I won’t leave this world until I father 32 children – Isoko musician, Arube Otor set to marry three wives tomorrow

VANGUARD

Popular Isoko musician, Dr. Arube Otor, also known as Isoko Fela, is set to tie the knot with three of his wives in a grand ceremony tomorrow in Uzere, Delta State.

The 53-year-old musician, who already has nine children, is determined to have 32 children and provide them with university education.

Otor was born into a polygamous home and has always been comfortable with the idea of having multiple wives. Otor said that he decided to hold the marriage reception for his three wives on the same day to save costs.

In a chat with Saturday Vanguard, Otor said, “I had two wives before, but one walked out of the marriage. So, I was left with one wife until now that I am adding these three. I will be holding the marriage reception this Sunday, making them four wives. Mind you, I still have two other women that will soon join my list of wives, bringing them to six. I want to have 32 children and until I realize that dream, I won’t leave this earth.

“I was born into a polygamous home. My father had four wives. Growing up, we related very well and we also bonded with the various mothers. So, polygamy was never a problem in our home and we still maintain a healthy relationship among ourselves. All my children go to school, not one of them is in my band yet. I want all of them to be university graduates. I also want my first son to join the military.

Narrating how he resolves disputes among his wives, Otor said he ensures that they live in peace and love themselves. “I make sure my wives don’t fight among themselves. If they have any problem among themselves they report to me and I settle it. If it’s an issue between two of them, I would call the others to be there to witness how I settle the dispute so that they will also learn.

“My wives are doing their business. I don’t allow them to play music with me. My first wife is a hairdresser, the second one is a caterer, while the third one is a trader. The junior one now is also a hairdresser. I also have two concubines, whom I plan to marry soon.”
