Delta-born politician and lawyer, Prince Ned Nwoko, has linked the high rate of immorality in the society to men who refuse to take more than one wife.
Nwoko, while addressing pressmen spoke about polygamy and advised souther men to copy the Northerner by marrying more than one wife.
His words: “Many women are out there without a husband, especially in the southern part of the country, and there is a high level of prostitution. If the southern men emulate their northern counterparts by marrying more than one wife, that could probably change the situation.
“An average southerner may have one wife with girlfriends, and he is spending money on the girlfriends, sometimes even more than his wife.
Nwoko, who has multiple wives, noted that he and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, are serving Nigeria by marrying many wives.
Ned, who further claimed to have the same background as Ooni, explained that their grandfathers were kings and had served Nigeria in that capacity. “And we are now also serving Nigeria by marrying many wives.”
Ned is also married to young female actress, Regina Daniels and they both have two kids together.
