Veteran Nollywood actor cum comedian, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule aka Okey Bakassi, has argued that polygamy is a more suitable form of marriage for Africans, citing the failure of monogamy in the region.
Okey Bakass,i while featuring recently on the Honest Bunch Podcast, stressed how unhappy many couples practicing monogamous marriage are.
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?”
