Popular Ghanaian man of God and founder of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, Prophet Nicholas Osei, widely known as Prophet Kumchacha, has once again stirred the hornet’s nest with his outspoken views—this time backing polygamy as a path to longevity and peace in marriage.
During an intervciew on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, Prophet Kumchacha did not mince words when he declared his desire to marry three wives—if only he had the financial means.
“God should help me get money, I’ll marry three wives,” the controversial man of God proclaimed, prompting both amusement and sharp critique from viewers.
“A Man Who Marries Only One Woman Dies Early”
Backing his claim with unorthodox reasoning, Prophet Kumchacha argued that polygamy enhances a man’s life expectancy.
According to him, men who marry just one woman are more likely to die early, due to the burdens that come with monogamy and alleged lack of peace in the home.
“A man who marries only one woman dies early,” he insisted, suggesting that multiple wives could share emotional and domestic responsibilities, lessening the stress on one woman—and by extension, the man.
“99% of Married Men Have Mistresses”
Kumchacha didn’t stop there. He also asserted that the majority of married men already engage in extramarital affairs, albeit secretly, and positioned polygamy as the more honest alternative.
“99% of married men have mistresses,” he claimed, arguing that instead of hiding affairs, it would be more transparent and morally justifiable to marry multiple women under religious and cultural law.
