A Nigerian woman, Buithat Lawal, has taken to social media to announce that she is looking for another wife for her husband.

Lawal, a biochemist, made this announcement in a post on her Facebook page on Wednesday.

She said she supports polygamy but is concerned about how some men practice it.

She clarified that she does not want a co-wife who will be jealous or cause problems, but someone kind, loving, wise, and with good character.

?Hey loves, I?m smiling as I write this. Yesterday, I made a post about wanting a co-wife ? someone to join me in this journey of life with my husband.

?I noticed a lot of people thought I wasn?t serious, maybe even joked about it. But deep down, I meant every word.

?I?ve always admired polygamy. It?s never been an issue for me. What I do take issue with is how many of our men go about it, lacking fairness and wisdom.?

Buithat also explained how her views have grown over time.

She said, ?Growth changes a person. As I?ve grown, so have my thoughts. I?ve always told my husband, if he wants to take another wife, I support it but he must involve me fully in the process.?

?No, I?m not looking for a jealous or manipulative co-wife. I want someone kind, wise, filled with love, and grounded in good character.?

Buithat also shared her hopes for a peaceful home where love and trust are present, saying, ?I want the freedom to travel for work knowing my children are safe and cared for. I want to be able to love and care for another child of my husband?s ? not born by me ? with sincerity, and knowing their mother trusts me completely.

?I have a deep vision of what polygamy can be, but the real questions are: Can my husband be truly just? And can the new wife be spiritually grounded?

?Life really isn?t meant to be this hard. I just needed to share my thoughts on polygamy and what it means to me,? She wrote. (The PUNCH)
