Actor Uche Maduagwu of Nollywood has criticized lawmaker Ned Nwoko for encouraging polygamy in southern Nigeria.
In a recent interview, Nwoko charged that because males in southern Nigeria don’t choose to have several wives, they contribute to the high level of immorality in society.
On Monday, Uche Maduagwu, who disapproved of the remark, attacked Ned on his Instagram page, charging that while other politicians were occupied making sure that their states had the requirements, Nwoko was busy promoting polygamy.
He wrote, “I wept bitterly after reading your interview, especially on your preposterous view on polygamy.“Other politicians are serving their people by building roads, hospitals and schools, Oga Ned dey allegedly say his serving Nigeria by marrying many wives.
“Jesus wept. Even your views about southern men not accepting polygamy is laughable, because in (1 Kings 11:3), King Solomon had 700 beautiful wives. But did it stop him from going out with 300 other women he was not married to”?
He further revealed that he has a problem with the way Ned treats his other wives, noting how Regina was always seen at public events and gatherings and not with his other wives.
He wrote, “Dear Oga Ned, if polygamy works for you, fine, but stop disrespecting southern Christian men who choose to be contented with one wife according to their Christian faith, with your ridiculous polygamy lecture.
“If you are so proud of your polygamy, how come na only Regina you allegedly carry go campaign and not all your beautiful Iyawos together?
“Delta State youths need employment and job creation, not polygamy lecture.”
