86 wives not polygamy, Nigeria rules
6:15AM Thursday Oct 09, 2008

Authorities in Nigeria have dropped charges against an 84-year-old Islamic cleric accused of illegally having 86 wives in violation of the maximum of four, after his case was transferred to a criminal court.

The Niger state Sharia commission withdrew the charge of illegal marriage against Muhammadu Bello Masaba when he appeared before a magistrate court.

I could use some more wives, sure. Extra wives are great. They clean up after you, they make sure your supper is ready when you come home. Why not?

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said:
"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same."

Personally, I'm happy having one wife too many, of the monogamous kind, but somehow the quote seemed appropriate. He had 86 wives? That's more than one a year, every year, since birth.
