Nwoko, who is also a politician, said there are many women in the southern part of the country without husbands, which is why there is a high level of prostitution.
He stated:
“What some of our girls do to make ends meet is regrettable, and if our men emulate their northern counterparts by having more than one wife, that could probably change the situation.
"The average southern man has only one wife, but many girlfriends also, and he is spending his money on the girlfriends; sometimes even more than on his wife.”
Polygamy would make men concentrate on their family
Ned Nwoko said many men spend more on their girlfriends than their wives, adding that polygamy would help them concentrate on their families.
“The man, who has three wives, for instance, concentrates on them and his children; every money he makes is spent on the family and he is more likely not to have any girlfriends or concubines. The money those with several girlfriends spend on them is a gift, not an investment in the family.”
Common background with Ooni of Ife
The Nigerian businessman said his grandfather and the Ooni’s grandfather have some pictures together as he claimed he and the current Ooni Oba Enitan Adeyeye have a common background and their fathers served Nigerians by marrying many wives.
“And we are now also serving Nigeria by having many wives,” he said.
