Before you ask why this sudden call to action, let's pause and reason this together for a moment.

Just imagine your brother or uncle spends his entire life toiling all night and day to ensure his child gets the very best in life, only for DNA to reveal that he is not the biological father.

Not only has he been deceived into believing that his precious kid is his biological child, but he has also spent every dime he ever earned into the life of this kid. Let's not talk about the unquantifiable sweat, affection and emotions invested.

As a young father, I just can’t imagine being told at the end of time that my precious child in whose eyes I find joy and whose laughter brings me immeasurable peace is not mine. Ha! How will I feel? Make you self reason am, before you ask me to be claiming down.

Imagine you as the father, you are in your 50’s, your suppose kids are now graduates and doing well in life, then balm! You get this shocking revelation that these kids are not yours. How will you feel?

Most men are quick to believe in the loyalty of their wives and the paternity of their children, only to be thunderstruck by the shocking revelation that the children belong to another man, in most cases an ex-boyfriend.

These disclosures are often made in the midst of strenuous marital issues, heated argument, separation or divorce. The affected men at this time are not only bewildered but are also dumbfounded and depressed.

Some collapse immediately, only to wake up with a myriad of cardiac issues such as stroke, while others relapse into serious bodily enervations and fatalities. Again, the woman gets away with it, but why?

Why do women get away with everything?

From wrongly accusing a male of sexual harassment, rape and infidelity. Now let’s pause for a moment and reason together, albeit, silently.

Why do women get everything and men, the sole provider in most cases get nothing?

Women get away with everything, whereas, in the case of the man, we are quick to chant crucify him.

A quick case of Cardi B and Bill Cosby comes to mind. Guilty of the same offence, the woman confessed live on social media, nothing happens. Whereas some women allege the same offence against the man and balm! his life comes crashing like the walls of Jericho.

I do not support rape or sexual predatory in any form. But why different treatment?

Recently, there seems to be an exponential rise in cases of infidelity among women, whether or not in holy or unholy matrimony. They deliberately deceive men into believing they are the biological father of their unborn baby. This rampant infidelity is more with educated women than the often discriminated against village women.

Most educated women, whilst in an unholy but legal marriage continue their relationship with their old boyfriends and any other man of their choice. Thereby breeding children out of wedlock and fraudulently passing same unto the unsuspecting spouse.

It's obvious from the look of things that these women deliberately refuse to have children for their legal spouse. There seems to be a preference to breed for their lover and boyfriends because they know when their ovulation starts and thus, allowing their boyfriends to fertilize their eggs, whilst mischievously deceiving their spouse into believing they are the biological father.

A case in point is that of a Judge of the High Court of Delta State who recently discovered non of the children from his previous marriage were his. How come?

Let’s consider the popular David Moyo’s case. We all know how the once cheerful man met his untimely death when he discovered that his two children were fathered by the wife's workplace lover Mr Nuhu, an ex-MD of a popular bank.

It can't be gainsaid that men are facing serious challenges in marriage and they seem to be suffering such pains quietly in secret. And to imagine that their only sin was trusting their spouse who mischievously pretended to be faithful and loyal is heart-wrenching.

Don't you think now is the time for our lawmakers to criminalise paternity fraud and pass a law that any woman found guilty of paternity fraud should be sentenced to life imprisonment?

And perhaps a death penalty in circumstances where the man dies as a result of such a shocking revelation?

I think this is the only way to curb the rising occurrence of paternity fraud, what do you think?

Whether they criminalized it or not any man that doesn't accept DNA test is a potential Tunde Thomas

But don't you think this will make the women think twice before engaging in such acts?

Just as the law criminalized stealing, did it made thieves to stop stealing? when your woman knows you will do DNA test on your children whether the government criminalized it or not, will she still allow another man to impregnate her unless she have something on her mind.

Paternity fraud is equivalent to rape; basically getting something off someone without their consent via deception or coercion. A paternity fraud apologist is just as bad as a rape apologist.

Woman too get power abeg

You can never be sure with women.

The problem is that a woman will say she didn't know that it was another man's child. So it will be difficult to prosecute them. And in such devilish affairs, women are very smart. When they sleep with their boyfriends raw and think there might be a possibility of pregnancy, a woman will seduce her husband that night and make him have sex with them as well (even though they deny him sex normally) just to get the dates to align (note: beware when a woman comes on to you too strongly; especially a normally lukewarm woman). So in this case, they can always claim before the court that since the dates aligned, they believed that the husband was the father. The only way to prosecute would be if the girl got pregnant long before she hooked the maga that will support it.

Criminalizing adultery might work though, if DNA testing can be tendered before the court as evidence of adultery. That should prevent paternity fraud. If a woman knows that a negative DNA test might land her in jail for adultery, she might be less likely to engage in paternity fraud.
