Billionaire businessman, Ned Nwoko has revealed how he married Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
In an interview with BBC Igbo, Nwoko who’s married to five other wives, said he wifed Daniels within three weeks of meeting her.
Defending why they married that fast, the former House of Representatives member said he doesn’t believe in the notion that two persons have to date before getting married.
His words: “I met her and I liked her. We got married within three weeks. I married all my wives within the same period. I don’t believe in dating anybody to marry them.
“Don’t date anybody you want to marry. When you marry them, you begin to fall in love within the marriage. Even in my culture, as it were as a kid in the 60s, people were not dating. They arranged marriages from family to family; they choose a wife.
“Most girls were expected to be virgins when they get married and they build a family from there. Because they did not know each other before they got married, there was a lot of excitement and a lot of learning to do.
“But Regina and I is a story that is interesting because before I met her, I did not know about her. I do not watch movies; I never watch movies. I met her the first time when she came to my house with her mother and her siblings because my place in Delta is a tourist place. They came to look around and I liked her and that was it.”
When asked about the possibility of marrying another wife, Nwoko explained that it’s highly possible, considering his love for children, and his wives, including Daniels are aware.
“So whether I marry another wife or not; she knows it can happen. I come from a very polygamous environment. I love children so I want more children. She knows this and my other wives know it so we will see what happens in the future,” Nwoko said.
Recall that Daniels and Nwoko tied the knot in 2019.
Since they got married, the couple has been receiving a lot of criticism for their predatory 40-year age gap.
The screen-darling however gave birth to a son in June.
