Can African Men Be Monogamous?
According to many females I've spoken with recently, the answer to that question is a resounding "No!". In several informal conversations in the last week, women of all ages, from 21 to 50+ have commented on how many if not most African men are incapable of not cheating- of being with one person, and one person only- whether while dating or marriage.
One lady, over 50 years of age noted that of all the men that she knows, particularly men of high distinction, none are faithful. In fact, in some instances, the wives know of the men's mistresses but choose to continue the relationship for whatever reasons!
My question is...is this an issue of the elder African community or is this trend also pervasive in the younger African population?
Of course we cannot generalize - there are probably a lot of African men out there who do not cheat and intend to be with only one woman at a time. But what do the fellas have to say to defend themselves?
And ladies (who are not so innocent either) - what is to be done if this is what we have to look forward to? Do you seek monogamous relationships elsewhere or stay put?

Any man can be monogamous with determination, self sacrifice, and faith in God and your relationship.
