Published on July 2, 2021, Jimal Roho Safi's polygamous family is facing a crisis that may be too difficult to overcome. The situation began when he introduced his new wife, Amberay, to his people, sparking a feud with his first wife, Amira.
As a result, both women have taken to social media to air their grievances, with Jimal seemingly taking sides and uniting with his socialite wife to humiliate Amira. This has left their children, who were born from Amira, feeling torn between their loyalty to their father and their mother.
A mentor of mine believes that Jimal's family is beyond repair as long as Amberay remains in the house and Jimal refuses to reign both women in. The situation is a stark reminder of the importance of respecting one's main wife and keeping her above the drama and clash of polygamous relationships.
It is also a cautionary tale of the dangers of accepting a 'Jezebel spirit' into one's home. Jimal's inability to control the situation and his failure to back his demand for his wives to stay off social media have left his household on the brink of collapse.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen if Jimal can salvage his family from ruin. However, based on the current developments, it seems unlikely that he will be able to do so.
