Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, Okey Bakassi, has opined that polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for African society.
He said this when he appeared on the ‘Honest Bunch’ podcast, recently.
He posited that many individuals in monogamous marriages are merely pretending to be happy.
“Forget all the lip services that we pay to polygamy here. I still think that polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africa. Monogamy is not working,” he said.
“We are pretending. Now, what is the difference between polygamy and monogamy? Polygamy says you can marry two people at the same time. Monogamy says you cannot marry them at the same time, you have to let one go. What if you don’t want to let one go?”
The comedian however did not provide statistical evidence to back his claims.
