A 69 year old herbalist, Chief Simon Odo (pictured left above with his first son and one of his wives) married an 18 year old girl, Chidinma (pictured below), as his 57th wife in November, 2015.

The man also known as Onuwa, King Solomon of Africa or King of Satan has now said he has had enough of women and won’t be taking another wife.

According to Vanguard, Onuwa who has an Onward notebook where names of his wives and over 200 children are listed has married 68 women in total, however, some died, leaving him with 57 wives.

In an interview with the media, Onuwa said,

“I was born in 1947 on the day they had an eclipse of the sun and the moon…I was the only son of my parents. I was baptised as a Christian in the Catholic Church…I however became a herbalist because of circumstances beyond my control…I married 15 wives when my father was alive and the situation prolonged his life. He died in 1992 at the ripe old age of over 90 years. My first son (born 1969) has seven children and four grandchildren.

Any of my children who chooses to become a Christian is free to do so, provided he/she must become a Catholic. I don’t like the Pentecostal churches.”

On feeding of his large family, Onuwa said,

“People think that I feed many of them but this is not true. Most of my children are grown up. The boys among them usually marry and go to their own houses just like the girls who marry and follow their husbands to their places. However, my wives cook food for the whole family in turns. For example, if it is the turn of Ada or Omada to cook, she would invite five of her colleagues to assist her in cooking. One woman cooks for everybody in the house at a time but my other wives would always assist such a person.”

On if any of his sons has taken after him as a herbalist, he said,

“I will not encourage them to do so. I don’t want my sons to take after me because some of them will do bad things with my medicine. As a herbalist, I have never killed anybody or thought of evil against anybody but I do not trust that my children would be upright like me. That is why I will not encourage them to inherit my medicine but I may bequeath them to some of my younger children, not the old, greedy ones.”

Seven of his children are said to be ordained pastors.
