Although is strange in Ghana for a man to marry more than 2 women, but a man named John Bawa Zuure, who happens to be the chief of Tenzug in the Talensi District of the Upper East region, has gone beyond our normal 2 or 3 wives to marrying 23 wives and having given birth to 115 children.
Some of our Ghanaian women wouldn’t want to be second or third wives to any man as they prefer to keep their men to themselves and not share with anyone. But we are tempted to ask how did these wives of the chief agree to marry him even though they know he has other wives and they are just going to add up the number of wives.

In an interview with Adom TV, Bawa Zuure revealed the size of his family stating that they were 420 in all.
This includes children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He said some members of the family are working outside the region but currently, 320 of them live with him in his House.

He added that he has always provided his many families with everything they needed, adding that many of his senior brothers have been able to acquire better education and for that matter, working in reputable institutions across the country due to assistance received from his large family.

‘I am very excited to have such large family. My wives are very happy and I satisfy them at the appropriate time and even all my brothers have been educated all because of me. I really thank God for such a family”, he said.
Bawa Zuure said the motive behind the establishment of such a large family is to earn public respect and would want to marry more.
