Petronilla's marriage broke down

The man who also does not boast a lot of wealth first got married to Nabanti Maliya and they were blessed with three children.

An interview with Afrimax English revealed that one child died mysteriously, but the others thrived and the oldest, 20 years old, lives away from home. The other one, 19, lives at home with their parents.

One day Habinta's sister Petronilla showed up at their door saying her marriage was irretrievably broken and they all decided to live together.

My man made her pregnant

"Instead of going back home, she came here. My man fell in love with her and made her pregnant; they told me and we decided to live together," said Nabanti.
"We share everything, the man, bed, and food. We really love each other, " she added.

The 52-year-old and his first family used to live in a grass-thatched house but later looked for some money and built a bigger brick house on the shores of Lake Kivu where they all live together.

"Some things were just meant to be," said Petronilla Maliya.

Essien's brother was against new marriage

Essien's brother Sakabe Calvin never thought his brother would marry another wife and was really against the arrangement. Their friends and neighbours were also shocked by the developments.
