Senator Ned Nwoko on Sunday said he feels sorry for men with one wife, insisting that polygamy provides men greater stability and balance.

The lawmaker representing Delta North, who made the comment while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, also addressed recent allegations of domestic violence against him by his actress wife, Regina Daniels.

When asked how he copes with managing four wives—something many men find nearly impossible- Nwoko hesitated for a while before reacting.

“That is a different topic for discussion on another day. Yes, every man should do that. The example I give is this: 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,” he stated.

When reminded that the Holy Bible does not endorse polygamy, Nwoko countered, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”

Asked whether he had any regrets about his marital choices, the senator shook his head.

“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 defended stoutly.

On the domestic violence allegations trailing him, Nwoko dismissed them outright, saying, “No, come on. You know I am not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids.”

His comments came just hours after Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, his estranged wife, flaunted a newly acquired mansion on social media amid reports of a marital crisis.

In a post on her Instagram page, Daniels shared photos and videos of the 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.”

The post followed a viral video from October 18 showing the actress in tears outside her Abuja residence, lamenting alleged abuse.

“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much,” she said in the footage.

The couple’s six-year marriage, once the subject of public fascination due to their wide age gap, has recently degenerated into a full-blown crisis now playing out before millions of Nigerians on social media.

Bitter and honest truth!

Men with one wife are the saddest, demoralized, lonely and isolated creatures on Earth.

If marriage vows were to be renewable, 99% of men won’t renew it. They will run for their dear life’s.

He's saying the right ✅️ thing.
Forget about morality. Marriage is firstly cultural before spiritual and then scriptural.

There is no bitter and honest truth in it. I dont know why many of you clap at every statement without deep research about it. Monogamy seems troublesome now because many of us never witnessed polygamy in practice. Every type of marriage comes with its own drama, you cannot just believe one is so perfect.

Below are some of the insights. For every marriage, three major parties are involved. Father, mother and children. Polygamy may look like benefiting men but the mothers and their children will be getting the hits.

1) Father: Yes options for sex. Options for loyalty etc
2) Children; Except the father is rich, may drop out of school. May witnessed constant problems at home, quarrels and envy most times. Go to northern Nigeria and see their kids. With all the money they steal in government, still the most backward region

3) Mothers: Lack of attention, Unhealthy competition, Sometimes lacking sex, Their husbands gets the licenses to honourably chase women since they can bring in another wife. Go to Abuja and see how Alhajis chases young girls for sex

Summarily, Its only selfish for men to believe their sexual satisfaction and attention is enough for marriages. Do you think of being born into polygamous homes? Most of us would not have attained our heights Most tich people will always make polygamy look perfect until you get into it as a poor man.
