Nigerian singer, Teni the Entertainer, has disclosed that, despite growing up in a polygamous household, she received all of her love and support at home.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Zero Conditions podcast, Teni talked about her upbringing in a polygamous home. She also talked about the reasons she would still rather like to grow up in a polygamous family in her future life.<\/p>\n

Teni praised her late father for maintaining harmony in the family and claimed that because of her siblings, she was well-protected and suffered no harm.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMalaika\u201d hitmaker revealed that although there\u2019s a level of closeness, she is close to all her other nine siblings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in a polygamous family with a lot of people so you cannot come and be doing rubbish. I was very protected, I was very loved, and I was very well taken care of. 10 children, 3 wives. Big salute to my bloodline. I\u2019m close to all my siblings, but there are levels of closeness.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know any other way, it is boring. If I come back to this life again, I want to come back to the same family. How can I be in a house with one mother, and one father? Ah ah, then all of us will now be sitting down there. Ah ah. There\u2019s no chaos.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In my house there is love, but we change it oh! Cuz ah, the person wey born us dey crase sha. Do you know what it is to hear gunshots and go to where the gunshots are? That\u2019s not normal.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My father was very wise. It was like he planned his future, and then he planned his death. So before he died, his wives knew about everything. He taught them everything one of my mothers knows how to shoot. He taught them how to be and when he passed, they used the skill. That\u2019s how our family was still able to be intact even after my dad passed.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
