Afrobeat musician Harrysong of Nigeria weds 30 women on the same day.

 

Following reports that he married 30 ladies on the same day, Harrysong, an Afrobeat artist from Nigeria, broke the record held by the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who married 27 spouses at once. This news has stirred up controversy.


Videos from the wedding have been going viral online and are being discussed by the media.


Harrysong is seen in the video with a number of women who are all dressed in traditional clothes, which is a dead giveaway that they are engaged to be married.

The aforementioned marriage has sparked conflicting opinions; some believe it to be extreme polygamy, while others don't see any issues as long as the singer is able to support any future wives and children.

Meanwhile, in an earlier report, a 67-year-old farmer with 102 children and 568 grandchildren from 12 wives decided to hesitantly stop producing more children because he was not able to singlehandedly take care of them due to failing health and low income.



Musa Hasahya is a resident of a place called Lusaka in Uganda’s capital Kampala.

He has instructed his wives to start using contraceptives to prevent them from getting pregnant and adding to the unsustainably huge family size.

“My income has become lower and lower over the years due to the rising cost of living and my family has become bigger and bigger,” he lamented in an interview with The Sun.

“I'm not having any more children. I've seen the bad financial situation and am now taking the birth control pill.”

Interestingly, despite the unbearable consequences of his polygamous lifestyle which are weighing him down, Hasahya has no regret and would not advocate against marrying many women.
