EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1920s in Lokoja, Nigeria, West Africa, showcasing Abigah (also known as Abigel), the son of the King of Lokoja, with his two wives. Dressed in traditional attire, Abigah sits proudly between his two wives, both of whom are adorned with intricate beadwork and jewelry, reflecting their status as members of the royal family. The scene exudes an air of regality and tradition, transporting us back to a bygone era. At the time, polygamy was a common practice in many African societies, including the Igala people of Lokoja, and was often a sign of wealth and power for men. Islam, which was widely practiced in the region, also played a significant role in the acceptance and normalization of polygamy. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of African royalty during the early 20th century, providing valuable insights into the social structures and cultural practices of the time. The image is a testament to the rich and diverse history of Africa, showcasing the beauty and complexity of its people and their traditions. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on African history, anthropology, or sociology. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique stories and experiences of people from around the world.
