Wonders indeed shall end! Meet the 69 year old herbalist, Chief Simon Odo, who married an 18 year old girl, Chidinma, as his 57th wife last November and now says he won’t marry again.Chidinma was married from Okutu, in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State.Chief Odo, also known variously as Onuwa, King Solomon of Africa or King of Satan was married to 68 women but some of them had earlier died.
Augustina Odo (nee Asogwa) and Virginia, nee Mogbo from Oraifite were among the dead ones.Odo spoke in an interview with the South East Voice at his palatial home at Aji, Enugu Ezike in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Onuwa who was armed with an Onward note book where names of his wives and over 200 children were listed according to their dates of birth said that his first son, Emeka was born on December 15, 1969.
“I was born in 1947 on the day they had an eclipse of the sun and the moon. There was darkness in the afternoon on the day I was born. I was the only son of my parents.“I was baptised as a Christian in the Catholic Church and I even became a mass servant under Rev Father Desmond McGlade.“I however became a herbalist because of circumstances beyond my control. As I said, I was the only son of my parents but because some of his relations wanted to take over his landed property, they poisoned me. I contracted tuberculosis and had to be treated for years.
“At a point, I was even unable to walk for about five years because I became lame. I ran to Ondo State in the South West, where I trained to become a herbalist at the age of 15, before returning to the village.
“I married 15 wives when my father was alive and the situation prolonged his life. He died in 1992 at the ripe old age of over 90 years. My first son has seven children and four grandchildren. Any of my children who chooses to become a Christian is free to do so, provided he/she must become a Catholic. I don’t like the Pentecostal churches.”
On feeding of his large family, Onuwa said:
“People think that I feed many of them but this is not true. Most of my children are grown up.
The boys among them usually marry and go to their own houses just like the girls who marry and follow their husbands to their places.However, my wives cook food for the whole family in turns.

What I hold against this marriage is polygamy, not the man's age because young girls have old men as sugar daddies. It is better they become husband and wife than for them to commit sexual immorality.

Even in the east? Now that's really surprising.

Hope the women are getting married to him with their clear eyes?
