Prominent Isoko highlife artist, Dr. Arube Otor, widely recognized as Isoko Fela, has expressed his steadfast goal of having 32 children before his time on earth concludes.

At 53 years old and already a father of nine, Otor is preparing to marry three additional wives in a lavish ceremony scheduled for Sunday in Uzere, Delta State, which will increase his total to four wives.

“I want to have 32 children, and until I realise that dream, I won’t leave this earth,” Otor stated in an interview with Saturday Vanguard.

Growing up in a polygamous household, Otor has fully embraced this lifestyle, reflecting on the positive relationships he experienced with his father's four wives during his upbringing.

“Polygamy was never a problem in our home. We bonded well and still maintain a healthy relationship,” he remarked.

Regarding his choice to host a single reception for his three new wives, Otor explained that it is a practical decision to save costs. “I’ve already paid their bride prices, and we’ve been living together. The event is just a reception. Members of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria will provide music, and logistics for refreshments are finalised. It will be a big day,” he noted.

Otor also intends to marry two more women in the near future, ensuring that his wives coexist peacefully. “If there’s a dispute, I mediate in the presence of the others so everyone learns from the resolution. My wives are independent; one is a hairdresser, another a caterer, and one a trader,” he shared.

Despite his age, Otor remains confident in his ability to meet his marital responsibilities. He credits his energy to a wholesome diet, steering clear of rice and aphrodisiacs. “I avoid rice because it diminishes a man's strength. My diet keeps me healthy and prepared. I visit each of my wives weekly, ensuring that none of them feels overlooked,” he concluded.
