“I never envisaged being a polygamist, it was God’s design”- Actor Jide Kosoko
Veteran Nollywood actor, Prince Jide Kosoko during an interview, has revealed the reason he is a polygamist.
When asked if actors are actually philanderers he said, the acting profession is a disciplined one. Though, illicit affairs go on within the industry but he told people to see the good side of the profession and not always the bad side.
The actor who has once said he regret marrying more than one wife, while speaking about his polygamous home, told his interviewers that it was never his plan to have a polygamous family.
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. 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.”
