Highlife musician set to wed three wives on Jan.19

 Popular Nigerian highlife musician Dr. Arube Otor is set to wed three women in the same day in Delta state on January 19.

In a viral flier on social media, Dr. Arube is seen dressed in matching attire with his three soon-to-be wives: Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro, all hailing from Delta State.

Arube’s foster son and one of the RSVPs, Emperor Efih (Oscar), shared details about the ceremony.

According to Efih, the wedding will take place as announced, though the initial plan to wed four women was altered after one of the brides-to-be withdrew for personal reasons.

Explaining the rationale behind Arube’s decision, Efih said, “Arube married two women about 20 years ago. One divorced him, leaving him with just one wife. To cut costs, he decided to marry four women this year. Along the way, one pulled out,” said as quoted by Nigeria's PUNCH.

Efih also highlighted Arube’s legacy in the Delta music scene. “He is a music legend in Delta. He sings Isoko highlife. He has been in the music scene for over 30 years. 

However, at the beginning of his life, he was a driver who mixed music with his career. He had a band with a group of people, but they split up, and he formed his dance band, which he named Arube, about 12 years ago. Since then, he has released more than 10 albums.”
