Tersugh Aondona, a 26-year-old man from Benue, has revealed the motivation behind his decision to marry three wives on the same day.
When word leaked out on January 31, 2024, of Aondona’s marriage to three women, social media went wild, and people’s tongues wagged.
Aondona stated that possessing a sizable farm influenced his decision to marry three wives at once during his matrimonial proceedings.
In an interview with Punch, he also disclosed that he was driven to have multiple wives by his father.
Originating from Jato-Aka in Kwande Local Government Area of the Middle Belt State, Aondona specializes in rice, yam, and cassava production. He explained that he married three ladies simultaneously to avoid the conflict and deadlock that would result from marrying each of them separately.
He said “It has always been in my plan to have multiple wives, stemming from my desire for many children and the need for help on my expansive farm. Before marrying them, I explained to each of the women that I needed their assistance on my farm, which is too large for me to manage alone.
“I chose to marry them on the same day because I noticed that it was challenging to marry another woman after being married to one already. It often leads to conflicts. My brother has been facing the issue of not being able to marry another woman after marrying his wife, who always opposes the idea. I noticed that if I married them one after the other, there would be conflicts among them, which might result in enmity, and there wouldn’t be peace at home and they would hardly have cordial relationships. Therefore, I decided to marry the three of them at once to maintain peace and they agreed to have the wedding on the same day.
“However, if I notice that they want to misbehave, I will remind them of the promise they made when we met, and I will ask them why they agreed to be in such a relationship from the beginning if they knew they couldn’t maintain the peace”
