He said, “There are people who cannot afford to feed one wife but are ready to marry three wives and have more children than they cannot feed, talk less of paying for their school fees. The poverty level of the North is 80 percent; while in the South, the percentage is 20 percent simply because of the culture of marrying many wives and producing many children who at the end are left on the streets to beg for what to eat.
The issues we have today such as drug abuse, Boko Haram, banditry and unemployment would be nothing compared to what we will be dealing with within the next 20 or 30.”
