He said;"You know the Abiola family we are not that much oh because people are thinking we are a lot, we are only 55 .
Interviewer interrupted and Asked; Really,out of how many wives ?
He responds;Well they were 40 wives according to the Will but I think they are forty something though,there were some wives that were not there at the end but not the beginning but at the end. But they were 40 wives,most of the wives had maybe one or two for my dad not every one of them,so when my father was alive he was paying for 103 children to go to school but like I said, not all of them were his.

So after the blood test we happen to be fifty five which is actually a manageable number if we are in a country of 220million people,you will think my father was enjoying himself but apparently he wasn't enjoying himself that much because it's only 55 children with all the time he had,for me I reached out to them, you know some of them were really young most of the..were really young at a time as well but now we are all adults so reached out we tried to synergize.
When we took over Concord newspaper the concord premises,I renovated it with their support once it was renovated we got it leased it out to certain businesses just so that we could generate funds.The idea wasn't to just do Concord,it was to do it one step at a time like you have a big cake you don't eat the cake all at once you cut it into slices right? So I was thinking let's do the Concord let me show my capacity, let me show what I'm able to do, let me also show that I'm a good accountant of what you've entrusted to me so when we get money from this property I split it will all the siblings and this is the only way it can work and i think my father made that clear in the Will.
He stated it,he said okay after he has given all the wives the money and what was rightfully theirs,he said everything else should be sold and shared among equally among all my children.
I don't really believe my father wanted to sell it but he wanted us to come together as one unit, but some reasons we are still not able to synergize especially with the first family and I'm having...."
The interviewer interrupted; That's Simbi's children which Kola is the first child.
With Mic On Podcast
It is well
ReplyDeleteHe was a father to many.
Abiola had 40 wives.... now you see?
ReplyDeleteJust ordinary one sidechick wey person go try wan get quarrel go start for house 😕
Hope you are seeing the end result of the 40 wives......
DeleteAbeg, it's not everything you'll make a joke of....Like someone said up, you can see the results that polygamy is not for the faint-hearted
DeleteWonderful. They are many, large family
ReplyDeleteSurprised
ReplyDeleteI thought young girls should emulate the older generation 😂 almost half of his supposed kids were not his 🤣 polygamy favors the rich in the potopoto
ReplyDeleteFan Emmanuel
I would have thought it more than that sef.
ReplyDeleteTheir father wanted them to sell it because he knows there is no love between them.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been better,if they can manage it well,share the profit from the businesses and grow them,by now we will still be hearing of their father's different investment.
Egbon Kola should obey the will,if he can't do the right thing,let everyone do whatever they want with their share.
Evil of polygamy, although it also happens in few monogamous family,where the first son will turn himself to Lord.
MKO's gene is strong! If he was alive, he wouldn't go through the hassles of DNA. Didn't know he married up to 40 sha, I knew he was doing "one child, one house". An "egbon adugbo" 's friend was a"beneficiary"😊
ReplyDeleteYou see polygamy you would definitely trained other men children. The wives would never stay faithful. So more than 50 children he was training while alive were not his. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteWhat??? 40 wives abi concubines???
ReplyDeletePolygamy comes with lots of issues if not properly handled.
Even monogamous family have issues,but this polygamy is on another level,it's good to have properties but when it causes strive and crises,it's better sold off and the money shared so you do whatever you want with yours..but the thing is,will the money reach all the children?
ReplyDeleteOver to polygamy supporters. 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeletePaternity fraud pro max.
ReplyDeleteKola should at least try and settle the other siblings after all these years and I think he his kudirat son, he should just do the needful.
ReplyDeleteThe children will never be close in such a large family. I don't even have 10 really close friends, no way that I could be truly close to more than 5 or 6 siblings. What is the point of polygamy if it is not adding to anyone else's life except the man's.
ReplyDeleteWow 😳 40wives
ReplyDeleteOver 50children were not HiS
Paternity fraud no start today
In other words, MKO was training over 50 bastards. Men have been suffering walahi!
ReplyDeleteTope FnR one of them. Matopedia
DeleteThe other chilren should just move on which with this depereviatkng Naiara nd high inflation. There was one the children that pitched for a business loan some years back on Dragon's Den she narrated her story of her dad MKO and how he died. She won the pitch, I have forgotten her name but she is doing OK in the UK. Abdul just move on God will help you.
ReplyDeleteHer name is Koforola Abiola
Delete40 wives 😮😮😮😮😮😮MKO was a strong man, I am still trying to understand why that many.
ReplyDeleteAnd they say Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a bad guy.
ReplyDelete40 wives
ReplyDeleteOpareee ooooo
MKO nah Man you be ooo🤣🤣
Hello iya boys
The psychology of it... These children fighting for their right have mothers who were a scourge to Simbi who actually did the heavy lifting to make Abiola who he became before the fairweather women came to invest their bodies in his beds and even after that. She started and find many of the companies while he tidied the numbers. While Abiola was running about like a dog in heat and taking dangerous selfish risks, sponsoring coups that made innocent children fatherless, Simbi was battling for her life knowing her husband would still prioritize his libido when she passed on from a serious illness. Her children were not even allowed to mourn before they had to go in head long for his last campaign with political bedfellows that were different from his usual right leaning, government-backed crowd who would have let him choose between his ambition and his freedom line the last times.
ReplyDeleteKola is very much like his father in terms of putting himself first and daming consequences. . These Abiola children not born by Simbi should face their mothers for dropping skirt to cry in a range Rover. You don't expect him to give up his mother's sweat for the spawn of who he considers as loose women.
You know it!
