Social networks are creating a buzz about Jirongo’s wives
Here are some comments:
Javan Karanja:It is better to be the second wife of a rich man than to suffer as the first wife at the hands of a poor man.”
Elsie First:If you have money, you are allowed to marry 10 wives and even additional wives, but if you don’t have money, the woman who should be on your side is the one who gave birth to you.”
Peter Ng’eleiyo: “Yes, the rich should marry more than one wife; it’s perfectly fine.”
Min Nyiri:I love my earrings and my imperfect tattoo, but I could never be polygamous, like it or not.”
Mercie Sammie: “For the super rich, that’s where the key is… you can’t be the second wife of a poor man and then start being dependent on the first family. Jirongo had good taste.”
