Kobojunkie:
1. For those who live by the Word of God, Adultery is as defined by God's Law and Covenant, and not by your dictionary.

The definition you quoted there is taken from God's Old Law of Moses which happens to be the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan. That Law cannot be reasonable followed by anyone who does not inhabit the Land for which it was carved out for.

The definition for adultery that instead apply is found in Jesus Christ, God's New Law and Constitution in God's Special Nation of Priests- Exodus 19 vs 6 - aka the Kingdom of God. His definition is the Law all those who are His followers are called to live by. - Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 & Matthew 19 vs 1 - 12 among others.

There is no such thing as 'old testament'. That's a Christian fabrication.

God does not change right ? So why did he allow polygamy for thousands upon thousand of years and suddenly change his mind. After all God is not the author of confusion.

MaxInDHouse:
Abeg if a wealthy woman decides to keep two or three men in her mansion so as to take turns for her sexual pleasures has she committed ADULTery?
Note that she's financially capable of taking good care of them all!

She is mixing SEED. It is an abomination !!!

advanceDNA:
Una no dey tire .....
So how did God explain adultery for women ..or this ur analogy does not apply to women ??

You are the Christian. Tell me ?

If a man takes more than one wife, he is not committing adultery. Adultery is when a man sleeps with a married woman or a married woman sleeps with another man.

The logic is simple.

Do not COVET another man's wife, it's that simple. It is the man that plants the seed that germinates into many plants. A wife is the recipient of that seed. To mix the seeds of many men is an ABOMINATION.

Many of you who have been brainwashed with the white man's religion have redefined adultery as a man marrying another wife or sleeping with a single woman etc. No, that's not true. He is not an adulterer. The man who is an adulterer is the man who steals or sleeps with the wife of another man.

Adultery — defined in Jewish law as sexual relations between a married woman and a man not her husband — is viewed in Jewish tradition as a sinful act of the utmost seriousness. It is one of the Ten Commandments and, along with other forbidden sexual relations, one of Judaism’s three cardinal sins that one is forbidden to transgress even at the cost of one’s life. The prohibition is included in the so-called Holiness Code, a section of Leviticus that features many laws aimed at distancing the Israelites from vulgarity, and is described in Genesis 20:9 as a “great sin.”

According to the Torah , both the adulterous woman and the man she sinned with are liable for the death penalty. (Relations between a married man and an unmarried woman are rabbinically prohibited, but do not qualify as adultery by the biblical standard.) In practice, as with all capital crimes in Judaism, this sentence was rarely meted out. But taken together with the Bible’s other pronouncements on adultery, it makes clear the severity with which this transgression was viewed.

The Torah does not say why only a married woman having sex outside the confines of marriage is considered adulterous, but the marital norms in biblical times offer a clue. Several biblical figures are known to have had sexual partners other than their wives, including two of the three patriarchs. Traditional Jewish law also sometimes regards marriage as an acquisition of sorts, in which a woman is permitted to her husband and forbidden to all other men — in effect, she belongs to him, but he does not belong to her. Questions of paternity raised by a woman having multiple partners may also have contributed to the taboo on adulterous relationships. “So [God] wanted that the seed of men be known to whom it is, and not that they be mixed one with the other,” states Sefer Hachinukh, a 13th-century rabbinic text.

Whatever the reasons, the prohibition is considered a severe one, and mere suspicion that it has been violated gives rise to one of the strangest rituals in Judaism, the ordeal of the sotah — a practice described in the fifth chapter of the Book of Numbers and elaborated on at length in the Talmud , which devotes an entire tractate to the subject. According to the biblical , if a woman commits adultery but there are no witnesses to the act, her husband may bring her to the priest, who has the accused drink a potion made from earth from the Temple and dissolved ink. If the woman is guilty, “her belly shall distend and her thigh shall sag; and the wife shall become a curse among her people.” If she is innocent, she will be unharmed.

mariahAngel:


This isn't about Christianity.
It is the law of life!

The people who WROTE your BIBLE think otherwise.

