“When my father was alive, he married three women, and the remarkable thing was that when these women had children, you couldn’t tell which woman gave birth to which child. We lived together, ate together, and play together.
"The musician explained that he chose to marry the three women on the same day because of the love and unity they share. “They genuinely care for each other, and I could see the bond among them. It made my decision easier,” he said.
Otor is no stranger to managing relationships, as he was already married to his first wife before deciding to bring three more women into the family. He emphasized that his senior wife was aware of his intentions and gave her support. “She cooperated, and there was no negative reaction from her or any of the others. Even on the wedding day, all of us will wear the same attire,”
he revealed.When asked how he plans to balance love and attention among his wives, Otor shared a detailed plan.
“Each wife will stay with me for three days. The sexual aspect will be rotational, and the wife staying with me during those three days will also prepare my food,” he explained.
The musician added that all his wives will live together in the same compound, fostering unity and shared responsibility.With nine children already and two more wives planned for the future, Otor believes he is financially prepared to cater to his growing family. “With the help of God, all things are possible,” he said.
His wives also contribute to the household income, with professions ranging from hairdressing and catering to trading.
On handling potential conflicts, Otor said he will act swiftly to resolve disputes. “If I see anything like jealousy or quarrels, I’ll address it immediately. Women may quarrel from time to time, but we must manage such situations calmly,” he noted.

The musician dismissed criticism of his lifestyle, stating that he follows his heart and values over societal expectations.
“God rules my life, not human beings. If someone is uncomfortable with how I choose to live, they can simply leave me alone,” he said.
Otor also advised others to live according to their means and personal values. “If your heart can handle polygamy, go ahead. If not, don’t,” he added.
Reflecting on what he loves most about his wives, Otor said each brings unique strengths to the relationship. “Some excel in intimacy, others in maintaining a home, and some are exceptional cooks,” he said.
As preparations for the wedding continue, Otor’s grown children have expressed their support, purchasing outfits for the occasion. He hopes his decision will inspire others to embrace their unique paths in life.
“My advice is simple: whatever you start, ensure you can finish. If you know you can’t finish something, don’t start it,” he concluded.
Otor’s story has sparked debates on tradition, relationships, and personal choice, but the Isoko musician remains steadfast in his belief that his lifestyle is a reflection of his upbringing and values. For him, love, unity, and respect are the cornerstones of his polygamous family.
