Nigerian comedian Okey Bakassi in an interview on Honest bunch podcast has ignited a heated debate on social media with his comments on marriage and polygamy. According to Bakassi, polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for Africa, citing the failures of monogamy.
Bakassi’s statement has generated a mix of reactions, with some people agreeing with his perspective and others strongly opposing it. While some argue that polygamy can provide financial and emotional support for multiple partners, others see it as a practice that can lead to inequality, jealousy, and exploitation.
The comedian’s comments have also sparked a broader conversation about the cultural and societal norms surrounding marriage in Africa. Some commentators have pointed out that polygamy is a deeply ingrained practice in some African cultures, while others have argued that it is a relic of the past that should be abandoned.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Okey Bakassi’s comments have touched a nerve and highlighted the need for ongoing discussions about marriage, relationships, and cultural norms in Africa.
