Nollywood actor and comedian, Babatunde Bernard Tayo, popularly known as Baba Tee, has weighed in on the ongoing DNA test controversy sparking debates on social media.
In recent weeks, Nigerians have found arguing regarding the necessity of couples undergoing DNA tests for their children, particularly in light of recent instances of paternity fraud.
In a recent interview with TVC, Baba Tee shared his perspective, emphasizing that women should prioritize leaving marriages that make them uncomfortable instead of resorting to paternity fraud due to issues such as domestic violence or infidelity.
The actor highlighted the prevalence of paternity fraud in the country, attributing it to various factors including upbringing and dissatisfaction with sexual relationships.
However, he expressed a willingness to accept a child who is not biologically his if his partner shows remorse for her infidelity.
Baba Tee said, “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.”
KanyiDaily had reported how a Nigerian OAP, Kanedrick Kingsley Agwu, popularly known as Fada Kane, discovered that he is not the biological father of his two children after over 20 years.
