Abstract

Polygamy remains a prevalent institution in Nigeria, profoundly influencing cultural norms and societal dynamics. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between the nation’s polygamous antecedents and the nation-building challenges in the country. Through an examination of its historical and cultural dimensions, it explores the impact of disabled polygamy on different facets of nation-building, including social cohesion and gender relations. Drawing on a range of scholarly sources, the paper evaluates the complex interplay between polygamy and nation-building. By critically examining these issues, the paper contributes to a distinct understanding of the dynamics of polygamy within the Nigerian context and offers insights into the implications for nation-building.
