Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has sparked reactions online after sharing a strong message directed at women who marry as second wives.
In a post on her Instagram page on Sunday, the actress stated that there is nothing admirable about becoming a second wife, describing such women as greedy and insensitive for thriving on another woman’s pain.
According to her, it is not love or destiny but pure wickedness and covetousness.

She went on to say that second wives should not expect to be celebrated, as they are usurpers who pretend to be brides while destroying another woman’s home.
Rita further warned that the pain they inflict will eventually return to them.
In her words: “If you’re a second wife, you are nothing but a witch. You are not innocent, you are not special, you are just greedy. You have chosen to feed on another woman’s tears, to build your happiness on someone else’s pain.
“Do not call it love; it is wickedness. Do not call it destiny; it is covetousness. You stole what wasn’t yours, and you expect to be celebrated? Never.
“A second wife is not a queen. She is a usurper. You are the thief who slipped into another woman’s home pretending to be a bride. And know this: the same tears you caused will cry against you. The same pain you caused will visit your doorstep.
“There is no glory in being a second wife, only shame, curses, and the unending reminder that you could never be first.”
