“How was this guy, Tersugh Aondona AKA Aterry Baba, able to convince these three beautiful young ladies into marrying him at the same moment? How were these ladies able to kill their jealousy and accept being taken by one man as a husband and how was Aterry Baba able to convince the families of these beautiful ladies into doing this historic event?”
