The Igbo culture when it comes to inheritance is quite rigid and a male child is a must has driven many people into polygamy.
They end up marrying more wives because the tradition only recognizes the existence of male children to be the ones to carry on family virtues.
My brother, I wish this male child palava can be eradicated one day

The good thing is that the man didn't get married to another wife.
