Big bizness man for Nigeria, Jite Odeworitse Tesigimoje, don cause tori wey no dey finish afta im marry im 19th wife for one big ceremony wey carry plenty style.
Dis 43-year-old man from Delta State, wey dey known as oil bizness man, dey always tok say e good make man marry more than one wife. Di pictures from di wedding don waka everywhere, dey cause tori about culture, love for modern time, and wetin dey acceptable.
For one interview wey im do with The Nation newspaper, Tesigimoje explain say di way im dey marry plenty wives na im own way to challenge wetin di western world dey tok. Im say, "Di colonial masters tell us say na only one wife man suppose marry, but dem dey do plenty bad things for back. Why dem dey do wetin no good? Why dem lie give us?"
Im still add say to marry plenty wives better pass to dey cheat on one wife. Im tok say im house na example of unity for Nigeria, as im don marry women from different tribes like Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani, and im own tribe, Itsekiri.
'Peaceful Marriage'
Even though Tesigimoje dey support di idea of marrying more than one wife, im agree say no be everybody fit do am. Im tok say e need plenty money and sense to handle am well.
Di man explain say all im wives for Lagos dey live for five-bedroom houses, and im dey give dem better allowance. Im say di secret to di peace for im house na fairness. "Once I do something for one wife, I go do am for di rest," Tesigimoje tok.
Im still tok say di fairness dey make sure say peace dey for di house. Im even hint say im go soon marry di 20th wife.
Even though to marry plenty wives no be new thing for Africa, no be everybody dey carry am reach di level wey Tesigimoje don carry am. But di number of children wey im get no dey clear.
Plenty people don criticize di man decision, say e fit dey add to di wahala wey society dey face, and e fit even affect di economy of di country.
