Veteran Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chattah, caused a stir on social media after he shared his position on polygamy.
The conversation started after fellow celeb Femi Adebayo questioned why kids always loved their mothers more and neglect their dads.
According to Chattah he believes that a man should have more than one wife so that they will all compete for his love
Veteran Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chattah, has stirred mixed reactions over the reason he gave for men to have more than one wife.
It all started when fellow actor, Femi Adebayo, shared a video online where he wondered about how men are neglected in their homes by their wives once they start having kids because the attention shifts to them.
He also added that these kids later grow up and love their mothers more despite it being the man who takes 75% of the responsibilities in the home. According to him, life is not balanced or fair to men.
Not stopping there, Adebayo went ahead to give Ibrahim Chattah the floor to air his opinion.
Ibrahim Chattah supports polygamy, gives reason
The second actor then went ahead to note that there are even some men who take 100% responsibility of the home but it doesn’t mean his children or his wife would love him more.
He then went ahead to speak on Islam and the idea of polygamy that allows a man marry up to four wives if he can care for them equally.
According to Chattah, he is of the opinion that a man should have more than one wife. He then went ahead to give the interesting reason behind his stance.
Chattah noted that if a man wants to really enjoy his life and doesn’t want to grow old and start running errands or become useless, it is better for him to be polygamous so that all the wives would be competing for his love and attention.

Daplus2013:
“Kids are not foolish, they can tell which of the parents makes more sacrifices and share the love accordingly unless there is a deliberate attempt by one partner to brainwash the children against the other. Polygamy is almost impracticable in the 21st century if you are serious about escaping generational poverty.”
