A video of Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, delivering a speech at his daughter's wedding has gone viral on social media. The president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) addressed his new son-in-law directly, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the marriage.
MC Oluomo's Message to His Son-in-Law
In the video, Oluomo stated that his daughter does not demand much; all she wants from her husband is peace of mind and his exclusive commitment. He noted that many young people today prefer a peaceful home over a polygamous marriage with multiple wives.
Oluomo, a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, acknowledged his own practice of polygamy, saying, "I know I got married to three wives but that was the olden days. I can't ask any of my wives to leave my house." He explained that the current generation favors an agreement between just the husband and wife.
Reactions from Social Media Users
The video has sparked diverse reactions online. Many netizens criticized Oluomo's stance, pointing out the irony in his advice. User MaryAkinwande commented, "This is how many men think; they want their daughters to be exempted from what they preach." Another user, Ariremako8181, wrote, "Only if the groom is dependent on his father-in-law's wealth will he obey such instructions. If not, the groom can do as he pleases."
Realsultanoa added, "I go still marry her, add a second wife. Men, stop depending on in-laws' wealth so no one can decide your happiness." User TOlaniyant reacted, "Same here. I don't pray my sons-in-law to go polygamous because my daughters may not have the maturity to cope like their mother had. Besides, a good hunter doesn't enjoy being hunted."
