A Ward 5 Councillor from Andoni Legislative Council turns heads as he takes two brides in one grand traditional ceremony
In what is already the talk of the town across Rivers State and beyond, Hon. Iyeoron Rowland Brown, the Ward 5 Councillor of Andoni Legislative Council, has done what many Nigerian men only whisper about — he married two women on the same day.
The colourful traditional marriage ceremony, which held at the community, brought together family members, well-wishers, and curious onlookers who came to witness what many are calling one of the boldest moves of the year.
One Day, Two Brides — Andoni Has Seen It All!
For many Nigerians, wedding ceremonies are already a full production — from the asoebi drama to the endless list of items demanded by the bride’s family. Now imagine going through all of that twice, on the same day, and doing it with a smile. That is exactly what Hon. Rowland Brown pulled off.
The Andoni lawmaker, clearly a man who does not believe in doing things by halves, hosted the joint traditional wedding that had guests buzzing with excitement, admiration, and — let’s be honest — a few raised eyebrows.
Polygamy and Nigerian Culture
While this may come as a shock to some, polygamy remains a well-recognised and legally accepted practice across many Nigerian communities, particularly under customary and Islamic law. In many parts of the Niger Delta, including Rivers State, taking more than one wife is often seen as a sign of prosperity, responsibility, and cultural pride.
For communities like Andoni, a man of means and standing taking multiple wives is not entirely unusual — though doing it on the same day certainly adds a dramatic flair that even Nollywood scriptwriters might envy.
Social Media Reacts
As expected, news of the double wedding quickly made the rounds on Nigerian social media, with many users sharing their hot takes:
– Some praised the councillor for his boldness and transparency, arguing it is better than men who “do runs” on the side.
– Others questioned the logistics — “How do you share your attention equally from Day 1?”
– A few joked that the man deserves a special commendation from the Andoni Legislative Council just for surviving the day.
A Man of Many Responsibilities
As a sitting councillor, Hon. Brown already carries the weight of representing his constituents in Ward 5. Adding two new wives to his household on the same day suggests this is a man who is not afraid of responsibility — whether in the council chambers or at home.
It remains to be seen how his constituents in Andoni will react to the news, but one thing is certain: Hon. Iyeoron Rowland Brown has officially secured his place in the social gist of Rivers State for a very long time.
