Nollywood filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has advised men to marry many women or, at the very least, be involved with many women.
The advice has drawn even more attention because it comes at a time when Afolayan is engaged in a public exchange of words with fellow filmmaker Funke Akindele over money, box office success, and different measures of achievement in Nollywood.
While speaking during the premiere of his new movie, Anikulapo 2, Afolayan revealed that he is the seventh child in a very large family.

According to him, his late father was involved with many women, adding that he is not even certain how many of them were officially married.
Despite the criticism such a lifestyle often attracts, the filmmaker said it represents his lived experience.
“This is my reality,” he noted, explaining that his upbringing shaped how he sees family, legacy, and life itself.
The filmmaker went on to speak about his father’s influence, stressing that he never forgets where he comes from.
He added that whenever he looks around, he sees his father everywhere. According to him, without his father, there would be no Kunle Afolayan and no KAP Village, the creative hub he founded.
Addressing the common belief that large or unconventional families often fall apart, Afolayan revealed that some of his siblings are now actively working together to preserve their father’s legacy.
He suggested that unity and purpose can still emerge from complex beginnings, insisting that people should not be quick to judge family arrangements they do not fully understand.
