'I am serving Nigeria by having many wives' - Regina Daniels’ hubby Ned Nwoko says

Popular Nigerian billionaire businessman and actress Regina Daniels’ husband, Prince Ned Nwoko, is making headlines with his statement about men in the Southern part of the country.

According to Ned Nwoko, Southern men who stay away from polygamy are contributing to prostitution in the country.

The Nigerian businessman, who has four wives and 19 children, made this known in an interview with Guardian Nigeria on Saturday, December 3.

Ned Nwoko says an average Southern man has one wife but many girlfriends

Ned, who is also a politician, said there are many women in the southern part of the country without husbands, which is why there is a high level of prostitution. He said: “What some of our girls do to make ends meet is regrettable, and if our men emulate their northern counterparts by having more than one wife, that could probably change the situation.

The average southern man has only one wife, but many girlfriends also, and he is spending his money on the girlfriends; sometimes even more than on his wife.”

Ned Nwoko said many men spend more on their girlfriends than their wives, adding that polygamy would help them concentrate on their families.

“The man, who has three wives, for instance, concentrates on them and his children; every money he makes is spent on the family and he is more likely not to have any girlfriends or concubines. The money those with several girlfriends spend on them is a gift, not an investment in the family.”
