The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, has lamented the rising cases of divorce in marriage in the country.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Adeh bemoaned that married couple do not dialogue over contentious issues anymore, adding that men would rather prefer to end the marriage to pick another wife.
The FCT police spokeswoman further said couples no longer consider the interest of their kids while making decisions to end their union.
She likened the crave for a second wife among men to the excitement of purchasing a higher grade of an iPhone.
“Lately, I’ve noticed more broken homes, and the new trend for men seems to be rushing into marrying a second wife. But what happened to patience, to sitting down and working things out for the sake of the children? Have we lost the will to fight for love, for peace, for family?
“It breaks my heart to see how quickly endurance and reconciliation are fading away. Families deserve more than a quick escape. But wait… is “second wife” now the new iPhone that every man wants to upgrade to?” She queried.
Divorce, which was usually was not an option in Nigerian homes, has now become a common occurrence in marriages.
