“I’d rather be in a polygamous marriage” – Ned Nwoko’s alleged Zambian mistress says as she shares intimate photos with him

Posted: 27 Dec 2020 07:00 AM PST

A Zambian businesswoman, Mrs. Phylis Thompson who is allegedly Ned Nwoko's mistress has said it's better to be in a polygamous marriage than in a relationship with an undeserving person.

This is coming after she dragged Ned Nwoko on social media for not attending her late mother's burial.

It seems they have reconciled as she has now taken to Facebook to state that she would rather be in a polygamous relationship than be in a relationship with an undeserving person.

She wrote, "I'd rather be in a polygamous r/ship marriage and know my position and be loved, respected and protected, than being in a r/ship with one undeserving person who has zero respect for me and is connecting to every Wi-Fi spot then accusing me of infidelity.

"It's less headache to not ask a man what he's doing etc. I'm just too busy working, making money and being treated like a Queen i don't need anything more in life. I mind my own business and wait till he's in my custody that's when a man is all yours when he's in your hands.

"Other than that stop adding wrinkles to your face it's not worth it. When you are busy doing the right things and progressing in life. You have no time for drama. 😉✌️"

Why do single women find married men attractive for relationships?

Posted: 27 Dec 2020 01:00 AM PST

More unmarried babes are becoming attracted to married men, and intentionally seeking them out for relationships. Here's why.

Surely it's not new that married men, particularly those in Lagos, are having sustained romantic relationships and open sexual affairs with younger, single women. However, while it used to feel as though these married men tricked the unmarried women into the relationships, things seem to now be changing.

More unmarried women are apparently becoming attracted to married men, and intentionally seeking them out for seduction.

For context, over the period of over seven days on popular relationship expert, Joro Olumofin's Instagram blog few months back, I witnessed reports upon reports roll in, personal accounts underlining the commonness of the practice and proving how it is seemingly becoming a 'goal' for young, single women to have married partners as opposed to dating someone single just like them.

Why single women date married men
The obvious first reason why this relationship seems to be thriving logically has to be for the financial benefits attached to such romantic affairs.

An Instagram user shares his personal experience on Joro's Instagram page within the period mentioned above. Being single and unable to get any girls despite several attempts, he had gotten a ring and put it on his wedding finger. Like magic, girls became drawn to him and offered sex as cheaply as imaginable.

"…That wedding ring signifies success and stability which these lazy Nigeria girls like," the anonymous user writes. Whether or not he was being 100% sincere is another thing, I concede.

Regardless, the idea, apparently, for many women who intentionally date married men, is that young men of their own age are yet to find their feet and would find it difficult to meet the outlandish demands they make in order to fund their unsustainable, opulent lifestyles. But guess who has more than enough to sponsor trips abroad, super-expensive weaves and all other aspects of the glamorous life these women seek?

Sure, you guessed right!

So the need to sustain an expensive lifestyle regardless of a low economic standing is one reason why.

Another reason for this could be the need for independence; to be free to enjoy sexual satisfaction and all other pleasures of a relationship without actually being in a relationship.

"I know a babe who is dating a married man just for the sex," says Dairo, a photographer in Lagos.

"She says she does not want the clinginess that normal boyfriends often come with. She wants to keep partying and living as she deems fit and not shifting and bending to accommodate some guy in her life.

"They meet, have sex, hang out a little, fool around, have some great laughs; after which the married man returns home to his family and she to her preferred life of singleness.

"I think, like her, many women want both relationships benefits and the independence; a thing which may be difficult with a boyfriend or some other single guy who may likely start to catch feelings after a while of having sex."

The relative detachment which many married men often feel towards side-chicks is very perfect and enables this independence that Dairo speaks of.

Ayo, a fun-lover, believes that there's also a belief among women that married men, due to experience, know how to treat women better. For some other babes, this is the attraction point.

Having been with a married woman for a while and being a man in his mid-thirties and older would have enabled him to not just be more financially loaded, but also very experienced at treating women with more care and their bodies to more pleasure.

Dating married men is wrong
The reasons for dating married people, no matter how logical they sound to those proffering them, are still not, and never will be enough, to justify the practice of dating someone else's husband. And of course, it won't hold water as an excuse for married men who cheat on their wives, too.

Some might say karma will show up at your doorstep later in life, but whether or not it does is a 50-50 thing. In the meantime though, deal with the battle in your conscience.

5 reasons why getting married in your thirties might be a good idea

Posted: 27 Dec 2020 12:30 AM PST

You will always be able to get married, but divorces suck, not only emotionally but financially too, so it is important to relax and take that bold decision of getting married.

Most people still choose to get married although we now it's no longer something we actually have to do.

It's like a gesture of love, a big party and in some countries, there are certain benefits that come with married life.

But if you feel like you're being pushed to get married before thirty cause it'll be too late after – stop and think about it. What's the rush? You will always be able to get married, but divorces suck, not only emotionally but financially too.

So it's always better to wait until you're absolutely sure instead of rushing into it.

Here are some very good reasons to only get married after 30:

You are likely to be financially better and stable
You're far more likely to be better off financially in your thirties than you are in your twenties. We're not saying you'll know everything in your thirties, many of us still struggle with who we want to be and what our career should look like even in our thirties, but at least by this time most of us manage to learn how to deal with money.

You'll be more certain as to what you want
You'll know what you actually want from your partner. It takes a while to figure out what you like and what you need versus the idea of what you imagine perfect relationships to be like based on movies. You'll be surprised how different real life is to what Hollywood made us believe.

Have more time to experience life
You'll have more time to experiment, travel, try new things and have various experiences. You'll date around, you'll have the freedom of having a fling and then never caring to see them again. You might think it's silly, but it's better to try it all and get it out of your system, instead of getting married early and wondering what that would be like.

Appreciate married life more
You'll appreciate married life way more if you get married in your thirties. By this time most people get the majority of their wild partying, and crazy dramatic arguments out of the way and are ready to settle down into a lovely life with a person they feel safe and comfortable to be themselves with.

You'll probably just have a better wedding
Finally, you'll probably just have a better wedding in your thirties. You'll know what you want it to look like and have the means to pay for the perfect venue, dress, decorations, etc. You'll know who your real friends are and who are the people you want to celebrate with. You'll be more confident and able to do stuff your way and not just try to please your parents or worry about what family will think of your first dance. In fact, that relative is not getting an invite cause no one needs his/her negative vibes at your wedding.
