“You Don’t Scare Us at All!” – ‘President of Second Wives Association’ Playfully Claps Back at Senior Wives.
A Nigerian woman, Mewolaka Omololami Fashakin, who self-identifies as the “President of the Second Wives Association,” has sent a cheeky message to first wives, or Iyaales in Yoruba culture.
Taking to Facebook on Sunday, she issued a playful but pointed statement aimed at senior wives who might harbor animosity toward their husband’s additional spouses.
She wrote, “As the president of the second wives association, I want you to know that any iyaale who fights us, ignores us, drags us on social media, or even turns herself into Efunsetan does not scare us at all!!” She added, however, that it’s the respectful first wives who maintain love and dignity toward their husbands that command their fear and respect.
“E get why,” she concluded mysteriously.
The post, laced with humor and cultural references, has sparked amusement and debate online. Fashakin’s mention of “Efunsetan” likely refers to Efunsetan Aniwura, a historical Yoruba figure known for her power and infamous reputation, adding a witty edge to her commentary.
While intended as light-hearted banter, her statement humorously underscores the complexities of polygamous relationships in Nigerian society.
It has since garnered attention across social media, with many sharing their opinions on the dynamics of blended families.
