ABUJA, Nigeria (FN) \u2014 Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has stirred fresh controversy after publicly defending polygamy and dismissing allegations of domestic violence made by his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today<\/em> on Sunday, Nwoko said he \u201cfeels sorry for men with one wife,\u201d arguing that polygamy offers men greater \u201cstability and balance.\u201d He likened monogamy to \u201cstanding on one leg,\u201d saying, \u201cTo stand on two, three, four is much more balanced\u2026 I feel sorry for those who have one wife because it\u2019s difficult to stand on one leg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen challenged on the biblical stance against polygamy, Nwoko responded, \u201cThe Old Testament does [support it]. I am a man of faith. But that\u2019s not what we are here for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAsked whether he regrets marrying multiple wives, the senator firmly replied, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t have any regret. I will do the same thing again. Of course, that\u2019s the way it should be. You should marry who you want to marry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nNwoko also addressed recent allegations of domestic violence following a viral video posted by Regina Daniels on October 18, in which she appeared in tears outside their Abuja residence. \u201cIn Ned Nwoko\u2019s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen,\u201d she said. \u201cNot again. I can\u2019t stand the violence, it\u2019s too much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe video was followed by a social media post from Daniels flaunting a newly acquired mansion, captioned, \u201cIn my house, I am a Queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nNwoko denied the abuse allegations outright. \u201cNo, come on. You know I am not a violent person. I respect my wives. I love them and my kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe couple\u2019s six-year marriage, once a subject of fascination due to their significant age gap, has now become a public spectacle, drawing widespread attention across Nigeria\u2019s social media landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe senator\u2019s comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending his views on polygamy and others condemning his dismissal of the abuse claims. Advocacy groups have called for a deeper investigation into the allegations, urging public figures to be more sensitive when addressing issues of domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs the controversy unfolds, both Nwoko and Daniels remain in the public eye, with their personal crisis continuing to play out before millions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABUJA, Nigeria (FN) \u2014 Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has stirred fresh controversy after publicly defending polygamy and dismissing allegations of domestic violence made by his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
