In what many people described as uncommon when a Nigerian woman, Buithat Hudu Muhammad Lawal, stated that she has always admired polygamy, seeking a second wife for her husband.
According to reports, the Biochemist, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, said she told her husband she would support him in taking a second wife if he fully involves her in the process.
According to Buithat, she doesn’t want a jealous or manipulative co-wife but someone kind, wise, filled with love and of good character.
“Hey loves, I’m smiling as I write this. Yesterday, I made a post about wanting a co-wife — someone to join me in this journey of life with my husband. I noticed a lot of people thought I wasn’t serious, maybe even joked about it. But deep down, I meant every word,” she wrote.
”I’ve always admired polygamy. It’s never been an issue for me. What I do take issue with is how many of our men go about it, lacking fairness and wisdom.
“Growth changes a person. As I’ve grown, so have my thoughts. I’ve always told my husband, if he wants to take another wife, I support it but he must involve me fully in the process.
“No, I’m not looking for a jealous or manipulative co-wife. I want someone kind, wise, filled with love, and grounded in good character.
“I want the freedom to travel for work knowing my children are safe and cared for. I want to be able to love and care for another child of my husband’s not born by me with sincerity, and knowing their mother trusts me completely. I have a deep vision of what polygamy can be, but the real questions are: Can my husband be truly just? And can the new wife be spiritually grounded?
Life really isn’t meant to be this hard.
“I just needed to share my thoughts on polygamy and what it means to me.”
However, at the time of filing this report, it wasn’t cleared either she succeeded in getting the second wife or not.
