My own take about the Polygamist:
1. Essie is not a victim
2. Mapita is not a victim at all.
3. Lindani is somewhat of a victim.
4. Joyce is the only core victim.
Joyce did not deserve all of what that dog did.
Lastly, I don’t understand Menzi aim by sleeping with Lindani..
Viewed logically, The Polygamist doesn't really have a villain. Jonasi wasn't a villain, he was indulgent. And the women weren't victims they were volunteers
Infact it shouldn't be called The Polygamist rather The Hypergamy. Because ask yourself this important question, if he was broke, would habe any of the women even be in his life? Of course not, there wouldn't even be a story
One man's lust aligned perfectly with multiple women's greed. His appetite for sex matched perfectly with their appetite for an easy life.
Let's just look at Joyce, she was asked for a divorce but denied him that. Why? Because her status of being married to a rich man mattered more than anything.
And then the rest of them, they actually knew he was a married man who slept around but they still came, because they wanted the lifestyle
If anything this show revealed more about female nature than exposing male nature. It just fits perfectly with what women say daily on social media e.g
"Better to cry in a Mercedes Benz than smile in a one room"
Lesson: Women's fear of poverty far outweighs their ability to leave rich cheating men
BREAKING:
Gunmen Kidn@ped Chief Adelabu’s Sister, Twin Sons in Ibadan, Oyo state earlier today.
Armed g√nmen have åbdûcted Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, younger sister of former Minister of Power and APC gubernatorial aspirant, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, along with her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, in Ibadan on Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at about 7:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026, as Mrs. John-Paul, 43, was on her way to drop the children at school.
The family confirmed the abduction in a statement signed by Comrade Femi Awogboro, Media Aide to Chief Adelabu.
The fact that this can & does happen is why I understand women who “play along” & give out their numbers to get out of sticky situations.
“You can just say no”
“Why didn’t you reject him”
Well, this girl did & got killed for it🤷🏽♂️
You cannot:
Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
Back in 2017, my course mate at Unilag sold her egg for ₦180k too because her parents couldn’t pay her tuition in our final year.
She already did before informing me about it. 😢
She’s currently married to an orphan without any child of her own.
Every single day, she prays her husband never finds out what she did.
I’m the only person who still knows this secret till now. 💔
Someone went here to install these things for them. And it circles back to the average Nigerian being extremely wicked and selfish. They never think of the general or long term good, just the temporary satisfaction for their benefit.
Mix that with tribalism and religious extremism, then we have the mess we are in right now

I had to delete my comment on that video when I first saw it. It got me so riled up, because as an educated person, what does he think he’s doing sharing misinformation on a platform as big as his? And delivered disrespectfully at that, barbarity polished as good oratory. Come on!
These men you mentioned gave their partners more visibility without making them the centre of their brands, a balance some coupled up female content creators have not been able to achieve and is exactly what she was advising against
