Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, better known as Okey Bakassi, has asserted that polygamy is the ideal type of marriage for Africans.

According to the actor, the monogamous system of marriage isn't effective in Africa.

Okey Bakassi noted in an interview with the Honest Bunch Podcast that many people in monogamous marriages are feigning happiness.

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?”
