In bizarre news, Nigerian Man has 86 Wives, 107 Children
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26735448/

ABUJA, Nigeria - Police in northern Nigeria have arrested a Muslim preacher who has 86 wives and 107 children for breaking Islamic marriage laws.

Niger state police spokesman Richard Oguche says Mohammed Bello Masaba, 84, was detained Monday.





I'm not even sure what to think of that. 86 wives? 107 kids? Do they all have nametags?

3. With that many kids, one of them is bound to be the recently exiled cousin of the former President!
He's sitting on a fortune of $25,000,000 USD, apparently, but will need YOUR cosign to move it out of the country. At a 10% fee, you stand to earn...

6. last time I looked, it was 3..........
That's considerably more than three, and I suggest that the man learn that recreational sex requires birth control.

11. Mr. Masaba wasn't very potent, was he?

86 wives and only 107 children. Maybe he only got around to 30 or so.

14. Possibly a great example of the Cooledge Effect.


In biology and psychology, the term Coolidge effect describes a phenomenon – seen in nearly every species in which it has been tested – whereby males show continuously high sexual performance given the introduction of new receptive females.<1><2> The sex difference that the effect refers to is explained by Bateman's principle.
