Rita Edochie, a Nollywood actress, has sparked internet debate after criticizing women who consent to be second spouses.
According to reports, the actress posted a video of a priest giving a marriage sermon on her Instagram profile on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
In the video, the pastor denounced women who marry men who are already married, calling such relationships immoral and damaging to families.
In her tweet, Rita Edochie, who has been outspoken in her support of May, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, affirmed the message and provided more details.
According to her, women who choose to be second wives do so out of selfishness and greed, emphasizing that such decisions hurt other women and ruin families.

She went on to say that women who follow this road should acknowledge that it is immoral to take something that is not theirs, rather than referring to it as love or destiny.
Being a second wife, in her opinion, is a position that brings suffering and regret rather than honor.
“You are nothing more than a witch, and you are a second wife,” she wrote. You are only avaricious; you are neither unique nor innocent. You have made the decision to base your happiness on the suffering of another woman and to feed off of her tears. Ignore it and term it evil instead of love. It’s covetousness; don’t call it fate. You want to be praised for stealing something that wasn’t yours? Never. A queen is not a second wife. She is a usurper. You are the burglar that entered a woman’s house on false pretenses of being a bride.
