89-year old Primate David Olonade
has many wives and he is not afraid to say it. The founder of The Ark of
Covenant Church, Aladura spoke with Kayode Falade of Punch on why he married
many wives and how he tries to treat them as angels.
How many wives do you have?
I have many wives but now I live
with only two.
Why did you marry more than one
wife?
I am a man of peace who abhors
violence, nagging or bickering. I don’t have time for such things. I see women
as fragile vessels. I have never laid my hands on any woman before in my life.
I don’t see any reason for a man to beat his wife. I take care of my wives to
the best of ability. I even pamper them. I don’t allow my wives to wash my
clothes. I see giving clothes to one’s wife to wash as a kind of punishment. As
such, I have always had a washer man to do my laundry. But some women being
what they are will still misbehave. When a woman becomes uncontrollable under
my roof, after many warnings, I invite her people and ask them to take her
away.
Why are you not living with all of
them?
