Mohammed Bello Abubakar, 84 years old, a charismatic man, manage him self to marry more than 4 woman. Some of Mr. Bello wives are younger than some of his children.
The former teacher and Muslim preacher, who lives in Niger State with his wives and at least 170 children, says he is able to cope only with the help of God.
"A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," he told the BBC.
He says his wives have sought him out because of his reputation as a healer.
"I don't go looking for them, they come to me. I will consider the fact that God has asked me to do it and I will just marry them."

renovatio, I like this story. "86 wives, muslim preacher, 170 children" that the good healing genetics" survive, multiply like rabbits for majority thinking. Can't help, soon 10 bn people "eat & $hit" on this planet. Overpopulation has to be controlled like in china 1 child family/man.

With 86 wives, there is obviously no need to prevent prostitution. What is the birthcontrol prevention plan? Probably none.

Well, perhaps you should ask him to control for his desire to have a children. :)
