The actress has always shared unique perspectives about issues relating to marriage and relationships.
In 2022, the actress PREMIUM TIMES times that she had chosen to distance herself from feminist ideology, noting that it had become too toxic for her liking.
Describing herself as a humanist rather than a feminist, the ‘To Kill A Monkey’ star said it was more important to care about humans.
“That means every individual: boy, girl, woman, man; everybody. My niche is the women and the girl child because there is so much to do concerning this issue in Nigeria,” she said.
Embracing polygamy
Bimbo has continued to share controversial takes on marriage and relationship affairs.
In the latest episode of the Talk to B podcast,hosted by actress Biola Adebayo, the actress said that, given the state of the world, people should embrace polygamy.
From a statistical standpoint, she said, “People should embrace it because your sister must marry somebody. You people say marriage is everything. So if we don’t have enough men, does that not make two women to one man?”
Traditionally, she said, polygamy is still a part of our culture. According to her, most people within the Generation X demography had parents who married two or three wives.
“It is something that was there when we were growing up. Maybe because we also saw the disadvantages, but some people say there are advantages to it.
“I know some women who would rather have a second wife. I know someone who married a second wife for her husband so that she could have peace. They didn’t have the same libido. His was higher than hers, so she just thought this man would kill me. Let me find support. And she married a wife for him,” Bimbo narrated in the interview which aired Sunday evening.
Futuristic approach
The actress suggests that if people desire monogamous relationships, they should focus on raising sons to value and practice fidelity, rather than simply accepting cheating as inevitable.
“That’s you contributing towards the world. Because all these men we are talking about, who are polygamous and cheats, were raised by someone. They were given those values by someone.
“So if you want a different world where it’s one man and one woman, and it’s perfect and they don’t cheat, raise your sons properly. Teach your sons that their body is the temple of God, the same way you teach your daughters. If you tell your daughters to cross their legs, tell your sons to close their arms,” Bimbo noted.
Deconstructing wife material
She said that marriages go sour because children change everything.
