Polygamy Best Marriage Model For Africa – Okey Bakassi

Nigerian comedian and actor, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, better known as Okey Bakassi, has voiced his belief that polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for African societies.

During a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Bakassi argued that monogamy is failing, with many people only pretending to be happy in such unions.

He stated, “Forget all the lip services we pay to polygamy. I still think that polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africa. Monogamy is not working.”

According to Bakassi, the main difference between polygamy and monogamy is the freedom polygamy offers to marry more than one person at the same time, while monogamy forces individuals to choose between partners.

He questioned, “What if you don’t want to let one go?”
