CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
There are many shades of interest
in Nigeria due to different tribes, states, towns and villages that makes up
the country. Every individual has certain interest of needs both in material
and emotional. The different interest gives rise to the different type of
marriage that abounds in Nigeria.
The types of marriage found
in Nigeria are polygamous, monogamy extended family to mention a few. This
indulgence has to do with the needs and status of the individual.
This study is prompted by the
practice of polygamous in this country and its effect on the educational
performance of a child.
Polygamous marriage is a system
of marriage in which a man maries more than one wife at a time. The number of
wives which ranges from two to many or may not depend on the status. Religious
and economic capability of the man. This form of marriage was given rise to
what sociologists often refer to as the extended family. Thus Bell and Vogal
{1980} define extended family as any grouping broader than the nuclear family
which is related by descent marriage of adoption. This is a common practice in
Nigeria the varying structure of any family from society to society has brought
this practice.
In the past polygamous marriage
system was practice in Nigeria because the main occupation was farming.
According to Hans Hasabaun (1976)
some of the contemporary reasons bought forward in support of polygamous are as
follows;
a)
Where
woman still have to bear the burden of work in compound and field thee
polygamous is often regarded as a help.
b)
Polygamous
is further thought to be a solution when tradition calls for a longer period
abstain from sexual relationship during breast feeding.
c)
Childlessness
or the value of having many children in general
d)
Polygamous
takes case of surplus of women, that is prevents prostitution given unmarried
woman protection and new homes for widows.
e)
Polygamous
is status symbol
However, due to the level of
technological advancement and he need to give educational training to children
the polygamous. It is a prestigious club for only those who are fit in view of
the fact that the polygamous structure has not help in steaming the
astronomical population of Nigeria with its attendant problems {evil} such as
children juvenile delinquency and other known child – crimes.
The question is then asked, has
it anything to do with children from the nuclear family or children from the
polygamous family.
Thus children from polygamous
family have not faired better in their educational performance because of the
issue raised above which range from lack of inadequate instructional materials.
