Bamidele, a Nigerian social media strategist, has sparked a debate by stating that men have a responsibility to care for a child even if they discover they are not the biological father.
She expressed her views on Twitter, advocating for husbands to overlook cases of paternity fraud committed by their wives.
According to Bamidele, if a man undergoes a DNA test and learns that the child is not biologically his, but he is in a committed relationship with the mother, he should still take custody of the child. News About Nigeria reports.
She argued that women endure a lot during childbirth, and it is essential for men to treat them well regardless of the situation.
She wrote; “Men, if you check your baby’ DNA and the child is not yours, so far you are with the woman it is your responsibility to take custody of the baby. It doesn’t change anything.
Women go through a lot in Childbirth and women deserve better.”
