Real reason I’m getting married to three women on same day – Delta musician opens up

Delta State highlife musician Arube Otor, popularly known as Isoko Fela, has shed light on his decision to marry three women simultaneously.

The Uzere-born artist gained widespread attention after a wedding flier featuring him with his three brides, Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro, surfaced online.

In an interview with Punch, Arube revealed that his choice was influenced by the example of his late father, who successfully managed a harmonious polygamous home with three wives.

He noted that growing up in such an environment taught him the value of love, unity, and mutual respect in a large family.

Arube emphasized that the strong bond and mutual understanding among his brides also played a significant role in his decision, as he believed they could replicate the unity he experienced in his upbringing.

This unique marital arrangement has sparked conversations about polygamy and cultural traditions in modern society.

He further explained that the choice to marry all three women on the same day was driven by the deep love and mutual respect they share.

Arube said that his brides genuinely care for one another and have shown unwavering support for each other, which gave him confidence that they could live together harmoniously as one family.

He said, “First of all, I am Arube Otor, popularly known as Isoko Fela. I am from Uzere, Isoko South Local Government Area, Delta State, and I am a musician who plays Isoko highlife music.

“What inspired me to decide to marry three women on the same day is rooted in my father’s example. When my father was alive, he married three women, and the remarkable thing was that when these women had children, you couldn’t tell which woman gave birth to which child. We lived together, ate together, and played together. This experience, growing up in such a unified family, greatly influenced my decision to marry three additional women.

“The reason I decided to marry them on the same day is because of the deep love the three women share for one another. They genuinely care for each other, and I could see the unity among them. This made it easier for me to decide that I would marry them on the same day, as they support one another in every way.”

The wedding is scheduled to take place on January 19, 2025, at the Anglican Church Field in Uzere, Isoko South Local Government Area.
