Nigerian comedian and actor, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, has advised Africans to embrace polygamy form of marriage, stressing that monogamy is not working for the continent.
Polygamy is the custom of having more than one wife at the same time while monogamy is the practice of staying married to one woman.
The comedian, during a recent interview, noted that a lot of Africans are pretending to be happy in monogamous marriages.
He said, “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.
“We are pretending. Now, what’s 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?”
