The nagging must be up to the level of biblical proportions…

Man Marries 107 Women, Fathers 185 Children

The phrase “I do” comes once — maybe twice or thrice — in most people’s lives. For one man in Niger, it comes on a weekly basis.

Bello Maasaba, an Islamic faith healer, has married a grand total of 107 eager women.

In a country with a long tradition of polygamy, the number is still quite, quite high. The number of children fathered by the popular healer also reaches skyward: 185 in all.

But why?

“I get a revelation from God telling me any woman I’m going to marry. If it wasn’t from God, I wouldn’t have gone beyond two,” he explained to Los Angeles Times writer Robyn Dixon.

Maasaba said that he was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who told him to pursue faith healing and marry many, many women.
