“…being a polygamist is not intentional but God’s design which I do not have a right over.”

Nollywood veteran actor, Prince Jide Kosoko, has disclosed how he ended up marrying four wives against his wish.

Kosoko who expressed this in an interview with Vanguard newspaper said, he never saw himself as a polygamist before it happened.

“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 businesswoman. I craved for somebody who was in the same field as me,” Kosoko said..

He said, “In those days, the best advice you can get is from your better half and that was how the second woman came to be.

“Along the line, I lost the two to childbirths within 11 months interval. I had seven children at that time, so I didn’t plan to remarry or have 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.”
