Ned Nwoko, Nigerian billionaire businessman, and husband of Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, says marrying more than one wife helps save society.
According to Ned Nwoko, in an exclusive interview with BBC Igbo, the average northerner has at least two wives and this helps the society by preventing women from venturing into prostitution. He further added that Christianity does not allow polygamy.
In his words;
“The average Northerner marrying two, three, four women, they are helping the society because it is the economic downturn that has affected so many women who you see doing prostitution and all that. But the fallacy of it all is that Christianity does not allow that in the South and yet, the average Southern man has 10 girlfriends.”
“I love my culture as I know it, not as they are trying to dilute it. Igbo culture is wonderful and should be promoted the way it has always been.
But even looking at that, look at your population in Nigeria and what I will call the economy of marriage, as an Igbo man with one wife, four children, a Northerner has four wives with five children each, in the next 10 years, 20 years, imagine the population of the Northerners.”
