Nigerian Mohammed Bello Abubakar, 84, has advised other men not to follow his example and marry 86 women. (He also has 170 children, by the way.)

Re: Nigerian man advises against 86 wives
Reading the article, its interesting that he notes Quran has not prescribed any punishment for having more than 4 wives (at a time). It is generally accepted that Islam prohibits having more than 4 wives. I had never heard this argument that there is no punishment. Considering he is past 75 yrs old, I guess he will find out real soon.
How he gets the money to feed his family also appears to be a bit of a mystery. I'd have thought this will be something easy to track down for a journalist. May be he is the one sending all those emails for claiming multi-million dollars from Idi Amin's forgotten bank account.

I can't figure out if this is really funny, disturbing, or scary.

The word disaster comes to my mind.
Most of his wives are less than a quarter of his age - and many are younger than some of his own children.
Also pimp comes to mind...until I saw wife Hafsat Bello Abubakar.
