This quite controversial statement, which advises men who are having problems with their wives to marry a second wife instead of resorting to domestic violence, has however sparked a debate online.

“If the second one gives headache too nko? If the third one gives headache nko? Okay, if the fourth one gives headache nko? Nawa o. This man does not know that every human being gives headache in one form or the other to other human beings.”
