Nollywood actress Regina Daniels stirred controversy by advocating for polygamy, arguing that it offers more security and trust than monogamous relationships. The 20-year-old actress, who made headlines when she married a 70-year-old billionaire as a virgin, shared her views on marriage dynamics.
“It’s better they have as many women as they want with your consent,” Daniels stated, defending polygamous relationships. “Even in monogamy, men will still cheat on you.”
Daniels, who is living in a polygamous marriage herself, emphasized the importance of consent and mutual respect among all parties involved. “It’s possible for a man to love more than 2 women at once,” she explained. “I live in peace with all my co-wives because our husband loves us all the same and none of us is jealous of the other.”
She urged women to consider marrying polygamists who would have multiple wives with their consent rather than monogamists who might cheat. However, she added a caveat, advising against marrying poor men.
“It’s better to marry a polygamist who will have multiple women with your consent than marry a monogamist who will be cheating on you,” she said.
The actress’s unconventional marriage and candid remarks have sparked discussions about traditional relationship norms and the dynamics of trust and fidelity.
In response to Daniels’ statement, relationship experts have offered varied opinions. Some argue that polygamy, when consensual, can indeed foster trust and harmony among partners. Others caution that such arrangements may not be suitable for everyone and stress the importance of open communication and mutual understanding in any relationship.
