Single women having babies is also a big problem in Africa?? I thought that was mainly a ghetto thing.

Men like new things. How will that concept go over with feminist types I wonder???

Interesting how it mentions how it’s expensive to have a mistress. I’m sure it is, by the time you wine and dine her, and pay for a hotel because you can’t take her home? Or if you pay for her apartment and visit her there , again because you can’t take her to your home.

it is selfish and inconsiderate of women not to share their husbands

I told my wife that once. Luckily I was younger and still quick on my feet and still have my left testicle.

Just doing my part to help the poor unmarried mothers in the community, dear... I don’t know, I’ve only got one left. I think I’ll stick to telling her what to do only when she’s not around.

Good thinking. ☺

Obama’s Kenyan daddy was a practitioner. He already had a wife. His marriage to Stanley was not legally binding, Barry is a little bastard.

Matu further explained that polygamy would be a wise investment as it is cheaper to have a wife than to maintain a mistress, which is what most men in Central Kenya are doing. “You can spend Sh5,000 on a wife and she will be happy, but in the case of a mistress, every time you see her, you will have to part with about Sh30,000 on weekend excursions out of town, where you spend on nyama choma and alcohol over and over again,” explains Matu, adding that in a polygamous union, the women in man’s life are forced to co-share what he can afford.

I've never seen such rationalization for a subject as this one.

Why on earth would any woman want to be a wife when being a mistress comes with such better perks.

You get treated better get supported anyways, and don't have to live with the bum.

Matter of fact, those mistresses probably have a couple men on the side. What a great way to make a living.

Polygamy is self punishing.

Trust me on this.

How is this supposed to help the children again?
You either take care of the children you sire or not.

“While men in Central Kenya are known to have mpango wa kandos...”

Interesting, all I have is my junk.

It means “homewreckers” based on a Google search.
