Two generations above me, my grandparents' era, have different thinking or maybe the cost of living was much lower in raising up kids. Those era would see five to ten kids in one family. Initially it would be taxing on the parents but as they grow up and with the grandkids coming along, it would be fun when it comes to a family gathering. Not all big families will have happy ending. Some will treat their siblings as enemies, a tragedy indeed.
But I'm quite sure that nobody could beat this guy in Nigeria. Mohammed Bello Abubakar could be trying to register himself with the Guinness World of Records for his feat, having a total of 86 wives.Great idea? What's in him that attracted those women to him? If it was money I would understand but it wasn't to be. This guy has no job and none of his wives too. He needs US$915 (approx. RM3,020) to feed his family daily. Rumours have it that his children are out in the streets to beg and on a good day, they could bring in US$290.
Was it sex that drew their affection towards him? Mine you, with 86 wives and proper rotation a wife could only have him for four days in a year.
Apparently, some of the wives fell for him for his healing powers. Islamic authorities in Nigeria have labelled his family as a cult. Who are the cult members - his 86 wives and 170 children.
He has one advise for the men in the world. No, not the sexual advise part but he reminded men not to follow his footsteps unless you have the same strength as his which was given by god.

@_@ shocking....speechless....
Very shocking...
Why marry a guy who already has 85 wives? I really can't understand...
omg, i wonder how he remember all their names! and if some of the children have the same names :D
this is waaaay absurd man. what kind of healing powers does he have that all the ladies dig him? even Brad Pitt kalah to him. he is depriving his children a proper childhood.
I wonder if he even remember all his wives names. I assume he is an Islam. I thought an Islam can only have a maximum of 4 wives
I also don't understand why the women want to marry him. maybe he has some kind of power over them. It's weird and well, I just can't understand it!
It is really shocking .... Common man could not think a little bit of it. It is just beyond the imagination.
You have nicely explore the issue with simple, neat and interesting language. Keep it up with nice literature....
