– Israel Ford Polygamous Marriage – Solomon Buchi Disagrees
Nigerian writer and social commentator Solomon Buchi has reacted to the news of Prophet Israel Ford’s polygamous marriage, declaring that the arrangement is not the will of God.
Buchi’s reaction follows the announcement by Prophet Israel Ford and his wife, Prophetess Lydia Ford, that they are in a polygamous marriage, with Shakayla Ford introduced to their congregation as Israel’s second wife.
The announcement, made during a church service at LifeWorks Church in Wickliffe, Ohio, has generated discussions among Christians and social media users, particularly concerning biblical teachings on marriage and the responsibilities of church leaders.

Reacting to the development, Buchi strongly disagreed with the decision, insisting that the arrangement does not reflect God’s intention for marriage.
His comments have added to the growing debate surrounding the union, with many people expressing differing opinions on whether polygamy is compatible with Christian teachings.
The controversy has also drawn attention to the biblical passages frequently cited in discussions about marriage. While several figures in the Old Testament had multiple wives, some Christians point to passages in the New Testament, including Matthew 19:4–6 and 1 Timothy 3:2, in arguing for monogamy, particularly among church leaders.
