Hey guys, I really need your advice. A woman got pregnant for a schoolmate in Higher Institution, the guy actually impregnated her deliberately because he wanted her to be trapped with him. This guy is of a very dubious character and has duped a lot of people and done a lot of fraudulent things. When the lady found out all the wicked things he was into (along with getting involved in diabolic stuff), she decided to call it quitts after she was delivered of the child (female). The guy threatened her with all manner of threats but she refused to go back on her decision.

After a few years she eventually met a young man genuinely interested in her who wants to marry her, the lady is scared of commitement because she does not want a situation where she would get married and the ex would come back to demand for his child and make trouble. She does not want to give her ex custody of the child because of his dubious and wicked character.

Is there a law in the country that would support her as the mother of the child to have complete custody of the child since the child was born out of wedlock? Can her new husband formally adopt the child as his legally?

Please lawyers and people with such knowledge should comment. Mods, take this to front page as it is a very delicate situation.

"Actually impregnated her deliberately."

How can a man impregnate a woman deliberately?

Na wao, just for meat?

It's been like this for a long time in ibo land that their bride price is outrageously expensive.

Didnt you notice this during your courtship? You guys are now married, I wont recommend a divorce, Never! You have to arrive at a compromise to solve this problem. I wish you well.

Indignity. And the young man does not have the sense and courtesy to stop this old man from prostrating before him. This is truly shameful.

Wao!

Your GPA determines if you should graduate with honors or not, I mean, that's how it is here in the USA.

The grooms look alike.

That man should be arrested.

Hello NairalandSARS, I got an email from you, what is this regarding?

Same thing happened to the protagonist in "Behold The Dreamers" by Imbolo Mbue.

WAO, did not know that the prices of food has skyrocketed this much in Nigeria. A plate of food back in the early 90's was going for 2 Naira.

Nigeria still has a long way to go to prosecute corruption.

shameful.

Kidnapping is a menace and they should be dealt with.

I am happy to read that the baby survived. May God bless the CP in Jesus Name, Amen.

That's nice. Childhood friends getting married. I would think it's everybody's dream.

Pepperdine University is beautiful

Yoy forgot to add that Awolowo senior and awolowo intermediate initially refused to accept that Segun was their blood while late Segun was alive. It was after Segun's death that Obafemi Awolowo reconsidered his stance on acknowledging Segun Awlowp as his grandson. Expert on the Law of evidence.

Not true.

Chinua Achebe?

What exactly happened?

tell tale sign that you are in an abusive relationship, please call it quits before it escalates and you yourself are troubled by the relationship, so that should be a clue to put an end to it.

I read that Lakshmi Mittal's daughter's wedding was over 50 million dollars. Google it. It was very extravagant.

His second wife, Adewunmi Ogunbiyi, won Miss Nigeria 1988.

This question is experiencing a resurgence on social media. Here it is.

This is IMPRESSIVE!

GARY, Ind. — An 18-year-old girl from Indiana is already set to graduate college — even before she gets her high school diploma!

To earn her degree, Raven Osborne took online classes, attended year-round community college, and completed two years at Purdue University Northwest. She will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a minor in early childhood education, USA Today reports.

Osborne is also the first student in 21st Century Charter School’s history to earn a bachelor’s degree while still enrolled. She will receive her high school diploma on May 22, ...

I went to India to visit a friend of mine in Mumbai, I saw Nigerians lavishing and wasting in that country. India as a country is very poor and the only proffesion booming there is the medical and pharmaceutical line, still they disrespect African and take us as shiit. Let me share this experience " I walked into a shopping mall and I got to admired this sweet fair india girl, I thought it was like in Nigeria so I was like " babe, how are you?", the girl smiled and she was like "if she's not fine, what kind I do for her?" I thought it was a joke oooo, the next minute I saw youths gathering in the mall and wanting to harass me, the india girl kept telling them that "I asked her how she was with a smile on my face". I immediately noticed an old, matured man, so I thought he would understand my plights, so I told him "sir, asking someone how he/she is in Nigeria is like a compliment", to my greatest surprise the man yelled at me and asked why I should ask her such question, he sounded as if its wrong for me to ask an India girl out. To my greatest surprise they kept dragging my cloth until the security men came to rescue me.

I met an agile Nigerian guy crying and telling me he wish to see nigeria again.

India is very conservative when it comes to mingling with the opposite gender

My people, no place like home ooo, I remembered visiting Dubai late last year, I went to a particular area called chaja ( not sure if I get the spelling), this area is full of wasted and stranded nigerians with no hope of coming back home.

Abeg, I will start to appreciate this home called Nigeria oo, no matter how its is oooo

India is a very conservative country and arranged marriage is still in vogue.

I just thought of that as well.

It's the trend for high profile Nigerians to send their children abroad for their education.
