Ekpe said they both have three children each for him and he had to do the right thing by paying their bride price and marrying them legally.
In his words:
"My firstborn is 11 years old; fortunately for me, my wives usually give birth within the same period."

Ekpe said his wives don't get into physical fights when they have disagreements. According to him, he settles their differences himself or calls his friends to talk to them.
He said it took so long before paying their bride price due to financial constraints, adding that he is still struggling.
According to Ekpe, he is the first person in his family to get married to two wives.
