Ben South says polygamy promotes long life
In an exclusive interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo, Ben South explained that men who marry only one wife often face challenges in their marriages.
He supported his argument by citing biblical verses and encouraged men to consider polygamous marriages.
“If you look at the Bible, men with one wife tend to have problems; that one wife will bring problems for them. For example, Adam and Samson. But men with two wives never had problems in the Bible,” he said.

Ben South claims polygamy is good
Ben South further suggested that a single wife might become too comfortable, potentially leading to behaviours that negatively affect the relationship. He claimed that having two wives would push each to level up in life.
“I feel like having two wives is more beneficial. If you want to live long, marry two wives. When you marry one wife, she will fight with you; when you marry two wives, they will fight for you... But when she realises that it is not just her, that there is someone else, she will level up,” Ben South added.
