I don't cheat - Oparanya's philosophy on relationships
Oparanya explained his upbringing and the influence of his mother's advice on having a large family.
"I was born alone. Actually, we were born five of us, and I became the only one surviving. When I grew up, my mother told me to have more children so that we congregate; that's why I am very sincere," he shared.
He continued, "People here know that when I say something, it's happening. I don't cheat." Oparanya's commitment to honesty extends to his relationships with his two wives and girlfriend.
The former governor further revealed that his girlfriend even visits and his wives have no problem with it.
"I have two wives and a girlfriend. They are friends, and sometimes my girlfriend comes here to say hi to my wife. My wife can't complain because I take good care of her every day," revealed Oparanya.
