Big Brother Naija reality star, Nina Ivy has emphasized that businessman Cubana Chief Priest cannot be forced to support his alleged child, even if a DNA test confirms paternity.
She shared her thoughts in response to a video of Hellen Ati, the woman claiming to have had a child with Cubana Chief Priest, pleading with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma to intervene.
Reacting in the comment section, Nina argued that Hellen put herself in this difficult position, especially if she knowingly had a relationship with a married man who had no intention of acknowledging the child.
The BBNaija star stressed that legal obligations wouldn’t necessarily apply in this case, even if DNA results proved Cubana Chief Priest is the father.
Nina Ivy wrote, “If she knew he was married with children and had no intention of claiming her or the child, then she put herself in this situation.
“A child should never be used to trap someone, especially when there was no real connection between them.
“The reality is, men are naturally inclined toward polygamy, and in this case, she will have to handle this on her own because he won’t take responsibility. Before deciding to have a child, she should have ensured she had the means to provide for them independently.”
She added, “@ifynayaa Even if the DNA test is done and confirms that he is the father, that doesn’t mean he will be legally forced to take responsibility for the child.”
“Yes, I live in the U.S., but let’s be real this isn’t the U.S. this is Nigeria. Over there , if you choose to have a child with a married man, you are on your own because the system does not work in your favor.
“It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality. Yes, men should be held accountable, but let’s not ignore the fact that women also have a responsibility to protect themselves.
“Hoping a married man will suddenly change and take responsibility is wishful thinking. In Nigeria, if you don’t think ahead, you’ll be left to deal with the consequences alone.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Helen Ati recently gave Cubana Chief Priest a two-month deadline to acknowledge the boy and take responsibility.
