The wedding ceremony began with a concert, followed by the couples driving in a convoy to applause from others who had gathered on the roadside to witness the ceremony.

Some individuals couldn’t believe it was real, while others said it was their first time witnessing such an event.

Mariam, Madinah, Aisha, Zainabu, Fatuma, Rashida, and Musanyusa, Habib’s first wife who has been with him for seven years, are among the spouses.

The Ugandan Businessman also purchased brand-new cars as gifts for each of his wives.

The brides arrived at the reception to find their chairs ready and labelled with their names.

In his address during the reception, Nsikonnene praised his wives for their loyalty to him.

“My wives harbour no jealousy amongst themselves,” he declared with pride.

“I introduced them separately and decided to wed them all at once to make one big happy family.”

He stated that he intends to add more wives in the future.

“I am still a young man and in the near future, God willing, I cannot say this is the end of it,” he added.

Hajj Abdul Ssemakula, the groom’s father, stated that polygamy has been practised in his family, adding that his grandpa had six wives who were divided by curtains in a single residence.

“My own late father had 5 wives and I myself have four wives who live in one house,” he said.

Habib is claimed to have broken the Ugandan record for marrying the most wives at once.
