Jide Kosoko: My Four Wives were God’s Plan
Nollywood veteran actor, Jide Kosoko has revealed how he ended up marrying four wives, saying it was never what he envisaged.
In an interview with Vanguard, where he made this known, Kosoko explained that though he’s a product of a polygamous marriage, being a polygamist was what his parents kicked against.
According to him, he married a second wife due to his craving for being married to someone who’s also an actor.
“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,” he said.
Continuing, he added that he lost both women in an interval of 11 months.
“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 to remarry or to have 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,” he was further quoted as saying.
