Rapper Erigga has expressed reservations about polygamy, citing the harm it can cause to women and children.
Drawing from personal experience growing up in a polygamous home, he noted that such arrangements often lead to conflict and hurt feelings, with women and kids typically bearing the brunt.
In an interview with Yanga FM Lagos, he said, “I am trying not to be like my father. I don’t like polygamy; one person gets hurt, which is the woman. There’s never a polygamous situation where the man gets hurt; it’s always the woman and the kids.”
Erigga stated that he is making a conscious effort to avoid polygamy, opting instead for monogamy, which he believes is a more straightforward and fulfilling choice.
In his view, polygamy can be complex and painful, particularly for the women and children involved.
