Nigerian rapper, Erigga Agarivbie, popularly known as Erigga, has opened up about his strong disapproval of polygamy, describing it as a system that causes pain to women and children.
Speaking during an interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the Warri-born rapper shared personal experiences from his upbringing in a polygamous family, noting that such arrangements often breed emotional tension, jealousy, and unhappiness.
According to him, polygamy rarely affects men negatively, but it leaves lasting scars on women and children.
“I am trying not to be like my father. I don’t like polygamy; one person always 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 said.
The rapper explained that his decision to embrace monogamy stems from lessons learned while growing up in a home filled with competition and division among wives and siblings.
He added that the environment of a polygamous family often fosters rivalry, bitterness, and insecurity that can affect children well into adulthood.
Erigga stressed that the emotional burden women bear in polygamous homes is often overlooked, as society tends to normalize men taking multiple wives without considering the mental and psychological impact on others involved.
He noted that beyond the surface of wealth or status that some men associate with having multiple wives, polygamy often leads to emotional instability and broken family relationships.
The rapper emphasized that he would rather choose peace and unity within a single home than the chaos that comes with managing multiple partners and children.
“Men should learn to avoid the complications of polygamy. Monogamy gives you peace of mind and helps you build a stronger connection with your wife and kids,” he advised.
Erigga, known for his unfiltered social commentary and street-inspired lyrics, has often used his platform to discuss family, society, and personal growth. His remarks on polygamy come amid ongoing debates across Nigeria about whether the practice still has a place in modern society.
The rapper’s comments have resonated with many fans who share similar experiences or grew up in similar homes. His stance also reflects a growing shift among younger Nigerian men who are beginning to question traditional family structures that often place the burden of sacrifice on women.
For Erigga, avoiding polygamy is not just a personal decision but a conscious effort to break a generational pattern. “I want my children to grow up in a home filled with peace, not rivalry,” he said, underscoring his belief that love should not be shared among multiple partners but focused on one family that thrives together in unity.
Through his candid remarks, Erigga has once again sparked an important conversation about family values, equality, and emotional well-being in Nigerian homes.
