Clement Bonney, popularly known as ‘Mr. Beautiful’, has sparked a conversation about polygamy in Ghana.
In a recent interview, the renowned comedian and actor shared his thoughts on having multiple wives, stating that it’s not a bad practice. Mr. Beautiful argued that only financially struggling men view polygamy as a waste of resources.
According to him, wealthy individuals don’t see having multiple wives as unnecessary, implying that financial stability allows for a different perspective on the matter. Mr. Beautiful’s comments have ignited a debate about the cultural and financial implications of polygamy in Ghanaian society.
“In this world, if you don’t have money and people are talking about having multiple wives, you would see it as a nonsense issue.
“When you are broke or poor and they’re discussing people who have married about two or three wives you would get angry and say it’s stupid,” he stated.
He continued, “Because you don’t have money that’s why you are angry and raining all manner of insults but if you were rich you’d see that having multiple wives is so sweet.”
