Former Chief of General Staff in Gen. Abacha’s government, Lt. General Oladipo Diya clocked 70 years recently and the ex-military governor of Ogun State took a deep reflection about his life and revealed why he is married to two women in spite of the fact that he is a born again Christian and the son of a pastor.

Hear him: “The issue of wives differs from one denomination to another. You have a denomination where you will not even marry at all, so, if anybody talks about two wives and you have a wife, why don’t you even take an example from the Catholic and don’t marry at all? The bible says that those of you who want to be Canons, take unto yourselves a wife. In other words, those who want to be Canons and Bishops should take one wife. When Jesus was asked about a woman who married seven brothers from the same family, he said there is nothing like marriage when we get to heaven. This issue of marriage ends here, so the question about wives is the decision of individuals as long as one’s heart is pure and Jesus said it too, that blessed are the pure in hear, for they shall see God.
