DNA: I can accept a child that isn’t mine – Baba Tee
Actor and comedian Babatunde Bernard Tayo, better known as Baba Tee, has asserted that irrespective of a DNA test result, he will accept a child that isn’t his.
Nigerians have been divided over whether it is necessary to do DNA tests or not given recent cases of paternity fraud.
In a recent interview with TVC, Baba Tee stated the high rate of paternity fraud in the country is due to several issues, including poor upbringing and lack of sexual satisfaction.
He asserted that when it comes to paternity fraud, the woman is always the one at fault, stressing that the blame can’t be shifted to the man regardless of how his actions may have influenced the woman’s actions.
He, however, said he can accept a child that isn’t his if his partner is truly remorseful for cheating.
His words: “Women can’t use domestic violence or infidelity on the part of their spouses as an excuse for paternity fraud. If a man is not treating you well, walk out of the marriage.
”When it comes to paternity fraud, the woman is always at fault. You can’t shift the blame to the man because men don’t conceive. As a woman, if you know you can’t tolerate your husband’s maltreatment or infidelity, leave the marriage.
“Personally, there is nothing I can’t keep for a woman who is good to me. If a woman cheats on me and a child comes out of it and I find out, I will forgive her if she is remorseful. I will take the child as my own.”
