How I Feel About My 72 Yr Old Mother Being a Third Wife in Her 7th Marriage - Gordons

This is single-handedly one of the most interesting stories I've heard in a long time. Gordon's mother sounds like the main character of a story yet to be written. When Gordons during his latest conversation with the women at Wake Up Nigeria was asked how he felt about his mother recently getting married, Gordons went into telling us a lot about his mother and her very extra-ordinary life and it is certainly worth the read.

Here's what Gordons had to say about his mother who at 72 year old got married for the seventh time as a third wife.

"Last year your mum got married, how did that make you feel? How did you feel when she introduced you to her husband?"

No, there was no need because they had lived together for twenty years. So I've been visiting her, seeing the man there. You know, it's just old people who fell in love at a very very old age. My mum is a vibrant lady. A woman who was very pretty in her prime. Every man wanted that woman. For your information, that was not her first husband. That was not her first husband, that was like her sixth husband. My mum is the [Elizabeth Taylor] of Nigeria. She had like six husbands before that man. So that can tell you how beautiful she was. That she's given birth to like 8 [children] and she still could get married. So I don't understand when young girls these days come and say "I no see man marry", really? My mum got married at 72. I was there. It trended. And they were happy. And I know for sure. That man, my mom is the third wife. My mom is the third wife and she's the oldest among the three. But he prefers to live with my mom. Because my mom has what we call charisma when it comes to feminism. If my mum wants to quarrel, she dresses up for the quarrel. I'm not kidding. She would go and make up and do everything, you will think she's going out. No, na quarrel. So by the time she starts to bring all those things, the husband would just be like "cool down na". Cuz the thing that makes men drive women from home is the fact that you're not even appealing in the first place. So they say in our place that when you're quarrelling with your wife and she's going, don't look at her backside because you might say come sit down make we talk [laughs]. But a lady has to be a lady. My mum has been a lady, she didn't go to school but she's been a lady. When I was growing up, I saw young men coming to toast my mom. She knows how to package herself very well.

What do you think about this story? It's so interesting to me. Gordons' mother really sounds like such a character. Let me know your thoughts on what Gordons said by leaving a comment either below or on my Jide Okonjo Facebook post.
