“I am Dr Arube Otor , aka Isoko Fela. I am a very popular Isoko musician, I play Isoko highlife. I got to primary six. And was born into a polygamous home; my father had four wives. Growing up , the children from the house related very well. And we also related with the various mothers. So polygamy was never a problem in our home. And we all still maintain the healthy bond among ourselves.

“All my children are going to school, none in my band yet. I want all of them to be university graduates . I want my first boy to join the military from the NIgeria Defence Academy, NDA. Though the boy is not the first child, my first child is a girl but in Isoko we don’t count a girl as first child when you have a male child.

In Isoko, my parlour, my room and also my car belong to my first son as inheritance while the girls get their share of my property from their mother’s apartment from the way I built my house. Each of my wives has her apartment. Your apartment is for you and your children. I’m from Uzere in Isoko.

“I had two wives before, one left. I had only one until I later added this three I will be doing the marriage reception for, making them four wives. Mind you, I still have two other women pending that will join my list of wives to make six,” he added.

Speaking on the strength to go round them without anyone feeling neglected, he said, “I am equal to the task, I don’t eat rice and I also don’t use aphrodisiac, sex enhancement drugs etc . I depend on our natural food to keep me fit and ever ready for my conjugal duty as a husband to my wives. My wives will tell you that I visit them every week.

“I avoid rice because it weakens a man. I’m sure you understand me. I want to have 32 children and until I have them I won’t leave this earth. God will bless me with them. I make sure my wives don’t fight among themselves. If they have any problem among themselves they report to me and I settle them. If it’s an issue between two of them, I call the others to be there to witness how I settle the dispute so they will also learn.

“My wives are doing their businesses. I don’t allow them play music with me. The eldest one is a hair dresser, the second is a caterer; the third one is a trader at the market. The junior one now is also a hairdresser. The other two pending (concubines), one is a nurse in Warri and the other is a butcher at Oleh.
