Oga Bello met his second wife, Iya Lai, through his younger sister. Speaking during an interview about running a polygamous home, he said:

It is not easy to run a polygamous house, and it is only by God’s grace one can do that. It cannot be applicable to everybody. The best marriage is that of one man and a wife, but if any of my children’s destiny is to have more than a wife, then there is nothing I can do about it. I believe I am destined to be a polygamous person.

3. Segun Ogungbe

I have a peaceful household. God has blessed me with wives that understand each other. It is only God that can help a man have a peaceful home. However, for those who think that I would have about 20 wives like my uncle; all I have to say is that they should mind their business

4. Ogogo


Taiwo Hassan , Nollywood actor popularly known as Ogogo also married to more than one wife. He is married to two women, Ajoke Taiwo, and Taibat Taiwo. According to Ogogo:

I believe everything in life has to do with destiny. I swore I’d never have a second wife since I’d never been a fan of polygamy, but it happened for a reason, and I believe it was for a reason.

5. Jide Kosoko

Jide kosoko is the last Nollywood actor who got married to more than one wife on our list today, The talented actor was married to two women earlier in his life, but unfortunately lost both women eleven months apart during child month. After that, he went ahead to marry two more women bringing his overall total of wives to four. Speaking about it, Jide 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 businesswoman. I craved for somebody who was in the same field as 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 childbirths 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
