Nigerian billionaire and business magnate Ned Nwoko has justified himself for marrying more than one wife says it helps to develop the economy.
Mr Nwoko who also the husband to Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels has explained why he prefers young woman.
Speaking with BBC Igbo, he said the reason is that it helps to develop the society and prevent women from being promiscuous validating northerners polygamy lifestyle as a reference.
According to him: “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.”
He also added that the northerners today are the majority because of their polygamous nature which has helped them to increase their population.
Nwoko said he prefer polygamy to monogamy says the latter is not our culture
He said: “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.
Speaking of the economy of marriage, Nwoko said in 10 to 20 years the Northerners will be overpopulated.
“But even looking at that, look at your population in Nigeria and what I will call the 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.”
