Polygamy Hurts Women, Kids, Spares Men – Erigga Speaks His Mind
Popular Nigerian rapper and social commentator Erigga has once again stirred social media conversations with his latest statement about polygamy. Known for his unfiltered opinions, the Warri-born artist shared his thoughts on how the practice of marrying multiple wives affects families, particularly women and children.
Taking to his social media page, Erigga asserted that while many men glorify polygamy as a sign of wealth or masculinity, the reality tells a different story. According to him, “Polygamy only hurts women and children; the men hardly feel the impact.”
The rapper’s remark has since gone viral, sparking mixed reactions among fans and cultural commentators. Some agreed with his view, saying that polygamous homes often breed emotional imbalance, jealousy, and competition among wives and siblings. Others, however, argued that polygamy has cultural roots and can work when managed properly.
Erigga, who is known for his street-wise perspective on societal issues, didn’t stop there — he emphasized that most men who advocate for polygamy do not consider the mental and emotional toll it takes on women. He noted that children from such families often suffer neglect or divided attention, while men continue to live life unaffected.
The rapper’s stance has reignited debates on whether polygamy still fits into modern Nigerian society, especially as more people push for equality and emotional awareness in relationships.
Erigga, who has built a reputation for using his platform to discuss real-life struggles, continues to prove that he’s not just an entertainer but also a voice for social consciousness.
