Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has slammed second wives and those considering the position.

The movie star, via her Instagram page, penned a lengthy message, stating that anyone who is a second wife is nothing but a witch.

She emphasized that a second wife is not innocent or special, but greedy, as she has chosen to feed on another person's tears and build their happiness on someone else's pain.

Condemning the act further, she stressed that it is not love, but wickedness; not destiny, but covetousness, noting how they stole what wasn't theirs and expect to be celebrated.

Rita Edochie further stated that there is no glory in being a second wife, rather shame, curses, and a reminder that the person could never be first.

She wrote:
“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."
