“I started with two wives from one family followed by another two also from one family. Then I got three also from one family followed by two others from one family and one who is the youngest.
Whenever I married a woman, my in-laws gave me another one. I think this was God’s plan and the power of my spirits.
When I got money after selling my produce, I built a house with twelve rooms. Each woman sleeps in one room and I keep moving from one room to another,” the modern day King Solomon said.
Oburu, an only child, said he decided to marry many women was to expand his Baise Ngobi clan.
