The Problem With 86 Wives
Oh, where to begin with this one? It seems an Islamic holy man in Nigeria has overstepped the Koran’s teaching on polygamy -by about 23 times! Islamic law allows for 4 wives, but Mohammed Bello has 86. I guess he really likes the bridal registry at Nigerian Target.
Even more amazing is the fact that he has 170 children! That’s one more person than my entire graduating class in high school. Unfortunately for Mr. Bello, he lives in a part of Nigeria that observes Sharia law and authorities have ordered the serial groom to divorce all but four of his wives.
Either way, this guy is going to come out of this looking like Rocky after 15 rounds with Apollo Creed. If things stay like they are, he will be celebrating a birthday or an anniversary every 2-3 days. No man can survive that kind of pressure. If he complies with the government, he’s going to have 82 divorces. If he wasn’t living in a hut before, he will be after that!
Carry on, Citizens!

Wow, would that make a great gameshow: He could pick the divorcees in a Bachelor meets Survivor meets Brett Michael’s Rock of Love.
The real problem isn’t so much the wives … it’s enduring the frequent visits and constant nagging of of 83 mothers-in-law who all thought their daughter “could have done so much better.”
Not to mention, it must take him DAYS to get permission to go out with the guys to watch Monday Night Football.
Darrin,
83 mothers-in-law! Now we know the real reason polygamy didn’t catch on!

yOmbo,
I’m pretty sure that combination of shows would cause the earth to spin of its axis or Starship to reform. Neither of which would be good for the average citizen!
