G A Okegbe:

“I love such courage, Lord have mercy on us.”

Andy Kayne:

“People are so brainwashed that they think the only way to live life is by western standards. Firstly as Africans we are naturally a Polygamous society. Secondly from a biblical perspective, there are many characters in the bible that were polygamous. You cannot only take the parts that serve your purpose in a religion, there is a whole book. Christianity is a judaic faith, just like Islam.”
