Instead of facing cycles of divorce and remarriage, why not embrace multiple partnerships simultaneously if it fulfils her needs?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Okey\u2019s comments delve into a broader critique of the tendency of Africans to adopt Western marital norms without scrutinising their applicability to local contexts.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the prevalence of monogamy in African societies as a reflection of Western influence, suggesting that many Africans have disregarded polygamy and polyandry, which historically align with the continent\u2019s cultural framework.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Americans suddenly embraced polygamy, we\u2019d likely follow suit. We\u2019re often quick to mimic without asking what works best for us,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>He further expressed his reservations about the gradual adoption of practices he deems foreign, such as the normalisation of homosexuality in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging its growing acceptance worldwide, he lamented the external pressures from the West to conform to practices he believes contradict African traditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a slow infiltration of certain ideologies into our culture, and it\u2019s shaping how we live. We should be careful not to lose our identity,\u201d Okey cautioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor, Okey Bakassi Nigerian actor Okey Bakassi has stirred discussions on marriage and cultural practices by advocating for polyandry as a viable option for successful women who may find it aligns with their personal needs.
