Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has revealed that he is currently seeking a divorce, saying the decision is tied to his intention to marry multiple wives.
Afolayan made the disclosure during a watch party for his latest film where he spoke about marriage and his upbringing in a polygamous household.
In a video from the event that has since gone viral, the filmmaker said he is already in court and is prepared for the process involved.
“I am in and out of court seeking a divorce. I don’t mind the toll. So I can marry many wives now,” he said.
He attributed his views to his late father, who had ten wives and 25 children, noting that his own life and career were a direct result of that family structure.
“Without my father, there wouldn’t be a KAP Village or even Kunle Afolayan. I am the seventh child of my father because he had ten wives,” he said.
Afolayan also encouraged men to consider polygamy or multiple relationships, arguing that legacy and continuity are important.
