In my own opinion, the man should be jailed for child abuse because there is no way I will believe that he is or will be able to cater for all those kids. I think that the family is more of a breeding ground for criminals or criminals to be (no disrespect intended).

if the media didnt report this issue,will you be sitting there and typing rubbish?what do you mean by child abuse?is there any of his wives below 18years of age?Breeding ground for criminals indeed!how many of his children has been reported commiting crimes?This man has been managing his family for years before the media brought the story,he never went to the street to seek alms and should please be left alone.Where were the so-called sharia people when he married his fifth wife and went ahead to get the 80th one.Make them leave the man jwo!

abeg na true nobilia dey talk jare.

its this polygamic mentality that makes people think its a cultural thing to beat up women and children as if you're flogging animals.if he used to beat them up like animals,y should they go on a protest march but didnt decide to leave him to rot?

How do you maintain discipline in a house with 86 women and over 114 children? How else can you maintain discipline except by constant irrelevant threats and futile flogging?thats is what we are suppose to be finding out,how one man can control such household and if possible emulate him if he's stylr of diciplne is positive

Running the household like a concentration camp and I wonder if the man even knows all his children's names. He probably stopped bothering to remember after child #20. i have seen a man with only four wives but large number of children,he kept in touch with his family by opening a register,maybe that is what the hausa man may be doing to keep track of his household

As it is, I hope some of the kids don't have the same names- or who's keeping track?

after a while some of them may even marry each other.the media should have done their duty of finding those details,i am sure if there was a case in that household,it would have been reported

If only Maasaba was a business mogul who can contest Nigerian's presidential election, he would not only be worshipped, but be elected the Nigerian president. And his brother, IBB will not annul his election. Don't cry Maasaba, the hot water will soon get cold. This unnecessary attraction will make you so rich that no one can question you again. And if care is not taken, we will vote you as our President but you will not die in jail.

@C33B33,

You will make more sense without the insults.

Tell me how it is not child abuse to have 100 and something children in a single household. How would the mental and physical needs of those kids be met. Raising up a child is not about 3 square meal, it is about raising up a human being.
How would those children share their father's time, how would they feel loved in a family where the kids have to fight over their father's love.
If you do not see any thing wrong in this then you do not have any moral right to call my post nonsense because you got no sense and you may be from a broken home which is why you do not know what parental love means to a child's young mind.
The mere news traumatized me let alone the kids that live in that kind of enviroment. This is exactly what is wrong with us, the mentality that any individual can do whatever he or she wishes, it should not be so in this century of enlightment.
I am not talking about the wives, those sealed their fate with their own hands.

To those who said that god or God should forgive me, I hope he will forgive Baba too for perpetrating misery on those young minds that call him father.
