Popular Nigerian actor, Jide Kosoko, has revealed that his greatest regret in life is that he ended up a polygamist as he married four wives.
The actor, who has lost three of his wives to the cold hands of death, told Punch newspaper that he does not wish polygamy for even his enemy.
“Let me say this today for the first time, from the beginning of my life I never planned to be a polygamist. I found myself in that situation and I had to adjust to the system. I didn’t set out in life to go into polygamy,”,the 62-year-old actor said.
“I was never designed to have more than one. My major regret in life is that I went into polygamy. I regret it.
“Let me tell you, I don’t pray that my enemy should practice polygamy.
And, this should be a lesson to the young ones coming. I know some people will say their religion permits it, but the religion did not enforce it. I have serious business to do now. I have young children to take care of.”
Kosoko, who has 12 children was asked if he would love to have more children, he said, “That will be madness. Stage madness. Apart from age, if you hear that Jide Kosoko welcomes new baby tomorrow, I am sure you will say this man is mad.
“Am I going to be selling the children to make money?” Kosoko asked rhetorically.
