'I married all my wives as virgins' - Regina Daniels' husband, Ned Nwoko

The former lawmaker and polygamist revealed this during an interview with PUNCH magazine. He also explained how he and Regina Daniels met and his motivation for marrying her.

He reiterated that he admired Regina Daniels because she is a decent girl and decided to marry her because she is a virgin. He said he only marries virgins.

Ned Nwoko told PUNCH: “Why not Regina? When I met her, I didn’t even know who she was because I don’t watch movies, whether British, Nigerian or American.

“Also, I am not a social media person. Up until that time, I didn’t have Facebook or Instagram accounts. So, I didn’t know about Regina until she came to my house with her family on a tour.

“My house in the village (Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State) is a tourist attraction of sorts. I liked her when I saw her, especially when I found out that she was from that place.

“I had always wanted to have somebody (a wife) from my side. We were introduced to each other and one thing led to another.

“That was when I found out she is a very decent girl. I have always said that I wouldn’t marry anybody who isn’t a virgin and that is very important to me.

“When I found out that she was a virgin, it reinforced my decision to marry her. I married all my wives as virgins.”
