Why African Men Cheat According To Media Personality, Bolanle Olukanle
A lot of reactions have continue to pour in after popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie broke the net with news of his second marriage to actress, Austin Judy Moghalu.
The dad-of-five took to Instagram on Wednesday to show off his son with Judy, who he described as his “second wife”.
However, his first wife, May Yul-Edochie, who married the actor 17 years ago and has 4 kids (three boys and a girl) with him, reacted to Yul’s post, writing: “May God judge you both.”
Following the shocking news, Nigerian celebrities and others stormed Yul’s comment section to drag him for cheating on his wife who stood by him when he had nothing.
Bolanle Olukanle who joined them stated that the only reason African men cheat is because there are no divorce laws that take away half of their life earnings when they cheat unlike what obtains in America.
The TV Host and Documentary Film Maker said this in response to Reno Omokri who earlier drummed support for Yul saying that polygamy isn’t a sin as it is hard for a single woman to satisfy the libido of a normal man.
Reno also averred that many men in the bible including David, Abraham, and others practiced polygamy. According to him, it is only Bishops, General overseers, and elders that are forbidden from practicing polygamy.
He further stated that polygamy is by far better than adultery and fornication.

“Dear Uche Chuta,
Thank you for your question. I generally would prefer to mind my own business, but as this is a direct question to me from you, a gubernatorial candidate, about Yul, who relates very well with me, I will respond to it.
In my personal opinion, I don’t think Polygamy is a sin. Scripture is crystal clear that God Himself gave David many wives-2 Samuel 12:8. Abraham, Jacob, and many Godly men were polygamists, and it was a regular way of life in Scripture amongst everyday people. For instance, Samuel’s father, Elkanah, was a polygamist-1 Samuel 1:2.
Polygamy is only forbidden for Bishops, overseers and elders in the church-1 Timothy 3:2. Monogamy is a Western construct, not a Christian one.
The modern marriage vows we use in Black Africa is a curse. It is not Scriptural. If you, Uche, can show It to me in Scripture, I will give you $50,000. And you know of my financial ability more than most people. It was adopted from Europe.
It is very hard for a single woman to satisfy the libido of a normal man. And this is the reason we have such a high rate of what we call cheating in our society. Compare the rate of cheating in Europe and America, with that of Saudi Arabia and Jordan and my point becomes clear.
Sadly, Black Africans have accepted this Western construct as a Christian one. Which is why we are now becoming tolerant of same sex marriage, and are very intolerant of polygamy. Meanwhile, you find polygamy in Scripture-Exodus 21:10, and the very thought of the other is abominable according to Scripture-Leviticus 18:22.
