Meet Danger. He’s 93-year-old Ancentus Akuku, a Kenyan polygamist with 100 wives and 160 children. He died this week after an illness — and that illness was wanting 100 wives and 160 children in the first place, because gah.
Nicknamed Danger due to his ability to convince women it was a good idea to marry someone with 99 wives and more than 150 children, he credits his long life to a diet favoring vegetables.
Danger’s many accomplishments where accomplishments equal sperm, include the fabrication of two elementary schools, one church, and nearly 200 kids’ names. In the end, Danger collapsed at home from high blood pressure. And is it any wonder?

October 7, 2010 at 10:54 ami think it’s the socks… and the casual way he wears his hat and scarf.
MetroDad says
October 7, 2010 at 11:04 amDanger might be my new style guru.
The Domestic Goddess says
October 7, 2010 at 11:09 amSeriously, if I met a man that had 50 wives I’d walk away. Or one. If he had one wife, I’d think better of it.
Mashawnda Dowell says
October 7, 2010 at 11:23 amHa, he would of been so bored in America. No city would of been able to “fit” his needs.
BossysMom says
October 7, 2010 at 12:45 pmdefinately bored in America. We need to loosen up a little!
Summer says
October 7, 2010 at 1:09 pm100 baby mamas?! That’s some big, BIG love. With knee socks. Eeeewwwww.
Robin says
October 7, 2010 at 1:55 pmI can only imagine the baby mama drama.
Bossy’s HMMMM makes me nervous.
GrandeMocha says
October 7, 2010 at 2:47 pmAre we sure the 30 divorced wives didn’t have a hand in it? Maybe some Mexican pirates? How did he feed all these people?
Gail K. says
October 7, 2010 at 3:29 pmBossy, were you on the lookout for a new husband? This was the best you come up with??
Just imagine him on Divorce Court….
kathleen says
October 7, 2010 at 3:29 pmThat’s HOT! I never could resist a man in knee socks.
Melissa says
October 7, 2010 at 3:35 pmHave you ever wondered why men want more than one wife, and yet there’s not really any news of women with more than one husband??? Seriously!! thanks for sharing – I got a great laugh today.
Catherine McP says
October 7, 2010 at 3:42 pmHe sure puts the guy from “Sister wives” to shame.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
October 7, 2010 at 3:54 pmObviously this is a system with no alimony or child support.
Deb says
October 7, 2010 at 4:59 pmI need more information, Bossy. Did the wives work whilst he laid back and spent the earnings of 100 women? Or did he support all these people somehow?
Perhaps Barbie Theatah could illustrate this best…
dgm says
October 7, 2010 at 5:29 pmGeez, one time I was going to St. Ives and I met a man with SEVEN wives–but Danger totally puts him to shame!
Angela says
October 7, 2010 at 8:15 pmIf he had 100 wives, does that mean there were 99 dudes in his neck of the woods with 0 wives? Just wondering how these things work.
Gretchen says
October 7, 2010 at 9:02 pmI was in Kenya a few years years ago and met a 22 year old young man who had 2 wives and 3 kids. And he was complaining about not being able to find a job in the city. In his small village the woman makes the dung hut for herself and her kids. The husband visits if he wants. Each home is only as tall as the woman because she can’t reach any higher and there is no one to help her build it. It works for them.
Cupcake Murphy says
October 7, 2010 at 10:46 pmExcuse me but if Danger is so dangerous why is he unable to wear pants? Case closed.
Cacklin Rose says
October 7, 2010 at 10:59 pmNot even remotely related, but something you’ll love nonetheless : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGKoBxqZhWI&feature=player_embedded#!
You’re welcome.
Queenoqueens says
October 8, 2010 at 12:31 amDoes Danger have a brother?
AnnP says
October 8, 2010 at 2:08 amToo much!!! Hilarious!
joeinvegas says
October 8, 2010 at 11:00 amI doubt if you have enough Barbies at your place to do even a close Barbie Theatah segment.
madtexter says
October 8, 2010 at 11:17 amEwww…nasty. Sharing all that sperm with all those wives. Are those ladies desperate or something. He must have some extra special equipment (if you know what I mean), because he ain’t much to look at.
Dobes says
October 8, 2010 at 4:47 pmOh please, it’s totally my dream to find a man who would have to take care of me and give me kids but who only has time to visit 3 or 4 days a year. Throw in other women close by to share the cooking and watch the kids when I want a nap and I’m sold, even if he does wear knee socks!
steph says
October 8, 2010 at 6:12 pmI’m with Dobes. Wouldn’t have to bother with him much, you know.
runnergirl says
October 8, 2010 at 6:25 pmWow, hope they don’t celebrate Christmas in Polygamy. That’s one big a#% polyanna. How do you keep track of everybody?
Beth says
October 10, 2010 at 12:04 amI’ve wanted me some sister wives for years.
Momo Fali says
October 10, 2010 at 9:56 pmI think he was so popular because of the size of his cane. Not that size matters.
