Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has sparked fresh debate on marriage following his candid remarks during an interview on Channels Television
The lawmaker, known for his openly polygamous lifestyle, stated that he strongly believes “every man should marry more than one wife.”
Ned was asked how he manages harmony in a household with four wives, Nwoko offered a humorous analogy. “I’m sure you have a wife and also have girlfriends. Imagine me telling you to stand on one leg—it’s hard, isn’t it? But when you stand on two, three, or even four legs, you’re more balanced. That’s how it works,” he said, adding playfully, “I honestly pity men with only one wife; it must be tough standing on one leg.”
On the biblical view of polygamy, the senator explained, “The Old Testament supports it, and I’m a man of the Old Testament as well as a man of faith.”
When asked whether he intends to marry more wives, Nwoko laughed off the question, saying, “That’s not what we’re here to discuss.” However, he admitted that if given the chance, he would make the same choice again. “Of course, yes. I’d do it again and again,” he declared confidently.
Responding to speculation about his preference for younger women, he said with a smile, “That’s just how it is—and how it should be.”
He also addressed rumours of domestic vi%lence in his home, dismissing them as untrue. “Come on, I’m not a vi%lent person. I respect and love my wives, and I love my children dearly. So, no, that’s completely false,” he asserted.
Ned Nwoko, a lawyer, businessman, and politician, is married to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. He remains one of Nigeria’s most outspoken advocates of polygamy, describing it as both a traditional and practical approach to family life.
