Monogamy is the best form of marriage for Africans: Okey Bakasi
Renowned Nigerian comedian Okey Bakassi has come under the spotlight with his provoc@tive statements about the nature of marriages in Africa. In an episode set to fully premiere on Monday on “The Honest Bunch” podcast, the talented comedian has come to condemn the practice of monogamy in Africa with the claim that “it’s not working.”
He boldly asserted:
“Forget all the lip service we are playing here. Polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africans.”
He went on to acknowledge that monogamy is clearly not working and everyone is just pretending about it.

This has stirred up quite a diverse range of reactions. On one hand, netizens praised him in support of his viewpoint, stating that monogamy is more African in nature and that polygamy is not more of an imported culture; others fir€d him, claiming he’s simply trying to increase promi$cu!ty in society. Others from an economic viewpoint rejected the idea with claims that polygamy will do more harm than good to the African economy.
