Meet the dad with 16 wives and 151 children - and he still wants to have more

A man who has 151 children and sleeps with four of his 16 wives a night wants to have more offspring as part of a 38 year "polygamy project".

The insatiable Misheck Nyandoro claims that his full-time job is satisfying his 16 wives.

Despite being 66 he has complained that he needs to keep marrying younger women because his older wives can't keep up with his alarming pace, local news outlet The Herald reports.

As well as siring just shy of 14 full football teams worth of children, Mishek enjoys a life of luxury thanks to his children, who he says shower him with gifts and money, while his wives cook, clean and cater to his every desire.

The dad-of-151 has no plans to slow down and is now getting ready to marry his 17th wife.

Mishek says that if he could manage it, he would take on 100 wives and would have 1,000 children.

The retired war veteran from Zimbabwe says he "doesn't work" as his full-time job is "satisfying his wives."

He said: "What I'm doing here is completing my project. A polygamy project that I started in 1983 and don't intend to stop until death takes me away.

"I'm currently planning my 17th wedding with the ceremony expected to take place this winter."

The 66-year-old claims he does not feel the financial burden of having over 150 children and claims that he has actually benefited from his giant family.

He said: "My children spoil me. I'm constantly receiving gifts and cash from them and my step-sons.

"Every one of my wives cooks for me daily but the rule is that I only eat delicious food, anything I feel is below standard gets thrown away.

"They know the rules. They have promised not to get angry when I send their food back. Anything sent back should be a lesson that helps them improve."

In terms of sleeping arrangements, Nyandoro has designed a schedule that allows him to "satisfy" at least four of his wives per night.

He explained: "I go to the bedrooms that I have on my schedule. I then satisfy my wife and move onto the next room. This is my job. I have no other job."

He added: "I alter my behaviour in the bedroom to suit the age of each of my wives. I don't act the same with the young ones as I do with the older ones."

He also complained about his older wives saying: "They aren't always interested in having sex."

He claims that all of his wives are extremely happy with their lives but in the future, he plans to marry younger women due to their higher libido.
