Uche Maduagwu, a controversial and purported Nollywood actor, has attacked Ned Nwoko, a well-known businessman and politician from Delta State, on social media.
Rita Daniels, the mother of well-known actress Regina Daniels, is to blame, in Uche Maduagwu’s opinion, for giving Regina to Ned just for the sake of marriage.
This comes after Ned Nwoko accused males from southern Nigeria of encouraging prostitution in the community by disliking polygamy.

According to Ned n an interview with The Guardian, “Many women are out there on their own without husbands, especially in the southern part of the country, and there is a high level of prostitution. 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 southerner may have only one wife, but many girlfriends also, and he is spending his money on the girlfriends; sometimes even more than on his wife. 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.”
Nwoko, who has multiple wives, added that he and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, are serving Nigeria by marrying many women.
He said: “My grandfather and the Ooni’s grandfather and the then Olowo of Owo took many photographs together. So, the Ooni and I have that kind of common background, because our grandfathers were kings and served Nigeria in that capacity. And we are now also serving Nigeria by having many wives.”
Reacting to his opinion, Uche Maduagwu took to social media and series of posts and wrote, “Seriously? And he want to represent Delta people with this KUNU sense? Na Regina Mama we blame for Dashing you her Pikin”.
Using King Solomon n the Bible as a reference, Uche stated that marrying many wives can not stop prostitution. He wrote, “King Solomon who had 300 wives, Abeg did that stop him from having hundreds of Concubines?”
