Jide-KosokoPopular Nigerian actor, Jide Kosoko, has revealed that his greatest regret in life is that he ended up a polygamist as he married four wives.
The actor, who has lost three of his wives to the cold hands of death, told Punch newspaper that he does not wish polygamy for even his enemy.
“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,”,the 62-year-old actor said.
“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.”
Kosoko, who has 12 children was asked if he would love to have more children, he said, “That will be madness. Stage madness. Apart from age, if you hear that Jide Kosoko welcomes new baby tomorrow, I am sure you will say this man is mad.
“Am I going to be selling the children to make money?” Kosoko asked rhetorically.

Diekara 01
Diekara Oloruntoba-Oju is definitely not your average Nigerian 20-year-old. This interesting young lady just launched her first book, a thought-provoking piece titled ‘When Lemons Grow on Orange Trees’ at the Goethe-Institut, Lagos and it has been garnering rave reviews.
At 16, many Nigerian girls are certainly not thinking of being hard at work furiously typing away on a computer churning out inspiring words in the form of a novel. Not at all. At 16, away from the allure of teenage tendencies, Diekara took it upon herself to begin and complete a task that most adults struggle with executing.
Diekara When Lemons Grow On Orange Trees 01
A young, Chimanda Adichie in the making, Miss Oloruntoba-Oju says she began her sojourn as a writer at the age of five (or four according to a correction made by her mother at her book reading) with a poem written about a dying bird.
Speaking on what prompted her foray into the world of literature, she said at her book launch, “When you are the daughter of two university academics, and you live in the quiet and sometimes boring environment of Ilorin you read”. She cites  Sefi Atta, Igoni Barrett, Jumoke Verrissimo, Lola Shoneyin and Dami Ajayi as some of her literary influences.
Diekara 03
Diekara, or Dieko a childhood nickname that stuck with her over the years decided to put her creativity to the test at an early age and tread along paths trudged on by her role models and she is already getting quite the recognition. Top Nigerian authors like Molara Wood and Lola Shoneyin graced her book launch to show their support and admiration for the young writer.
Prolific musician and former judge on the MTN Project Fame, Ade Bantu as well as a number of upcoming writers and poets, academics and students all came to bear witness as Miss Diekara unveiled her thoughts laid bare on paper. Commenting on the Dieko’s successful book launch, Molara Wood acknowledged that the event turned out to be one of the book readings with the largest turnout in recent times.
Diekara 02
Our star of the moment believes in the future and her country. According to her, Nigeria needs more pro-active people ready to disrupt the status quo and proliferate innovation. She has started to fight this battle in her own unique way by immortalising greatness in ink one page after another.