A man is the seed planter and can plant his seed in many wives

A woman is a recipient of the seed which germinates into a plant. She is not capable of planting.

Thank me later.

mariahAngel:


Polygamy can only be right when all parties involved agree to it.

Not in Igbo culture.

highchief1:
of course it’s not.do u think yul is coping now?

Why are you people so evil ? The death of this son had nothing to do with his marrying second wife.

mariahAngel:
Keep deceiving yourself.
Live a straightforward life, so that it shall be well with you, or bear the consequences of living a crooked one.

Western pagan Christianity has messed up the brains of my beloved Africans. So sad.

highchief1:
I hope u stl serve the deities ur fore fathers bequeathed u?or is it only the Toto u want to inherit?If u want to be africa u must be africa.Our generation does not have what it takes to handle polygamy.

Some can cope with polygamy, some can't . It is not a sin.

ahnie:

She was never single

She was single.

Okorietitus:


Some of you lack sense. The new wife was a married woman who had an husband that didn't divorce her.
There are spiritual angles to some of these things but tiktok no gree una get sense.

She was single

highchief1:
na who no get sense Dey do polygamy.my guy man and cheating end for condom.I know I cheat heavier than yul.Na sense e no just get.I’ll rather die than be polygamous.

Polygamy is African culture.

mariahAngel:
When you tell men (especially) that adultery is bad, and that it open doors for a lot of misfortune and negativities to creep into the family, they will never listen.
They will think because they're men, they can do whatever they want without consequences.
A whole first son! Okpara mmadu! Gone!

The devil is always roaming about (in form of side cocks and chicks), looking for families to destroy.
Beware!!!

You religious deluded fanatics, lol. What is the true definition of adultery according to the bible :

Adultery — defined in Jewish law as sexual relations between a married woman and a man not her husband — is viewed in Jewish tradition as a sinful act of the utmost seriousness. It is one of the Ten Commandments and, along with other forbidden sexual relations, one of Judaism’s three cardinal sins that one is forbidden to transgress even at the cost of one’s life. The prohibition is included in the so-called Holiness Code, a section of Leviticus that features many laws aimed at distancing the Israelites from vulgarity, and is described in Genesis 20:9 as a “great sin.”

onatisi:
so the second woman and the second marriage is the reason and cause for this death , abi? smh

Wrong.

Ikea81:
In Igbo tradition. If you leave your husband without proper separation/divorce and return of BP, and you go out to be living with another man. Your first child will be having constant seizures.

I can bet it was not his first seizure, the warning has been there. They just paid for the consequences of their ego. All those ing the married woman to stray. Una don see ba?

I am not saying Yul did well with his actions. If you can't respect yourself and keep your dick in your pants or cheat responsibly and you get a woman pregnant. The only honourable thing to do as an Igbo man is to claim the child and pay her dowry. After this slip, the wife should have learnt to forgive and make their home. See where pride carry them reach now.

Don't argue this culture with me. It's true. She is seeing another man consistently now. The son just paid the price. Let her family return the bride price, and cleanse her. You can't be married and live with another man. Na abomination. Feminist make una leave me this morn. I dey go ndi ichie meeting.

He married as single woman. Amen.

HIPROFILE:
This guy just brought grieve upon himself and most especially his innocent and peaceful beautiful wife.

Okpatara nku aruru si ngwere putaraya oririi…

Lesson to many men out there..nowadays women are too desperate and can do anything to take over.

In Igbo culture a man can take more than one wife. Nothing to do with him marrying another woman. You people should think more logically.

IyaebeTheGreat:
When I get married, no husband of mine will dare this. There are things I won’t ever forgive a husband for e.g Having illegitimate kid/kids outside our matrimonial home, taking another wife and going physical on me. I won’t ever forgive these things and I would hold you in my heart forever

Have you every committed an abortion ?

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the following statement on Nigeria’s recent elections:

“The ongoing electoral process in Nigeria is widely viewed as deeply flawed by election observers and many Nigerians. It is disappointing to see the istration rush to embrace the result while the full picture of what occurred during this electoral process is yet to be seen.

