Why I can't quit music - Erigga

In a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, popular Nigerian rapper Erigga spoke out against polygamy, warning that the practice can have negative consequences for women and children. Drawing from his own upbringing in a polygamous household, he explained that such arrangements often lead to hurt and conflict, primarily affecting the women and children involved.

Erigda highlighted the complexities of polygamous relationships, noting that the dynamics tend to favor the man while the women and children bear the brunt of the arrangement. Determined not to repeat his father’s path, he said he is consciously choosing monogamy instead.

His stance is rooted in personal experience and observation of the emotional distress that can arise in these families. Erigga urged men to consider the potential repercussions of polygamy and to opt for monogamy, which he believes offers a more straightforward and fulfilling arrangement for all parties.

By speaking out, Erigga joins a growing conversation about the pros and cons of non‑monogamous relationships and their impact on individuals and society. His comments have sparked interest in the ongoing debate about polygamy’s effects on women and children, and, as a public figure, his views are likely to resonate with fans and contribute to broader discussions about relationships and family dynamics. With his music and public persona, Erigga has built a platform to share his thoughts, and his recent remarks on polygamy are expected to generate further conversation and reflection on the topic.
