Yul Edochie Didn’t Glorify The Igbo Culture With His Marital Scandal – Georgina Onuoha

Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha has come out to blast Yul Edochie for saying marrying his new wife brought him blessings.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, she doesn’t recall anyone saying marrying a second wife is a crime, however, the process and intent matter in such situations.

Georgina added that Yul failed his wife both traditionally and scripturally, and what he did not glorify the Igbo culture and traditions because it was done with impunity and with total disregard for the humanity of the mother of his children.

Her words, “My dearest brother Yul @yuledochie I appreciate that you acknowledged you wronged your wife, May @mayyuledochie.”

“And I don’t recall anyone saying marrying a second wife is a crime. Our culture permits that, and some Christians take more than one wife.
There is a reason they say process and intent matter.
It’s one thing to impregnate another woman ( adultery ) while you are still married without discussing with your wife your desire to marry a second wife, which our traditions demand.”

“Since you are quoting our traditions on polygamy, have you forgotten there are rules for such engagements?
Most of us have parents who were born into polygamy. Who will tell you that their mothers brought the new wife home for their husbands, which is a sign of her giving her blessings to her husband.
I bet you know that is our culture and traditions. Taking a second wife because you impregnated her while still married is not noble; it is called adultery, and God punished most great men in the Bible you are quoting for such acts.”

“Marrying the same woman without the knowledge of your wife until she finds out on social media via a blog; is the worst kind of betrayal of trust. Eyin, there is nothing noble in what you did. You don’t force polygamy on people when they are not prepared for it. Give them an option. Not everyone has the grace to be a polygamist.”

“So both traditionally and scripturally, you failed.
Don’t justify your indiscretions with impunity by citing religion and tradition. On both counts, you failed. Abraham, our father in faith, got thumbs up from his wife Sarah to lay with Hagar, the slave girl.
God punished David when he slept with Bethsheba and killed their first fruit born out of that adultery.”

“So many examples in the Bible regarding adultery and its consequences.
What u did, did not glorify our culture and traditions because it was done with impunity and with total disregard for the humanity of your wife. I bet if the table were turned, u would.”
