Veteran Nollywood actor, Jibola Daboh, sees nothing wrong with a man having more than one wife or having children out of wedlock since he sees African men as being polygamous in nature, by the way.
In an interview recently, Daboh, who has up to five children from different women, says he is an ardent supporter of polygamy since it is an African thing.
«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.
«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.
«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.
Women, do you think the actor is right?
