Village boys ‘stole’ my 50 wives- 'Kila Siku Suku' singer Sukuma bin Ongaro

Wilson Omutere Ongaro aka Sukuma bin Ongaro

 

• According to Benga star Sukuma bin Ongaro, he married over 50 wives
• However, the marriages did not last as the women were ‘stolen’
• During his heyday, Ongaro would chips funga one or two women to entertain him each night he performed

When benga star Wilson Omutere Ongaro aka Sukuma bin Ongaro belted his evergreen hit Kila Siku Suku (why always me?), fans gyrating to his scintillating guitar and hilarious lyrics would never have guessed that he wasn’t singing about kids, stealing his cassava as the song may have suggested.

Apparently, he was lamenting about his ‘sons’ (young men from his village) seducing and marrying some of his wives. “Abana baikholela obwononi (my children have sinned against me),” he lamented, saying he had been made a fool.
