian on his podcast Glasshouse with AY, May opened up about her personal views on relationships, divorce, and the public scrutiny she has faced since her husband’s controversial marriage to actress Judy Austin.
May and Yul have been at the center of media attention since April 2022, when Yul revealed Judy Austin as his second wife and announced their first child together.
Despite the controversy surrounding her marriage, May took the opportunity to clarify her stance on relationships. “Some men see me like I am misleading their wives.I love family, I love marriage. I know in today’s world, there is this conception about marriage that is totally different. Ideally, marriage is the basis for family. Without family, there will be no you or me. That’s how it used to be.”
May strongly asserted that she does not advocate for divorce. “I am not in any way advocating divorce or separation,” she said. “Let me categorically state here that I am not an advocate of divorce.”
