Nigerian comedian and actor Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, better known as Okey Bakassi, has argued that polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for Africa, claiming that monogamy is failing.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Bakassi suggested that many people are merely pretending to be happy in monogamous marriages.

He stated, “Forget all the lip service we give to polygamy. I still believe polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africa. Monogamy isn’t working. We’re just pretending.

“What’s the difference between polygamy and monogamy? Polygamy allows you to marry multiple people at once, while monogamy forces you to let one go if you want to marry another. But what if you don’t want to let one go?”
