Popular Nigerian actress and media personality Omotunde Adebowale-David, widely known as Lolo 1, has stirred up a conversation online after boldly declaring that she would rather be a co-wife than a side chick. The actress, known for her role in Jenifa’s Diary, made the statement during a recent podcast appearance with fellow actress Bimbo Akintola, where she shared her honest views on love, marriage, and relationships.
Lolo explained that she has more respect for polygamy than for secret affairs. According to her, being a co-wife in an open and acknowledged marriage is far better than being a hidden mistress. “I would rather a man be polygamous than for him to be married and have a side chick. That’s the one I would not contend with,” she said. Her comment has since sparked widespread debate, with many agreeing with her perspective on honesty in relationships, while others criticized the idea of polygamy as outdated.
The actress went on to emphasize that she values fairness and transparency above anything else in a relationship. To her, there is more dignity in being part of a recognized family structure than being involved in a secret relationship that lacks accountability. Lolo added that while she is not promoting polygamy, she believes every woman deserves to know her place and be treated with respect.
Her statement comes at a time when conversations about marriage dynamics and relationship boundaries have become more open in the entertainment scene. Fans have taken to social media to praise her for speaking her truth without fear of judgment, while some questioned whether her comments reflect a growing acceptance of polygamous unions in modern society.
Lolo 1’s candidness once again highlights her reputation as one of Nollywood’s most outspoken voices, unafraid to challenge societal norms.
