Nigerian comedian Okey Bakassi argues that polygamy is the best form of marriage for African society, claiming monogamy isn’t working.

Nigerian comedian and actor Okey Bakassi recently argued that polygamy is the best form of marriage for African society. In an appearance on the "Honest Bunch" podcast, Bakassi criticized monogamy, claiming it is not working and that many people in monogamous marriages are merely pretending to be happy.
He argued that polygamy allows individuals to marry multiple partners simultaneously, while monogamy forces people to choose between partners. However, Bakassi did not provide statistical evidence to support his claims.
The actor, known for his career in comedy and film, has also hosted popular TV shows such as “It’s Okay with Okey” and “The Other News.” Bakassi has been married to Ezinne for nearly two decades, and they have three children. His views on polygamy have sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his perspective while others disagree.
