Some notable quotes said at some times by the popular Yoruba movie actor are:
“The most important thing is to be responsible in all ramifications”
“Being a polygamist is a matter of choice; it brings out the best in your wives. If she is the only one, she won't know her husband's worth but when she is competing with others; she will know why she needs to take better care of her husband”
“I am a responsible polygamist.”
“I like women very much. I cannot resist them. My mother is a woman. Just bring out a man that doesn't like a woman. Can we live without women?”
“I cannot resist women, even if I want to. You ask me why, I will tell you, and they are the reason why I am in business today. I get inspired by their discussions and use them as plot in my stories.”
