'I'm a supporter of polygamy; most African men are polygamous in nature' - Jibola Dabo
Nollywood actor Jibola Dabo, who has five children from
different women said in a recent interview with TheNetng
that he's an ardent supporter of polygamy and believes that
most men in Africa are polygamous in nature. Read what he
said below and tell us if you agree with him...
"People misunderstands what polygamy means. I am an
ardent supporter of polygamy. Every single man, mostly
from Africa, is polygamous in nature. We are just deceiving
ourselves. Polygamy means when you see a woman you love
and desire, you marry her with the consent of your already
married wife and bring her home. It's not when you have
one wife at home, then you have others scattered in
different other places, that is not polygamy. And not when
you have three wives and you cannot take care of one, that
is an insult to polygamy. There are so many women out there
who just want to have a man as an umbrella, but we keep
saying one man one woman. Yet the women keep suffering.
We all know that we have much more women in this world
than men, the ratio is too high.
My father had six wives, my uncle that brought me up had
so many wives also. What I am saying is that it is not illegal,
we are not in America. Ironically, the white man would have
one wife and still keep so many mistresses. If not, there
wouldn't have been an English word for concubines. That
means it exists in their culture. Which is better, concubines
or wives? In the days when polygamy was well respected,
diseases were not rampant. It is now that when men hide to
do it that strange sexually transmitted diseases have
become the order of the day" he said.
"I have only one wife but I have children from more than
one woman. And its not because I had mistresses, its
because I have lived in various countries, including
America, France, Britain etc. I am this person that any
woman that comes to me would always want to have
something for me. I have had experiences. I was with a
woman and years later, a child was brought to me, a child I
didn't know when it was conceived". he added
