WOW thats some story you had a lucky escape he sounds like a monster.  I suggest you let all your family know what he is doing and the threats he is making.  Dont let him near your baby what a loser he only wants to know the child because of some dumb title.

He can bring the police or army if he wants they can't do a thing.

Dont allow yourself to be broken you have done well to pull yourself backup.  You should be very proud of yourself.  Look after your child I'm sure you will find a correct guy soon!

All the best darling 

Story is very touching and looks similar to numerous nollywood scripts

If thru though, you will have to try & forgive for the sake of your beautiful child as a dad's influence cannot be bought nor can it be substituted.

Having said all that though, he doesn't have any right to threaten you. He needs to continue begging and hope you will change your mind very soon.

Remember a child is involved so try and overlook the past even though it's very difficult

@natalya
I feel your pain gal. Cant imagine what you had to put up with all these years.
The father of your CHILD was irresponsible and still is, report to the POLICE and child welfare just incase the FOOL resorts to KIDNAPPING the child. Tell your Parents as well,

This is one story that has underline how wicked some men could be. @ poster u have to be strong. Don't allow him to intimidate you. He is a fool to have made the statement of reporting you to the Police. u see my dear all he want is the title and unfortunately for him ur child is attached to it because his wife cannot give him a child then he now remember he has a child somewhere. For now don't give in and let him lose that title for the pain he has inflicted on you but later you can. Inform your family eps your grandfather and be strong and brave. I'm a guy and i cant ever imagine doing that to a lady.

he needs the baby now dat his wifey cant give him children. . . . he is such a BIG FOOL, wel turn yr back against him juz the way he did to you, he doesnt worth d child, dont u dare give him dat child and you shud report to the police also.
Am sure the wife doenst know abt d child.

He knew you had the kid yet did he ever call about her wellbeing or sending money for his upkeep?

I take it from your story,. he didnt but he wants it cos of a title. You should tell him the child isnt his

Chei!!! People dey wicked ooooo.

@Poster
Well, your story sounds touching, i feel your pain but i must commend you for your bravery you have done very well.

I think that guy is a very BIG fool i've ever seen, after rejecting the pregnancy which he damned know he did it. Now come back for it so that he can win a title. Foolishness!!!

If he like let him bring or hire Al-Qaeda he cant do nothing.

If he threaten you again let me know. i know how to dealt with those fool like that.

Gilr your own man will surely come.

@ natalya

thats a very touching story and i feel your pain girl

i beg you tho to not base your decision on advise gotten from an internet forum

i know u must be angry but please don't forget there is a child involved
you might think it best to keep her from her dad now but how will she feel about it
I'm not saying you should jump back into bed with him (God forbid!)  but allowing a relationship between him and is child may not be so bad,,,
Its entirely your decision and one you should not take based on emotions alone. You have to be fully prepared to handle the consequences of ur decision plus u hav to be the bigger person and think of your childs welfare, its ur duty as a good mum

Yes he may only want her because h's desperate to show he isn't impotent but then again karma might have caught up with him and he really is sorry. There is no way to find out unless u talk to him and give him a Chance to explain. yes he threatened to call the police (^{like they can do anything?}) but Nigerian men are famous for their lack of finesse, it may boil down to desperation. speak to him and find out if its safe to hav him in your child's life.,,, try to sort this out in a civilised manner rather than the screaming matches and threats, try to remember its no longer just the both of you, there is a third person involved and she should always be taken into consideration. if you are not convinced, make him proove he is genuine, allow him short visits until your mind is put at  rest,,, whatever you have to do but don't make rash decisions!

Parents tend to force their anger on their children but u have to realise she either wont see it d way u did and hate you for keeping her from her dad, or she'd adopt your anger as her own and take it out on all men,,, you really can't say and these are things you should consider. anyways I've said too much already. I wish you all the best

Your story may sound like Nollywood production but I have to give my contribution.

 This case normally happen in Igboland and we've ways of solving them.
 The baby will one day ask of her father and you'll definitely show her the dude.  So you now stand the chance to make some offer to him to choose now he's desperate to have her. what is this offer? Make a list of all the expenses you made from the day you took in to the day he start taking care of the baby, let him pay it back to you with a guarantee of giving child support every month.
Get yourself a good lawyer to back yourself up and make sure some of his elder kingsmen and yours are available the day he'll sign before you let him take her.

There is no need for you to hold her when you know she'll one day decides to see her father. it's like fighting a war you know quite well you'll loose.
   The Name bastard is too strong to bear in Nigeria.

No way hotness. He only wants her so he can claim a title. That Child needs to be protected from such a man. When he comes to his senses then she should talk to him!!!

@oziomatv,i 2nd 2 ur suggestion,but is beta 4 d mother 2 hv custody of d baby while d dad have d visitation right.LOL

LadyT:

My stand is we are in no position to makethis decion for her,
she needs decide for herself, she knows him and its her child,
I'm just saying, all possibilties shd be considered or she'll ruin the relationship she could hav with her child

chisimdi:

@oziomatv,i 2nd 2 your suggestion,but is beta 4 d mother 2 hv custody of d baby while d dad have d visitation right.LOL

that would be safe option, but remeber as soon as she is old enough she might want to spend more time with him

I actually agree with ozimatv's suggestion. She should have her family's backing in making sure this idiot keeps his word

Sad thing is that his new constant presence in her life might hinder other people from wanting to be with her

chisimdi:

@oziomatv,i 2nd 2 your suggestion,but is beta 4 d mother 2 hv custody of d baby while d dad have d visitation right.LOL

   Your so right, but am not saying the baby will be with the father but to have access to her, he has to fulfill all these traditional rights.
   This how some part of Igbo solve this kind of problem. Who has never been in his shoes will never understand.

