Jide Kosoko

Veteran Nigerian actor, Prince Jide Kosoko has said he became a polygamist by God’s design and not his own intention.

In an interview with Nigerian newspaper Vanguard, Prince Jide Kosoko disclosed that he did not become a polygamist intentionally.

The actor who has so far married four wives said;

“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.

“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-child births within 11 months intervals. I had seven children at that time, so I didn’t plan to remarry or 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.”
