Veteran Nigerian actress Rita Edochie has criticised women who choose to settle as second wives.
In a post that she shared on her social media platform, Edochie mentioned that women who marry as second wives are ‘witches’.
Edochie stated this on her Instagram page while sharing a clip of a pastor berating women who become second wives. The cleric said;
“All the people who have become second wives are greedy. Very jealous! W!tchraft is driving them! You are a witch to be marrying somebody’s husband when you know the man is already married! You are a witch. You are a witch!”

Agreeing with the position of the cleric, Edochie wrote
‘’IF YOU’RE A SECOND WIFE, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A W!TCH.
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 WAS NOT 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.
STILL ON, STILL HAPPY SUNDAY, GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE. TODAY’S SERMON WAS ON TAKING WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU.”
