Veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, has disclosed the need for having his four wives and what led him into polygamy.
The actor in an interview with Vanguard revealed he didn’t plan to marry four wives but God had a hand in all his decisions.
Kosoko said his introduction to polygamy started when he needed a wife in his line of profession, someone who understands his line of work better.
He said, “I never envisaged being a polygamist though I am a product of one. My parents didn’t support it either. My first wife was a business woman. I craved for somebody who was in the same field with me.
“In those days, the best advice you can get is from your better half and that was how the second woman came to be.”
The actor also revealed that he lost his first two wives to childbirth.
“Along the line, I lost the two to child births within 11 months interval.
“I had seven children at that time, so I didn’t plan remarrying or having more children again.
“But after much persuasion from my doctor and relatives, I decided to have a woman with the agreement of not having more children but a complete African woman will not agree to that.
“One thing led to the other and I got two women again. So being a polygamist is not intentional but God’s design which I do not have a right over,” he said.
