Regina Daniel’s husband, Ned Nwoko has shared why he married more than one wife, and why he loves to marry them at a very young age.
In an interview with BBN Pidgin, the billionaire blamed his choice of polygamy on the country’s economy.
In his speech, he said the average northerner has at least two wives, which he argued helps society by preventing the women from being promiscuous.
In his words, “The average Northerner marrying two, three, four women, they are helping the society because it is the economic downturn that has affected so many women who you see doing prostitution and all that.
But the fallacy of it all is that Christianity does not allow that in the South and yet, the average Southern man has 10 girlfriends.”
Ned also complained about how enlightenment has encouraged monogamy even though it is not our culture.
“I love my culture as I know it, not as they are trying to dilute it. Igbo culture is wonderful and should be promoted the way it has always been.
But even looking at that, look at your population in Nigeria and what I will call the economy of marriage, as an Igbo man with one wife, four children, a Northerner has four wives with five children each, in the next 10 years, 20 years, imagine the population of the Northerners.”
