Businessman and self-proclaimed royal HRM Don Sylvester Nweke has stirred social media conversation with his unfiltered opinions on marriage.
In a recent Honest Bunch Podcast interview, posted on X on Saturday, Don Nweke shared what he described as hard-earned advice for men, claiming that a man’s problems often start when he financially empowers his wife or girlfriend.
“Your problem starts as a man the day you open business for your wife or girlfriend. The day you empower her, your problem starts,” he said, drawing from his own experiences.

He added, “I have an ex-wife, I bought her car, took her abroad and opened a mini supermarket for her.”
Taking a controversial stance, Don Nweke suggested polygamy as a way to achieve marital peace.
He cited a couple who remained married for 50 years but only began facing conflicts later in life, triggered by doubts about the paternity of their youngest child.
“I have seen a husband and wife that stayed 50 years in marriage and on their 50th years, they started having a problem which made him do a DNA test only to find out only their last daughter that cause their fight was his only biological child,” he said. “50 years of a Christian woman that stays at home, doesn’t go out and you can vow for. I believe as an African person, you should marry many wives to have peace because many wives gives peace.”
Radio host Daddy Freeze challenged him, noting that multiple marriages don’t always bring harmony. “My father married two wives, there was no peace,” he said.
Don Nweke replied confidently, “He should have married more. Like I am, I have a wife in London, America, Kenya, and many are chasing me online.”
He also shared strong opinions on marriage formalities, warning against court weddings and insisting that a woman must take her husband’s last name.
“Don’t do court marriage, don’t even go near church and if you don’t answer my name, you are not my wife, you belong to your father’s house. Let that father marry you!” he said.
