Bimbo Akintola Supports Polygamy As Answer To Modern Marital Challenges
Actress Bimbo Akintola has stirred conversation by advocating for polygamy, saying it remains part of Yoruba culture and could help solve societal challenges. In an interview with Biola Bayo, she argued that the shortage of men makes polygamy a practical option, noting that many families in the past had multiple wives. According to her, the practice is not entirely outdated and could still work in today’s world. She recounted the story of a woman who encouraged her husband to take a second wife because of differences in sexual drive. The arrangement, Akintola explained, gave the first wife peace of mind and stability in her marriage. “With the way the world is going, people should embrace polygamy. If statistics say men are not enough, then why not two women to one man? It has always been part of our tradition. We grew up seeing Yoruba men with two or three wives. While it may have disadvantages, there are also advantages,” she stated.

Lionel Richie Reveals Michael Jackson’s Close Friends Nicknamed Him “Smelly”
Michael Jackson, celebrated worldwide as the “King of Pop,” was known by a far less glamorous nickname among close friends — “Smelly,” revealed Lionel Richie. In his memoir Truly, released Tuesday, September 30, Richie recalls that the nickname was given by Quincy Jones, who teased Jackson for occasionally going days without washing or changing clothes. Jackson, Richie notes, laughed along, seemingly oblivious to the teasing. Richie explains that Jackson’s grueling touring schedule often made maintaining hygiene difficult. Dry cleaners would sometimes keep his clothing as souvenirs, and his fame made ordinary shopping trips impossible. Consequently, Jackson reportedly developed the habit of wearing the same pants until they were no longer wearable. Richie also recalls the pop star’s casual style during visits: jeans and t-shirts that were either too small or slipping, and, as Richie admits, “often smelly.” On one occasion, Richie even snuck Jackson into his home so he could shower for the first time in days and provided him with fresh jeans and underwear. Despite these quirks, Richie emphasizes that Jackson’s imperfect hygiene never diminished his extraordinary talent or legendary status. “Everyone has their quirks, even music legends,” he writes.

Ati has consistently maintained the truth of her story and called for a DNA test to be conducted in Kenya, expressing distrust that the results would be handled fairly in Nigeria. She has also demanded paternity support from Cubana Chief Priest. The Nigerian socialite, meanwhile, has repeatedly denied any relationship with Ati or fathering a child out of wedlock. In her heartfelt message, Ati said: “He made people believe that what I am doing is clout chasing, content. Nobody believes me. Everybody is just dragging me every day. Just because I gave birth for someone who is known all over…” Omo!
