Teni, who hails from a family where her late father had three wives and a total of 10 children, expressed her love for the unique dynamics of a polygamous household.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her upbringing, the artist shared, &#8220;I grew up in a polygamous family with many people, where you can&#8217;t do rubbish. I received a lot of love and protection. Three wives, 10 children. Huge respect to my bloodline! I get along with all of my siblings, though there are levels of closeness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teni went on to express a preference for the vibrant atmosphere of a polygamous home over the perceived monotony of a monogamous one. She added, &#8220;Any other way is boring. If I come back to this life again, I want to come to the same family. How can I be in a monogamous house where all of us will be sitting down; no chaos?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sharing unique insights into her family&#8217;s dynamics, Teni highlighted the strong bond created through shared experiences. She narrated how her father, anticipating his future and demise, ensured his wives were equipped with essential skills, including marksmanship. This preparation allowed the family to face challenges together even after his passing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was like my father planned his future and his death. So before he died, he taught his wives everything, including how to shoot, and when he passed, they used the skill. That&#8217;s how our family is still able to remain intact even after my dad&#8217;s death,&#8221; Teni revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 gap-1 visible\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex gap-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full gap-2 items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent episode of the Zero Conditions Podcast, popular Nigerian singer Teni, born Teniola Apata, opened up about her positive experiences growing up in a polygamous family.
