In a recent interview, veteran actor, Adebayo Salami aka Oga Bello, blamed stardom and his destiny for ending up with 18 children as he advised the youth not to follow his footsteps.
In his words;
“The fact that I have many children is by destiny, because I did not plan for it. It happened when stardom came and there was nothing I could do.
“Female fans were all over me and one way or the other, they wanted to attach themselves to me. I was just doing it. Now, I believe it is my destiny, because God gave me all I needed to use to train them.
“But not everyone would have the grace or opportunity like Bello. So, I will not advise anyone to have many children. Apart from the present harsh situation of the economy, I will not even advise anyone to marry two wives. If I had my way, I would have loved to have a smaller family. But it is my destiny, like I said earlier.”
He also spoke on how he reacted when his son, Femi Adebayo, told him he was getting married for the second time.
He said: “We have been looking forward to that. When his first wife left eight years ago, he did not want to marry anymore. But at his age, it is not good for him to be alone for the rest of his life. I really was disturbed. We kept on searching, hoping he gives marriage another chance, until he brought his new wife to us. I am happy he eventually did.”
