Senator Ned Nwoko has stirred reactions online after expressing sympathy for men who have only one wife, arguing that polygamy offers men “greater stability and balance.”
The Delta North lawmaker made the statement during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, where he also addressed recent allegations of domestic violence leveled against him by his actress wife, Regina Daniels.
When asked how he manages to maintain peace among his four wives, something many men find challenging, Nwoko paused briefly before replying, “That is a different topic for discussion on another day. Yes, every man should do that.”
He continued with an analogy, saying, “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.”
Responding to the argument that the Holy Bible does not endorse polygamy, the senator countered, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
Nwoko also stated that he has no regrets about his marital choices. “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,” he asserted.
Addressing the domestic violence allegations, the politician dismissed them as baseless, saying, “No, come on. You know I am not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids.”
The above statement by Senator Ned Nwoko gets social media abuzz as many share their views on it.

“How do you manage 4 wives, it’s incredibly difficult to be with a partner not to talk of 4, and you tend to marry beautiful and young ones too”
Ned: it’s just like telling me to stand on one leg when I can stand on 4. I feel sorry for people with just one wife 😭🧎🏻♂️➡️ pic.twitter.com/momitgK8ii
