Nigerian lawmaker and businessman Senator Ned Nwoko has once again stirred public debate after declaring that he “feels sorry for men who have only one wife,” defending his polygamous lifestyle and denying allegations of domestic abuse against his actress wife, Regina Daniels.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Delta North senator argued that polygamy provides “balance and stability” for men.
When asked how he manages to handle four wives — something most men find nearly impossible — Nwoko paused before responding confidently:
“That’s a different topic for another day. But yes, every man should do that. Imagine telling you to stand on one leg — it’s difficult. But when you stand on two, three, or four, you’re more balanced. That’s the example I give. I feel sorry for those who have one wife because it’s difficult to stand on one leg.”
When the interviewer pointed out that the Bible doesn’t support polygamy, the senator quickly replied, “The Old Testament does. I’m a man of faith. But that’s not what we’re here for.”
Asked if he had any regrets about his marital choices, Nwoko firmly said no.
“No, I don’t have any regret. I would do the same thing again. That’s the way it should be — you should marry who you want to marry.”
The senator also denied allegations of domestic violence made against him by Regina Daniels, who recently shared emotional posts suggesting that she had suffered abuse.
“Come on, you know I’m not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids,” he said.
His comments come just hours after Regina Daniels flaunted a new mansion on Instagram, amid growing reports of separation.
The Nollywood actress had shared photos and videos of her new property with the caption: “In my house, I am a Queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
