Paternity fraud largely practiced by married women and single mothers has been on the increased recently which may make DNA test mandatory for all babies delivered at public and private hospitals in the nearest future to put an end to the evil act.
Despite the cost placed on DNA, it has been very helpful to those who can afford it to know if truly the children belongs to them.
One of the unreported case was a lady who commited Paternity fraud end up losing both lovers.
While the lady has concluded all plans to tie the not with her Europe based husband who got her a car at the same had a one night stand with Yahoo Yahoo boy, who got her impregnated.
The diaspora husband took care of the antinatal, baby clothes, baby christening and relocated to Nigeria few weeks to their proposed wedding.
The lady who knew the fraud she commited confered in her mother who told her to maintain the oversea man instead of the biological father of the little baby.
The news of the paternity fraud was broken to the oversea husband after child dedication sponsored by him. He took it in good faith, collected his car among others then relocate back to oversea. The baby dad accepted the baby, and refused married the promiscuous wife.
A social commentator, Osakwe haggler reacting to Usman Femi Ogirima claims that “Studies show that 70% of first born does not belong to the person or father they claimed born them.
Reason, most girls at the time of getting married may be dating two or more men and having sexual intercourse with them all. when pregnancy occurs she will give to the one she loves among them not necessarily the real owner. Fear woman.”had this to say:
“I don’t agree with this submission Biko, it may likely to happen to those who may be waiting for the lady to be pregnant before taking her home as wife. But if you know your woman have a courtship for sometimes before marriage the issue of a first born being “omo ale” will hardly arise.
However, woman are very difficult, they can’t be trusted. I don’t trust or believe any woman. I accept woman whenever she is with me, don’t know what happen the next moment I’m out or she’s out. Even within.
What I’m saying is this, woman can do anything bad at any period. She can bring “Omo ale” before marriage, during the marriage and at the later time when you don’t expect.So it’s not likely at the first born. They can do it anytime.The 70% of Usman Femi Ogirima can’t be fact I disagree with his submission.
In his own response to Usman, Mr. Ganiu Oyebanjo wrote:
“Not in all cases. Even some last born might not even be from the husband. Marriage, does not mean the moment you come across a woman, you are taken her straight to the altar.
An adulterous woman, will forever be adulterous. Some married women with three or four children, at the end of the day, you find out that none of the children, belongs to the husband.
Its in all ages. Several Prophets, have to battle with adulterous companions one way or the other. Its not about the first or the last child. Its about the woman. Our mothers then, were very virtuous and chaste to an extent that their husbands were the first man to touch them.
We still have some very good women now, that can go to the shrine with you to confirm the paternity of their children.
I did not agree completely with him.
