JIDE CHORD (Jide Akinwunmi) is an epitome of creativity. Since he left Nigeria in the late 80s for the United Kingdom (UK), the Ogun State born, Ibadan Oyo state (South Western Nigeria) raised seasoned musician has re-created a new sector in the black entertainment community in the Diaspora.

He is one of the few souls who got into the entertainment business with a head full of ideas and a school degree. JIDE CHORD started his career as a Journalist with PUNCH Newspaper before going into Public Relations, Banking and Music.

His antecedent as a Choir Master in his local church (Celestial Church of Christ) soon became an asset that set him apart and gave him a niche as he started a musical band in London while still working in other departments of the European society.

His band, London Merry Makers soon redefined JUJU Music and became the delight of many high profile Nigerians, Africans and white community entertainment enthusiast in the UK as the British Art Council engaged JIDE CHORD in so many local and foreign events.

Since then, he grew in leaps and bounds and soon became a household name both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

He has released couple of albums with FESTIVAL OF LOVE being his most celebrated album.

Now settled in Nigeria, the Juju Music maestro and creator of JUJU LAMBADA opened up to Asabe Africa TV during a recent exclusive chat inside his hotel suite on why he married a second wife.

He equally used the occasion to share his political views and gave testimony to the grace of God that saved him from COVID last year in London.

    29,30 “This is a permanent law: You must do no work on the twenty-fifth day of Septembere, but must spend the day in self-examination and humility. This applies whether you are born in the land or are a foreigner living among the people of Israel; for this is the day commemorating the atonement, cleansing you in the Lord's eyes from all of your sins. Leviticus 29-30

  10. We give God Almighty the glory for your testimony. HE has kept you for HIS glory and purpose. My brother you do not owe the politicians any apology.Most of the leaders are wicked, selfish and very corrupt. They send their children abroad to study, can every Nigeria n afford this? These leaders prefer to embezzle the money to funding education properly and formulating good educational policies. Of course you should not lose sight that some of the leaders are stack illiterates that cannot spell their names. l pray God will give us leaders that value education very much, leaders with integrity, love for the people, and most especially those that have the fear of God.

  11. Nice interview with a lot of sincerity but,Mr.Jide, it is your choice to have more than one wife, so don't justify your sexual and lustful desires by castigating the teachings against polygamy. One of the problems Nigeria have is polygamy especially in the north.
    It is unthinkable to compare humans to animals, so good luck to you on your endeavors but polygamy should never be encouraged, the same way adultery should never be encouraged.

  13. In Morocco, it is illegal to sleep in the same room whether hotel or house with the opposite sex except you are married. Therefore it is impossible for a man in Morocco to have a side chic. So Moroccan single girls are scares to come by except if you have done book me down. This law is put in place to curb unwanted pregnancy and irresponsibility in men. So for men who cannot control their libido for different women, one corner is cancelled, you must put her under your roof and care for her .So your example is vague Mr. Jide.
    I wouldn't have had any issue with you saying polygamy is your choice but I seem to have problem with you trying to pull all men into it and making it seems like it's normal.
    I appreciate the fact that you do not want to be involved in adultery which is highly commendable for a musician ( that is if you are been truthful Sha) but let's look at it this way.
    .. What do you think will be the faith of a girl who they have done book me down for since she was a baby especially with her education?
    ….what level of education do you think this lady or girl can attain before betrothal period comes?
    ….. according to your theory about the animal kingdom, where animals mate with their offspring, should that be encouraged too in human world?
    It would have been a beautiful interview if not for this your strange analogy. I appreciate your commitment to your polygamy decision, you can brag all you can but trust me, you are very lucky. There are a lots of people, lots of them singing songs of woes about the experiences as polygamist or as been raised in that set up. Good luck in endeavors Mr. Jide.
