Senator Ned Nwoko Says He Feels Sorry for Men with One Wife, Argues Polygamy Brings Stability and Balance
In a fresh wave of controversy that has sparked debates across social media, Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, has stated that he feels “sorry for men who have only one wife,” insisting that polygamy offers greater stability, peace, and balance in marriage.
Speaking during an exclusive interview in Abuja, the businessman and politician—who is known for having multiple wives, including popular actress Regina Daniels explained that his belief in polygamy stems from both cultural heritage and practical observation.
“I genuinely feel sorry for men who have just one wife. Many of them are living under unnecessary pressure,” Nwoko said. “Polygamy, when properly managed, brings balance. It reduces infidelity, strengthens family structures, and promotes mutual support among wives.”
He further argued that monogamous marriages, particularly in modern society, often struggle because of unrealistic expectations and lack of understanding between partners.
“Men are naturally polygamous in nature. Pretending otherwise only breeds dishonesty and frustration,” he continued. “If a man can provide emotionally, financially, and spiritually for more than one woman, then it is better to be open and responsible about it rather than live a double life.”
Nwoko, who has frequently defended polygamy as a moral and cultural choice, stressed that his family remains stable because of transparency and respect among his wives. He noted that jealousy and rivalry can exist, but those emotions are manageable with fairness and maturity.
“People mistake polygamy for chaos, but it’s actually a system that, when practiced with wisdom, brings more unity,” he explained. “I ensure all my wives are treated equally. They support each other and raise their children together with love and understanding.”
The senator’s comments have ignited mixed reactions online. While some Nigerians praised him for championing traditional African marital systems, others criticized his views as outdated and patriarchal.
Critics argue that promoting polygamy in the 21st century undermines women’s empowerment and equality, while supporters counter that the practice reflects African values and provides an alternative to the rising rate of infidelity and divorce.
Despite the controversy, Ned Nwoko stood firm in his belief that polygamy is not only cultural but also practical in maintaining family harmony.
“If men were honest about their nature and responsibilities, many homes would not break apart,” he concluded. “Polygamy is not about lust—it’s about balance, truth, and responsibility.”
As the debate continues, Senator Nwoko’s remarks have once again put traditional marital systems under public scrutiny, forcing many to reflect on whether modern love can coexist with ancient customs.