   He has to pay the price of abandoning the poor lady.

This is a forged story.

tngtech:

This is a forged story.

     But it do happens, one need to take precaution cause it happens real.

Just give your own ideas or move to jokes section.

My dear, such a sad story, but fortunately, with a pleasant ending. They say to err is human, but to forgive is divine. Let him see the child, but under no circumstances should you let him take your daughter. For i suspect that he is interested in your daughter for the sake of his title, rather than your child's welfare. But then, after all said, he is still the child's father, and as such has some right to her, irrespective of what might have happened in the past.

tngtech:

This is a forged story.

what part of the story seems forged, this things happen believe it or not.
@poster
when your child start asking questions about her dad, dont forger to tell her what an insensitive, irresponsible, selfish SOB he is.

oziomatv:

But it do happens, one need to take precaution cause it happens real.

Just give your own ideas or move to jokes section.

am not here to quarrel ok, but sometimes, nairalanders just forge stories.

I totally agree with you hotness but as almost everyone has said she needs to inform her family they can give her advice. But she will still decide what she wants to do. All we can do is give our opinions on the topic posted on a forum. What people do with the advice is totally up to them.

Either fiction or reality the basic underlining truth is that:

There are consequncies for giving into pre-marital sex
Your lovely baby girl will definately one day needs her father
Yove got to settle downwith another man oneday(you daughter might be a possible obstacle)

In the interim i'll give my vote for oziomatv's opinion.
sipmly let him pay dearly for his mistake(wikedness) and take the kid with witneeses testifying to
his sincere resolve to keep the kid.

Best of luck.

Like i said earlier that dude is a big fool for all i care.

@ Oziomatv i second that opinion. But shit happpens.

@ Poster: make sure he pays for all the pain he made you pass through.
but remember no one can make decision for you but put your daughter into consideration which i believe one day she will surely ask of her father.Remember you cant outline that fact.

But make sure this FOOL is serious about making reasonable considerations for what he caused.

Well, i'm in no way to make decisions for you but i'll advice to put your daughter into consideration.

Good luck!!!

tngtech:

We're not quarrelling, I only said you should give your own Ideas it might help.

oziomatv:

thank you.

[color=#770077]my dear, the only thing i can say is that you should think very well and pray very hard b4 u make a decision.Am not comfortable with the fact that he only asked after his child when he needed to get a title from his, Ok, after he gets the title what happens??will he really care for and love that child, As a mother to be,[sup][/sup]currently pregnant, i think every child deserves all the love and care that only their parents can give and if this man is not ready to love ur child, then u should consider letting him into her life, Thats just my own opinion, [/color]

Sometimes last week, I got a call from downstairs and when i went there, who did i see but the father of my child. I wanted to leave but he held onto me, begging me to forgive him. i told him he almost ruined my life. h told me he had gotten married and that his wife was yet to give him a child, and that in his village, there was a title or something that was to be given to him, and since he had no child, the title was being withdrawn from him and was to be gven to someone else. I told him to get lost and that i had long since aborted the pregnancy, but he told me no, that he knew that i had the baby, and that he had seen me with her one evening when i went to the supermarket. i told him to get lost and i had to end up telling the security men to take him out when things were getting heated.

Ever since he has been begging me. Yesternite, he called me and threatened me that if i don't give him his child, he'll call the police. i told him to do his worst and hung up on him. People what can i do? do i allow him see his child or do i call his bluff?

does he need the child because he wants a chieftancy title and not even because his wife is yet to conceive

From your story, I gather the child is 5 years old or so. There's still plenty of time for his wife to have her own baby.

personally, if na me o, I'd just move elsewhere when the guy's wahala became too much. He doesnt sound serious at all.


This is why some women remarry ASAP after all this kind of stress.  At least the deadbeat wont insist on gragra if he sees another man in the house.

Does anyone see what I see here?

I believe this man hasn't told his wife about this one child. Now, if Natalya eventually allows the man to take the child and show his villagers that he's got a child it means that his wife will then find out he had a child outside wedlock.

Can you imagine how the wife will feel knowing that;

1.He hid the child from her
2.He's going back to his ex 'cause she can't give him a child

Natalya, while I agree with Ozi's advice, please don't give him this child until the title whatever is over. Who says your daughter should never see her father? She will but based on a good reason and not some flipping title.

What a guy.

And yet, he was quick to suggest the child wasn't his!

Now, for the sake of some silly crusty title, he now decides the child is his afterall.

I'd say the little girl's better off, having no father at all, than a selfish, egotistical being like the loser who fathered her.
The poster's still young, the fact she's had a child outside wedlock will NOT stop a decent guy falling for her, marrying her, and being a father to the little one.

We live in modern times, not all children brought up with a father's influence turn out good. In the same vein, not all children brought up without a father's influence turn out bad.

Well, @poster

1st tell him u found out the child wasnt his after allm (to purnish him)

2nd if he insist let him go thru as much pain as u went thru jus to see the child

3rd pls in the name of GOD neva give him possession on the child on any condition

4th u made mention of ur brother let them know wat happening (damn i wish u were my sister then the bastard ll understand the differenct in water and pepper soup)

@topic

chineke God of nairaland

@poster
