“Polygamy Is the Best Form of Marriage for Africa” – Okey Bakassi
Nigerian comedian and actor Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, has started a conversation about marriage in Africa.
While appearing on the Honest Bunch Podcast, he openly expresses his belief that polygamy is a more suitable marital structure for Africans, arguing that the concept of monogamy has not been effective for many people on the continent.
Bakassi suggested that numerous individuals are merely putting on a facade of happiness in monogamous marriages.
He points out that societal pressures often force people to adhere to this structure, even when it does not align with their personal realities or desires.
Sharing his perspective, Bakassi mentions, “We need to be honest about polygamy and stop treating it as taboo in Africa.
I believe polygamy aligns better with our cultural and societal framework. Monogamy is failing because it forces people into a restrictive system that doesn’t work for everyone.
When we compare the two, polygamy allows someone to be married to multiple people simultaneously, while monogamy demands letting one person go if you wish to be with another.
But what if both partners matter to you, and you don’t want to choose?”
Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has announced his upcoming wedding celebration with his longtime partner, Davita Lamai.

Zlatan and Davita have been together for several years and share children. Their wedding announcement has since attracted congratulatory messages from fans, who are looking forward to the couple’s celebration.
The announcement comes after reports of a private civil ceremony earlier in 2026, with the upcoming event expected to mark another celebration of their union.
