Moses Oyediran Enugu
An Enugu-Ezike based herbalist in Aji community of
Igboeze North LGA of Enugu state, Chief Simon Odo,
popularly referred to as ‘Onu Uwa’ says he desires to have
a village of his own, for a good reason:
The 68 years old herbal practitioner is married to all of 56
women and over 300 children, and he told Daily Times, “I
can only stop marrying more wives whenever I can no
longer satisfy women sexually.” The renowned herbalist
who branded himself “Africa’s King Solomon” our
correspondent that from biblical records, King Solomon
had 700 concubines; “There is nothing wrong in my having
retinue of wives”.
Early life Story “My name is Simon Odo, born in 1947
into a Christian family. I later became a mass server at St.
Mary’s Catholic Church, Aji where I was baptized in 1956
and got confirmed in 1958. I suffered so much as a child.
According his account, he lost his father at the age of 16
over a parcel of land his father swore he will not give up
to his kinsmen. “After his death, I was also inflicted with
tuberculosis by the same people because I demanded to
know the cause of the death of my father. I suffered from
the tuberculosis for five years after which they crippled
me for another five. At this point I cried and said, God
why will you allow all these to befall me.” How I became a
native doctor “After my outcry, I ran to one old native
doctor in Ijebu Ode and stayed there for seven years, it
was there I learnt the trade of native medicine and began
to practice. “I do all manner of jobs for people, but the
only thing I don’t do is to prepare charm for armed
robbers. If you go to Anambra state, all the people late
Osita Osadebe mentioned in his music “People’s club” had
at one time or the other visited my shrine for services.”
Counting 54 years in practice, Odo said he has aided
people to travel abroad with his native medicine practice
and boasts that no embassy can deny them visa to travel
to any country of their choice.. “I am not a politician, but a
good number of politicians are my clients, they come
here with all manner of gifts after a successful business.”
The women in my life “I have 56 wives and they all are
hardworking; some own restaurants while some are civil
servants. Three of my wives are graduates. At times I
quarrel with my wives, but it is on record that none of my
wives have been involved in adultery, because if anyone
of them indulges in adultery, she will be stuck with the
man without been separated for a long period; so none of
them can dream of keeping a man outside my home. “I
have sent about five of my wives home because of
misbehavior.” Daily Times gathered that his wives come
from the tribes and tongues across the country and he is
welcome wherever he proposes to a woman. “I married
both from Yoruba, Benue, Kogi, Calabar, Anambra and
Enugu among others. I will advise men not to marry up to
three wives. Any person who wishes to emulate me
should prepare his casket; this is my agreement with God.
I will not stop marrying till I die, or until my manhood
stops working. “I am a blessed man; I spend the average
of N1.4 million on feeding my household monthly and I
give out cars out as gifts to my in-laws.” The old fellow
said there is no magic to his love story as people may
think other than love and sexual satisfaction. “All my
marriages were gifts of love and not by charm. I marry all
my wives according to the custom and tradition of where
they come from. I don’t marry with less than N100,
000.00. I have built houses for some of my in-laws, and as
I said earlier some of my in-laws receive car gifts from
me; you can go and verify my claims. “I do not marry
anyone from rich families; I prefer to marry from the
poor ones because this enables me to help them one way
or the other. I came to the world for beautiful women to
love, to follow and marry me.” Short of being a
nymphomaniac, the Odo boasts he satisfies all his wives
sexually. “None of them have complained of sex
starvation; I make love to a reasonable number of them
daily and I believe that sexual satisfaction of my wives is a
gift from God. “The beautiful aspect of my family is that
there was a time about seven of my wives put to bed in
one day. The young ones that are still active in bed are
more than 11 at any given time, and my latest wife who I
just married last December is only 15 years.” Number of
children “My children are numerous and that is what I
bargained for as Africa’s King Solomon. Out of 56 wives,
some have seven, eight, five and three children; some are
still pregnant, just last week, one of them delivered a set
of twins. “I can’t say the number that is pregnant as I
speak with you. I feed all of them comfortably without
hassles. I have an estate to solve accommodation
challenges of my family. All my wives and children have
never complained of lack of accommodation. My children,
to say the fact, are over 300 to my credit.” Does he have
problems recognizing his children individually? “I
recognize my children because they all have marks as
identity. My children don’t mix themselves up either and
can never sleep with themselves or marry themselves. If
they do the person will die instantly: Training my children
“I am a lover of Western education; I own a nursery and
primary school where some of my children attend with
some of my wives as teachers, and I also employed other
capable teachers. I train those of them who crave for
education even to the university level. “Now, some of my
children are graduates; one of my daughters was the
immediate councilor that represented Aji ward and she
was the deputy leader of Igbo Eze North Local
Government legislative council. “Another of my daughter,
Amala, was given scholarship to further her in London.”
Need for my own village “My children all know
themselves because they all bear tribal marks which I
gave them; a good number of them are married with
children. In no distant time I may apply for recognition of
my own village ONUWA village. The number of my
children and great and great grand children command a
force in Aji community. “In my house, there is freedom of
worship; some of my children are Catholic, some
Anglican, while some attend Pentecostal Churches. We
still have those who took after me as native doctors. We
are one mega family; we consume one bag of rice every
Sunday and we eat from one big pot. “The grown up ones
are no longer staying with me; they have built their own
houses. My first son, Emeka Odo was born in 1969; he is
equally a native doctor with his own family. I have also
giving out many of my daughters hand marriage. Daily
Times spoke to his youngest of his wives he married just
last month, 15 years old Chidinma from Okutu village in
Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State. “I came in
contact with my husband who had married one girl from
my place; he approached me for marriage and I accepted,
then he went to my parents, performed the marriage rites
and took me as wife. I was in JSS III at the time of my
marriage.” Chidinma dispelled any rumour of her
husband using charm to marry young girls. “I want the
whole world to know that I married my husband out of
love. He came to my parents after he approached me and
we both agreed before going to seek my hands in
marriage from my parents, I became convinced he is the
one I want to marry even after I learnt that he is the
famous Onuwa with many wives I am not worried
because since I entered this house he has remained in
charge of his home and properly taking care of every of
our needs including that of all his children. “Onuwa has
these managerial skills of managing his home effectively.
We have not had any quarrels that we cannot manage”.
Another of his wives, Ado Odo, 24, is a graduate from
Benue State. “I am a 300 level student of Mass
Communication Department of Benue State University. I
am happily married to Chief Simon Odo, A.K.A Onuwa.
“My marriage to Onuwa is six loving months old and I
have never regretted taking my decision to marry my
husband. Since I married my husband he has remained
caring to both me and my other senior wives. He likes
education which is one of the reasons why I married him
because he promised that he will take care of my studies
to any level I want. “He is a man who keeps to his words;
just recently he bought a car for my mother and bought a
motor bike for me for my use. He has done a lot for my
parents and I want to carry his baby in no distant time.
My husband is full of life, honest and loving, not minding
our age bracket, he remains very understanding”. What
would you say to Africa’s King Solomon? He certainly
deserves the title, and a village to his name.
