Big Brother Naija reality star, Phyna has addressed the marriages of two well-known Nigerian celebrity polygamists, Yul Edochie and Ned Nwoko.
Phyna delved into the topic of polygamy during a conversation with her fellow reality star, Tacha Akide, on the latest episode of “Spill with Phyna”.
Ned Nwoko, a wealthy politician, married actress Regina Daniels, reportedly making her his fifth or sixth wife. Yul Edochie, a Nollywood star, married Judy Austin as his second wife.
Phyna shared her perspectives on these marriages, suggesting that Yul could have managed both his first wife, May Edochie, and his second wife, Judy, more effectively if he were extremely wealthy.
The BBNaija star expressed the opinion that financial abundance would have allowed for a more seamless arrangement.
She went on to draw a comparison with Regina Daniels’ marriage to Ned Nwoko, characterizing it as the epitome of polygamy due to the apparent peace of mind.
Phyna noted that polygamy is strictly reserved for the rich, emphasizing that it is not about questioning Yul Edochie’s wealth but rather underlining the challenges that financial constraints can bring to such situations.
She said, “If Yul Edochie was rich, like very very rich, he would have been able to manage both May and Judy quietly, nobody needs to disturb anybody.”
“Have you seen Ned Nwoko? That is what we call polygamy, peace of mind. That’s why I said it’s for the rich, it’s strictly for the rich. I’m not saying Yul is not rich. He’s rich but…”
