Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has sparked a conversation by sharing his views on monogamy
In a recent episode of “The Honest Bunch” podcast, Kanayo declared that he doesn’t subscribe to the idea of monogamy, citing its cultural incompatibility with African heritage.
Kanayo’s preference for polygamy is rooted in his belief that monogamy is a foreign concept imposed upon African societies.
Kanayo also disclosed that the concept of divorce was unfamiliar to him until he relocated to Lagos from the South East.
He noted that, in Igbo culture, divorce is viewed as a last resort, and that men would rather persevere in their marriage than opt for separation.
“I don’t believe in one wife. It is not our culture. It is not our tradition. It is not who we are. These are imported things.
“I never knew anything about divorce until we came to Lagos. The Igbo man prefers to die in the marriage than divorcing,” he said.

It is worth noting that Kanayo is publicly known to be married to one woman, Nneka Onyekwere.
