Popular actor and comedian Babatunde Bernard Tayo, aka Baba Tee, has shared his opinion on the DNA test controversy rocking social media.
DAILY POST reports that Nigerians have been divided over whether DNA tests are necessary or not, given recent cases of paternity fraud.
In a recent interview with TVC, Baba Tee said the high rate of paternity fraud in the country is due to several issues, including upbringing and lack of sexual satisfaction.
He said 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 remorseful for cheating.
He 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.”
