Ghanaian TikTok comedian Ben South has ignited reactions online after recommending polygamy as a path to a long life for men.
Speaking during an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM on October 7, Ben South argued that men who marry just one wife are more likely to face problems, citing biblical examples that, in his view, support polygamy.
“If you look at the Bible, men with one wife tend to have problems; that one wife will bring problems for them. For example, Adam and Samson. But men with two wives never had problems in the Bible,” he said.

He went on to claim that a single wife might become too comfortable and behave in ways that negatively affect the relationship, whereas having two wives would push each to “level up.”
“I feel like having two wives is more beneficial. If you want to live long, marry two wives. When you marry one wife, she will fight with you; when you marry two wives, they will fight for you … but when she realises that it is not just her, that there is someone else, she will level up,” Ben South added.
