GOOOGLE504:
A 76-year-old man, Ziona Chana, who married about 39 wives with 94 children died in northeast India on Sunday.

Reuters reports that the deceased headed the world’s largest family With a total of 167 members.

Despite the large family, Zion told Reuters in an interview a few years before his death that he wanted to grow the family even further.

“I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry,” he said.

“I have so many people to care for and look after, and I consider myself a lucky man.”

Zion, who was said to have lived in a four-story building with over a hundred rooms, attracted tourism to his village, in Mizoram.

He had 33 grandchildren who were all living with him, making the family a tourism attraction.

This is just crazy. Even if you have all the money in the world, that shouldn't make you do dumb things like this. I pray the offsprings don't end up crossing paths unknowingly and having relations or even getting married....we've heard of such cases over and over again. There's no how he'll recognize all of them. He must have given each one of them Matric number for better identification. Na everyday e go dey mark attendance. There's always jealousy and competition in a polygamous family. Why would any female see men like this and would still want to procreate with them.
Mohammed Abubakar Bello comes to mind. No be small headache that man give Sharia court. But, his record is only beaten because ziona's grandchildren were counted. Over to the northern brothers. Oya e ji masun.

I am not a northerner but there's nothing dumb about having large family if you have the financial capability to take care of them, it is only stupid when one lacks what it takes to be responsible. As for the rivalry and envy that happens when the polygamy is minimal. In a battalion like this, minding ones business is the order of the day grin

Some of our ijaw brothers still dey do the same thing.

As for offspring crossing each other, in ijaw world, i can't say for them, but cousins do. It's almost entirely normal to them.

@ op, may be that man would have lived up to 100 years plus, but with family wahala he had while he was alive, death would have been calling on him in different forms before he finally transited. sad cool

Bro, there's more to taking care of a family than just finances. Just giving out money to the mothers and telling the kids "go and meet your mother" whenever they need you, is just not enough.
