“Marrying more than one wife helps the economy”- Ned Nwoko

Nigerian billionaire cum politician has told BBC Igbo that Northerners getting married to more than one wife is a way of helping the society.

He added that Christians shun it yet an average Southerner has many girlfriends.

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.”

The husband of actress Regina Daniels praised the Igbo culture,

“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 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.” he added.
