Popular Nigerian Comedian and actor, Okey Bakassi, has sparked a conversation on marriage and relationships in Africa.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Bakassi claimed that polygamy is the best form of marriage in Africa, stating that monogamy is not working.
According to Bakassi, many people are pretending to be happy in monogamous marriages.
He questioned the difference between polygamy and monogamy, highlighting that polygamy allows for multiple marriages at the same time, while monogamy requires letting go of one partner to be with another.
He said: “Forget all the lip services that we pay to polygamy here. I still think that polygamy is the best form of marriage in 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?”
