Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has sparked discussion online after issuing a strong rebuke to women who choose to become second wives.
In an Instagram post echoing a cleric’s message, Edochie labeled such women as “greedy” and “inconsiderate,” stating that their decisions are built on the pain and tears of others.
She emphasized that entering a marriage in this way brings “shame and misfortune” rather than honor, warning that anyone who builds happiness on another woman’s suffering will eventually face the consequences.
Her words …
“IF YOU’RE A SECOND WIFE , YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A W!TCH .
YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT , YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL , YOU ARE JUST GREEDY.
YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO FEED ON ANOTHER WOMAN’S TEARS , TO BUILD YOUR HAPPINESS ON SOMEONE ELSE’S PAIN
DO NOT CALL IT LOVE , IT IS W!CKEDNESS .
DO NOT CALL IT DESTINY , IT IS COVETOUSNESS .
YOU STOLE WHAT WAS NOT YOURS , AND YOU EXPECT TO BE CELEBRATED ?
NEVER.
A SECOND WIFE IS NOT A QUEEN .
SHE IS A USURPER .
YOU ARE THE THIEF THAT SLIPPED INTO ANOTHER WOMAN’S HOME PRETENDING TO BE A BRIDE .
AND KNOW THIS : THE SAME TEARS YOU CAUSED WILL CRY AGAINST YOU , THE SAME PAIN YOU CAUSED , WILL VISIT YOUR DOORSTEP.
THERE IS NO GLORY IN BEING A SECOND WIFE ONLY SHAME , CURSES , AND THE UNENDING REMINDER THAT YOU , COULD NEVER BE FIRST.
STILL ON STILL HAPPY SUNDAY GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE TODAY’S SERMON WAS ON TAKING WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU”