“I’ve expressed similar concerns related to other areas of our relationship with the Nigerian government. I worry this rush to judgement will undermine our ability to be an effective partner to all Nigerians, especially given their longstanding desire for democracy.

“With Nigeria heading into state-level elections in just a few days, it is important that the United States be more concerned with ing the Nigerian people and their democratic aspirations than embracing the Nigerian government.”

Draslo:

Comments like this on posts like this is why I will continue to call Yorubas who voted PO bastards and saboteurs. This particular crime is everywhere in Nigeria. I one particular Okija shrine but somehow, it is a Yoruba thing because Nairaland Igbos will do anything to taint Yorubas. The era of being liberal is gone. I have become a tribalist as well. I will give you all a taste of your own medicine.

What Nigeria needed above all was a clean election to reiterate the basic message of democracy: that a sovereign people can choose its leaders. Sadly, it did not happen. The election — which appears to have delivered the presidency to Bola Tinubu, a wealthy political fixer running for the incumbent All Progressives Congress — was badly mismanaged at best. It failed to set the example needed for west Africa, a region where too many national leaders have extended term limits or resorted to seizing power at gunpoint. Nigeria remains a democracy, but only just.

The omens had been better. The emergence of Peter Obi as a viable third-party candidate had brought excitement and forced candidates to talk about policies, if only a little. Neutral observers thought the Independent National Electoral Commission was in good shape. They had high expectations that INEC’s promise to transmit voting tallies electronically from polling stations would eliminate ballot stuffing. The outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari, had staked what remains of his tattered reputation on a clean contest.

Yet the INEC badly misfired. Voting started late in many districts, depriving millions of the right to vote. The system to results from 177,000 polling stations stuttered, causing legitimate concerns of vote tampering during long delays. Violence was troubling. Party goons invaded many polling stations in what appeared to be blatant acts of intimidation. The Financial Times witnessed armed men remove a presidential ballot box in Surulere, Lagos.

The official result put Tinubu on 37 per cent, Atiku Abubakar from the People’s Democratic party on 29 per cent and Obi on 25 per cent. But some individual results do not the smell test. That includes Obi’s ever-so narrow victory in Lagos state, where crowds had greeted him like a rock star.

More worrying still was voter turnout, which was pitifully low at 27 per cent. If official results are right, two-thirds of the 87mn people who lined up for hours to collect their voter registration cards failed to cast their ballot. Apathy cannot explain it. Something, including the possibility of widespread voter suppression, must have prevented them from voting. Total turnout of 25mn votes in a country of 220mn people is unacceptably low. Tinubu’s tally of 8.8mn gives him the weakest of mandates.

Obi and Abubakar must now decide whether to pursue their claims of rigging in the courts. If they do, Nigeria’s judiciary should take a long hard look. The courts in Kenya in 2017 and Malawi in 2020 overturned suspect elections. If Nigeria’s courts find suspicions, they should not shrink from annulling individual contests or even the whole result.

It is plausible courts could conclude that — despite some obvious irregularities — the overall result reflected the will of the people. In that case, or if there is no court challenge, Tinubu will be faced with one of the most difficult jobs in the world. Nigeria has been teetering on the edge of catastrophe, with a breakdown of security and an almost total absence of growth. Neither is sustainable. By 2050, Nigeria will have 400mn people. They cannot be left without hope.

The next president must quickly remove the ruinously expensive fuel subsidy and rationalise the exchange rate system. The army and police, both riddled with ineptitude and corruption, need urgent reform. These basic steps are the minimum to begin to repair a deeply damaged country.

Tinubu campaigned partly on his ability to pick a strong team. If he is confirmed as president, he must name a cabinet of independent, competent and honest ministers. Even Nigerians who did not vote for him will hope against hope for that.

I've never even seen you but I've seen how progressive your ideas are.

I personally believe in your ability to turn Nigeria to an enviable nation in a very short time.
