Polygamy best form of marriage for Africa – Okey Bakassi

Nigerian comedian and actor, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, has expressed his belief that polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for Africa.

In his view, monogamy is failing, with many individuals only pretending to be content in such unions.

Bakassi shared his perspective during an appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast.

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?”

Siblings Kunle, Aremu Afolayan reconcile, end age-long feud at mother’s wake-keep

Renowned Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan and his younger brother, Aremu Afolayan, have officially reconciled after years of public and private discord.

The brothers, both sons of the late Nigerian film legend Ade Love, ended their long-standing feud during the wake-keep ceremony of their late mother in Oyo State on Friday, November 22, 2024.

The rift between the two gained widespread attention in 2018 when Aremu alleged in an interview that their father lived in poverty despite his fame.

Kunle reacted sharply to the comments, labeling Aremu “stupid” during the public exchange, which deepened the divide between them.

However, the emotional gathering for their mother became a turning point. Kunle, addressing attendees, referred to himself as a father figure to Aremu due to their 10-year age gap.

“One thing I want to tell all Aremu’s friends is that I am not his brother but his father,” Kunle said. “I trained him, and I’m 10 years older than him. But love conquers all.”

Aremu, in turn, apologized to Kunle, acknowledging his mistakes and expressing gratitude for their late mother’s prayers and efforts to reconcile them.

“My greatest joy today is that my mother made us talk,” Aremu said. “I’m sorry for putting brother Kunle through the Instagram backlash. It’s because I love you.”
