The story that captured the attention of many online users has taken an interesting turn, as Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi has now clarified that his controversial statement was intended as sarcasm.
The well-known advocate of polygamy had caused a stir with his previous statement, “If You Never Marry, Wait Small,” which was interpreted as a call for couples to postpone their nuptials due to the country’s current economic situation.
However, Dr. Lafiagi has now set the record straight, stating that his intention was to be humorous and not to be taken literally.
Following the clarification, Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi took to his official Facebook page to further reinforce his stance on polygamy, saying, “4 is the goal. If you never reach, keep going.”
In an attempt to add levity to the situation, Dr. Lafiagi even posted a scene from a Nollywood movie, where a character advocates for multiple marriages as a way to increase the population.
While some have expressed relief at the clarifying statement, others remain wary, pointing out that such statements, whether made in jest or not, can be interpreted in a variety of ways.
Amidst the controversy, Kwara Express urges the public to not take Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi’s sarcastic remarks to heart, as postponing marriage may not guarantee a better economic situation in the future.
The online news source emphasizes that there is no perfect time to get married, as economic conditions can be unpredictable and uncertain.
Kwara Express also advises individuals to consider their personal and financial circumstances carefully when making life-changing decisions such as marriage, taking into account their own values and beliefs rather than being swayed by external factors.
