Veteran Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, has revealed his greatest regret in life which he attributed to being a polygamist.
Kosoko was married to four wives out of whom three are dead.
In an interview with Punch recently, the actor the last thing he would wish his enemy is to practice polygamy.
The 62-year-old actor, who has over 12 children, said: “Let me say this today for the first time, from the beginning of my life I never planned to be a polygamist. I found myself in that situation and I had to adjust to the system. I didn’t set out in life to go into polygamy.
“I was never designed to have more than one. My major regret in life is that I went into polygamy. I regret it.
“Let me tell you, I don’t pray that my enemy should practice polygamy. And, this should be a lesson to the young ones coming. I know some people will say their religion permits it, but the religion did not enforce it. I have serious business to do now. I have young children to take care of.”
Speaking on some people calling for investigation over the death of his third wife, Henrietta, the movie legend stated: “Henrietta lived with me for over 20 years. I never expected or prayed that she would die.
“It saddens my heart when I hear people saying all sorts of things about her death. We all come to this world at one point in time and our exit will happen one day whether we like it or not.
“God is the giver of life. He gives it and takes it when He likes. I wish I could stop Henrietta from dying. I believe she died at God’s appointed time for her. If it is my turn tomorrow, I will not exceed that day. It is in whose place to say that someone’s death is not natural? I leave them to their belief. I leave them to God.”
