Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, says he feels sorry for men with one wife, when polygamy provides them greater stability and balance.
Disclosing this on Sunday, on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Nwoko, when asked how he copes with managing four wives, when other men find nearly impossible, hesitated for a while before reacting.
He said, “That is a different topic for discussion on another day. Yes, every man should do that. The example I give is this: just imagine telling you to stand on one foot or leg. You know how difficult it is.

“But to stand on two, three, four is much more balanced. That’s just the example I give. So I feel sorry for those who have one wife because it’s difficult to stand on one leg,” he stated.
When reminded that the Holy Bible does not endorse polygamy, Nwoko countered, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
On if he regrets his marital choices, the senator shook his head before saying, “No, I don’t have any regret. I will do the same thing again. Of course, that’s the way it should be. You should marry who you want to marry.”
Addressing recent allegations of domestic violence against him by his actress wife, Regina Daniels, Nwoko dismissed them, saying, “No, come on. You know I am not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids.”
His comments came just hours after Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, his estranged wife, flaunted a newly acquired mansion on social media amid reports of a marital crisis.
