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 segxwally 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

Still pondering on what this old man is saying during this 21st century. I even know that van average female Muslim wouldn't want to share her man. Perhaps he should give out his daughter s.

Personally I cannot have more than one wife. What’s the big deal about polygamy? …..is it going to stop the billions being looted?
Polygamy is the least of our problems. Polygamy is not illegal in Nigeria. Polygamy is not by force it is by choice. You have polygamists in almost every race…
The bible says thou shall not commit adultery… …..the bible does not say thou shall not have many wives. Example; King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
Please don’t moralise on this man…

The male specie is polygamous by nature. It is not an African or Black thing. That is one of the reasons in the Western World, that people travel outside their comfort zone for a tryst.
