Veteran Nigerian actor, director and producer, Prince Jide Kosoko has opened up on how his house turned into a hotel after the death of his second wife.
The 70-year-old grandpa claimed that after she passed away, he felt compelled to get married again as his home was slowly becoming a hotel.
According to the movie star in an interview with PUNCHng, following his wife’s death, he started bringing his girlfriends home and his friends also brought their girlfriends to his house which made it look like a brothel.
He said he was later forced to remarry after his doctor advised that he was too young not to be without a wife -he was just 40 years old then.
He then married two other women, actress HenriettaKosoko, and AlhajaBimbo. After some years, Henrietta also died and this drew more suspicion to the actor.
Speaking further, the comedic actor and polygamist remarked that he felt horrible about it as a human being when people accused him of using his three wives (all dead) as money rituals.
He further stated that he has been blackmailed many times and he believes God is dealing with controversial blogger, Kemi Olunloyo and those who attempted to discredit his reputation.
“I have been blackmailed many times, but I sailed through. They have called me a ‘ritualist’ before, which means I am a murderer.
Initially, as a human being, I felt bad. But my skin is too thick for all that rubbish. Instead of feeling bad, I will go on my knees and pray to God to give His judgment. And I always see these people get their judgment. I don’t want to mention names.
I don’t know anything about what is happening to Kemi Olunloyo and I don’t follow her on social media. Apart from her, there are other people who have rubbished my name in the past
Becoming a polygamist wasn’t my design. With my upbringing, I am not supposed to be a polygamist. Though my father was a polygamist, he didn’t marry the number of women I have married.
My first wife, Sola’s mother, was working with the Nigerian Customs Service. She was not involved in my industry and then I would travel for two months.
You can imagine that! So, I decided not to remarry again, though I had girlfriends; I was a ladies’ man.
Two of my girlfriends were very close to the house and my friends too would come with their girlfriends.
So, we were almost turning the house into a brothel. Later, my doctor, a lady, visited me and advised me to remarry.
She said it was the best for me, insisting that I was too young to be without a woman. I lost my two wives in 1992 and 1993 respectively, and I was not up to 40 then.
I agreed to take a wife in the long run, but I had two women who were intimate with me – Henrietta and Alhaja Bimbo. Since I couldn’t say no to either of them, I married two wives again.”
