"People Respect A Man Who Is Married To One Wife And Cheats On Her With Multiple Women" - Yul Edochie's Brother, Uche Slams The Critics Of His Brother's Second Marriage

 

Uche Edochie, one of the sons of veteran actor, Pete Edochie has slammed the critics of his younger brother, Yul Edochie's second marriage. 

The writer and painter wonders why people prefer deception to honesty, when the society respect a man married to only one wife while he cheats on her with multiple women.

"What is more admirable between honesty and deception? Most people will tell you that it is honesty and even proceed to quote a part of scripture that says, ‘The truth shall set you free’, he questioned the rationale behind the such logic.

"But none of this is true though. Society does not value honesty and the truth will only make you enemies. It doesn’t set you free. Not on this planet. If we all went around speaking our minds, we will either end up dead or in jail. We are encouraged to tell the truth but vilified when we do. Isn’t that something?

"So we lie to our wives, husbands, parents, children and all of society. We lie to protect them because we know that they cannot handle the truth. "That is why we lie.

The most controversial thing you can do today is not killing, cheating or stealing. Society does this everyday enmass. The most controversial thing you can do is to tell the truth. A lie is like a bottle of soda. It tastes good but it isn’t good for us.

Truth on the other hand is like quinine. The taste is horrible but healthy and curative. That is why we have adverts of your coca colas and pepsis plastered all over the world but not quinine. A lie simply tastes better.

"And this my friends is why we celebrate cheaters and attack truth tellers. We consider it more respectable for a man to marry one wife and quietly cheat on her with multiple women than for him to marry two or more of these women, making his feelings for them official and respectable.

"It seems to me that the issues we face in life are not because we are imperfect humans. We struggle as a society simply because we cannot handle the truth.”

Recall, Uche said his family is not in support of Yul's second marriage to Judy Austin. A situation he described as quite unfortunate and unfair to May.

"Hello guys. So my younger brother Yul Edochie just married a second wife out of the blue and Nigerians are freaking out. I get it. We are all shocked. I am a low key type of guy and I have tried to mind my own business but this circus is chasing me around too. So here is my take.

I see two main problems here. His first wife Mary, a wonderful woman and my sister in law did not go into a relationship with my brother agreeing to be part of a polygamous marriage. That's the first problem. So I feel for Mary. It is not fair on her. My family are not in support. This is not what we do and we are trying our best to console Mary. What else can we do?"
