Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko has sparked controversy with his comments on polygamy, stating that having one wife is comparable to standing on one leg. The politician, who is currently facing marital issues with his fourth wife, actress Regina Daniels, made the remarks during an interview on Channels TV. Nwoko expressed sympathy for men with only one wife, citing the “difficulty of standing on a single leg” as a reason for his own polygamous lifestyle.
He justified his decision to have multiple wives, saying it provides more balance in life. “Just imagine telling you to stand on one leg, you know how difficult it is. But it is much more balanced to stand on two, three, or four,” Nwoko explained. The senator stated that he has no regrets about his choices and would make the same decisions again.
Nwoko’s comments come amid a publicized marital crisis with Regina Daniels, who recently accused him of domestic violence in a viral video. In response, Nwoko alleged that Daniels has a substance abuse problem. The situation has raised concerns about the well-being of the couple and the potential end of their marriage.
In a recent development, Regina Daniels posted a picture of herself standing in the balcony of a new house, sparking speculation that she may have moved out of her marital home. The image, which included the caption “I needed a roof over my head,” has fueled rumors of a potential divorce. There are also reports that Daniels may have acquired a new house in Lagos State.
The public feud between Nwoko and Daniels has drawn attention to the complexities of polygamous relationships and the challenges that can arise in such marriages. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the couple will navigate their differences and whether their marriage can be salvaged. For now, Nwoko’s comments on polygamy have added to the ongoing debate about the practice and its implications for families and society.
