The magnitude of this number has brought him to his breaking point, leading him to say "Enough!" and make the firm decision to no longer have any additional children.
From Unbelievable Facts:
The entire family lives together on a five-acres of land in the village of Bugisa in the Butaleja District, which is a remote region in eastern Uganda.
Musa married his first wife in 1972 when they were both 17 years old. They welcomed their first baby, named Sandra Nabwire, a year later. But Musa’s brothers, friends, and other relatives soon advised him to marry multiple times to produce as many children as possible and expand the family’s legacy. No doubt, he took this advice seriously.
Musa was a cattle trader and a butcher and did not have any trouble getting marriage offers from the village. Over the years, he married 11 more times and had a total of 102 children. His children currently range in age from 10 to 50, and his youngest wife is 35 years old.
Musa says that today, his memory falters. He admits to not knowing the names of most of his children. He remembers only the first and the last one; the rest is all a blur. He refers to his notebook for the names. Of 102 children, four have died, and now he has 98 children. They all live together on a piece of land in overcrowded, grass-thatched cottages.
This man has indeed fathered a staggering number of children, and you certainly can't blame him for finally throwing in the towel.
Although one has to wonder why he didn't make this decision years ago...
