Man Dies & Leaves Behind 100 Widows

Jen Fad · Wednesday, October 6th 2010 at 9:23PM · 1127 views
Kenya's most prominent polygamist has died having married more than 100 women in his lifetime and fathered nearly 200 children. Nicknamed "Danger" because women were so attracted by his handsome looks, Ancentus Akuku was in his late 90's when he passed away of natural causes...

His death was the number one topic of Kenyan media today. Radio stations featured call-in shows of people, especially men, paying their respects. In many tribes having several wives was a sign of wealth and status for a man. Danger Akuku represented the ultimate symbol of traditional manhood -- and of a time when gender relations seemed more simple than today.

@ Brother Mo~ Who said anything about the women being satisfied? It's Africa don't you know~~ only the man needs to be satisfied.

@ Sister Cynthia

[He married 130 wives,divorcing 30 between the years.The first wife,Dinah Akuku,was married in 1939 while the youngest wife,Josephine Akuku,35,was married in 1992.
There are graves of twelve wives in his home.He once said that he had hundreds of children. Also thirty five sons and 20 daughters had died... He brought up a family of diverse proffessionals including doctors,engineers,teachers and policemen.The best thing about him-he cherished education.]

I'd say that's a pretty amazing accomplishment!!
