Senator Ned Nwoko has said he feels sorry for men who have only one wife.
The Delta North lawmaker made the statement during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, October 26.
During the discussion, he also addressed questions about his marriage and the reported crisis with his actress wife, Regina Daniels.
When asked how he manages to handle four wives, Nwoko responded confidently, “That’s a different topic for another day. But yes, every man should do that. Imagine telling you to stand on one leg — it’s difficult. But when you stand on two, three, or four, you’re more balanced. That’s the example I give. I feel sorry for those who have one wife because it’s difficult to stand on one leg.”
When the interviewer mentioned that the Bible doesn’t support polygamy, the senator replied, “The Old Testament does. I’m a man of faith. But that’s not what we’re here for.”
Asked if he had any regrets about his marital choices, Nwoko said, “No, I don’t have any regret. I would do the same thing again. That’s the way it should be — you should marry who you want to marry.”
He also denied allegations of domestic violence made against him by Regina Daniels, who recently shared emotional posts suggesting she had suffered abuse.
“Come on, you know I’m not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids,” Nwoko stated.
His comments came just hours after Regina Daniels flaunted a new mansion on Instagram, amid reports of separation.
The Nollywood actress posted photos and videos of her new property with the caption, “In my house, I am a Queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
Her post followed a viral video from October 18, where she was seen crying outside her Abuja home, claiming she could no longer endure the alleged violence.
“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my own house, I am a Queen. I can’t stand the violence — it’s too much,” she said in the clip.
The couple’s six-year marriage, once one of Nollywood’s most talked-about unions due to their age difference, now appears to be going through a rough phase, with both parties publicly addressing their issues in contrasting tones.
