One president, two first ladies. The reality of the new dawn in Senegal.- Bassirou D Faye | LNN


As a nation known for its religious diversity and tolerance, Senegal sets a remarkable example with President Faye, whose wives represent different faiths—one Christian and the other Muslim.

We explore the significance of this interfaith union in the context of Senegal’s rich cultural tapestry and its implications for national unity and…

  1. Islam permits marriage to more than one. This is quite common in Islamic countries. I respect everyone’s religious views. As long as the wives are in agreement and respect each other, we should wish them well!

  2. Do Not get it twisted, they are both first ladies, the one he married 1st would be 1st lady 1 the one he married after is 1st lady 2nd.we are Africans and as Muslims, it is one of our sensible values

  3. Great lessons to learn from, it shows he is going to be one of a descent president that concentrate his affairs at home, unlike others who have 1 wife but have a lot of girlfriends in the sides.

  4. If you the commentator is an African Like my self and the newly hero Senegalese present elect, this topic is not to be discussed, it is the inherit right of the man to marry any woman not in his blood linage of between 9 line age tree for A brothers line age side of the ladder and 5 line age tree for a sisterly side of the blood line age side of the ladder. One think to tell the world to know a bout is, the SENEGAL, NATION AND THE NAATH /NUER NATION OF SUDAN,SOUTH SUDAN AND ETHIOPIA are one, parts of Camroon, of course the Whole of Mali Origin and those with God fearing Heart and Mighty weapons of minds and Favour are one nation and they are GOD Loved like any truth fellower on Earth whom He has handed the truth of human kind to this Nation, they Share the Heavenly knowledge of Good and the Deciment of Bad which is not of God. It has not been written in books but just it remains the foklore till today's time.. In a netshell [[ are detrimined to stand for the Good of All beings'. So, marying wivese is an extension of relationship which is the central command of Love which is GOD''. What is wrong with it???. Obsalutly nothing. blessed be our younger president… religion is not a barier to to Love''' . please leave out any version of white man confussion, the end time is comming''

  5. The President is 44yrs. old ''Double 4 = (44) Double (wives) Double Religion'' Definitely the two religions will co-exist in Senegal. One God. Kojo, Hull City, East Riding Of Yorkshire, England.

  6. Besides to be Muslim Africa it's common from our forefathers that you do pologmalius,all are called first ladies in South Africa Zuma have 6of them they were called first ladies

  7. We are African, not the West or European. We are the criddle of civilization and mankine. Eurooean and the West practice gay and lesbien. Polygamy, gay and lesbien, which one is in the Bible?

  8. The answer for me is No. A couple is one man one wife. So go ahead and flip it… one woman several husbands? to me it only sounds a bit like chaos…to each their own but not me, its a cave man mentality.

  9. In most polygamous cultures, the wife who was married 1st will always be considered as senior to all other wives. In this particular case both will be 1st ladies and alternate in accompanying the husband to functions but the 1st wife will have more say.

  10. Before the rise of Western European civilization, polygamy was humanity's past marital norm.

    After the demise of Western European civilization, polygamy will be humanity's future marital norm once again.

    This is so because mankind is facing a dire population collapse over the next one hundred and seventy-five years.

    Fertility rates, birth rates, and sperm count continue to plummet across the industrialized developed world – and soon to envelop the developing world as well-without end in sight.

    Governments, especially those in the West, will have little choice but to change their long held position on the prohibition and criminalization of polygamous marriage. Governments will be forced to do this in order to avoid economic collapse due to an ever shrinking and aging workforce.

    Immigration will not solve this problem because it will be a global phenomenon!

    Therefore, biology will eventually inform public policy.

    The truth is that as women become more educated and urban, they tend to delay having children, and when they do, they tend to limit the number to either one or two. This further exacerbates the demographic problem.

    In such circumstances, how do governments naturally boost the fertility and birth rates without imposing draconian measures on women which would be doomed to fail?

    Allow men and women to enter into legally sanctioned and incentivised polygamous marriages.

    In the end, it will be as it was in the beginning.

  11. They are not Christian or Westerners. They are first and foremost African and Muslim. We African alllowd Westerners to dictate us. Thank God he doesn't have another man as wife, which is an abomination to all religions.
    In fact, the entire Bible is polygamy. Your socall beloved prince of the Bible: Solomon and David, how many wives did they have? But your Bible still says they were loved by God. You westernized African Christian, stay in your corner, and respect others' beliefs and way of life. You allow European and Westerners to impact you with gay ,lesbeim , LGDP, nonsense, you agree. When you allowed European and Westerners to tell you that two men can marry and two women can marry if they decide; also tell three adults have the right to decide a marriage, too..

  12. Both are first ladies what you see is what you get ,its better than hiding a mistress who has some of your children . In my country Congo-B the president has 35 children with over 12 women that nobody know. I personally admire Faye over my president since honesty is there for everybody to see.
