Men who marry many wives are helping the society– Ned Nwoko
By Modupe Shodeinde
Ned Nwoko, billionaire husband of Regina Daniels said marrying more than one wife is helping the society economically.
In an interview with BBC Igbo, the billionaire politician explained the economical reason behind his choice of polygamy.
Nwoko stated that the average northerner has at least two wives, which he argued helps the society by preventing the women from being promiscuous.
According to him: “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.”
He added that the polygamist nature of northerners has helped to increase their population and made them the majority in the country.
“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 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.”
