Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has disclosed that he is seeking a divorce.
He said he wanted to clear the way for polygamy. Afolayan said he intended to marry multiple wives.
He 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 had since gone viral, the filmmaker said he was already in court and was prepared to go the whole hog to get a divorce.
“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 stance to his late father, who had ten wives and 25 children.
He said 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.
