Growing Up In A Polygamous Home Taught Me Never To Expect My Man To Be Ffaithful To Me!! Yeni Kuti

While other ladies are scared of sharing their man with another woman, this lovely lady “ Yeni Kuti, the first daughter of Fela Anikulapo Kuti” is ok sharing her man with other ladies since coming from a polygamous home, she has learnt a lot and she isn’t expecting her husband to be faithful. In a recent chat with Nigerian Tribune, she said;

 What did growing up in a polygamous setting teach you about marriage?

Growing up in a polygamous setting made me more tolerant of the infidelity of men. Did your views on marriage change after that?

Well, I still got married, but I did not expect my husband to be faithful. I didn’t demand or expect it. If he was unfaithful, it would not cause any fight between us.

 So what could cause misunderstanding between yourself and your man?

I hate lazy men a lot. But the African society has put women at the receiving end one too many times. For instance, if a woman doesn’t give birth, all eyes will be on her, while no one will even point a finger at the man, and it might be the man who is sterile, while the woman is very fertile. I think we women need to fight for our rights more.

 Do you think the African woman has equal rights as it is in the nation today?

We have more rights, yes, but equal rights? I don’t think so.

 Why did you say so?

 When I tried to buy a gun, they said they don’t sell guns to women.

 Why did you try to buy a gun?

Armed robbers had attacked us at home and I needed a gun to protect myself.

 But can you shoot somebody?

Ah, if my life or my child’s life is in danger, yes I will fire the culprit without thinking twice. Even when I did gun practice a while ago, it was very interesting, because I was able to see how people become killers, as one gets a lot of power holding a gun. But unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to own one. Meanwhile, men can own guns. Funny enough, I believe we women are the stronger sex. A man cannot take a broken heart the way a woman would. A woman will take a broken heart and move on. An average man will not recover from a broken heart for years.
