Renowned actor and comedian Babatunde Bernard Tayo, popularly known as Baba Tee, has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding DNA tests that has gripped social media platforms.

During a recent interview with TVC, Baba Tee shared his perspective on the matter, attributing the high prevalence of paternity fraud in the country to various factors, including upbringing and issues related to sexual satisfaction. He emphasized that in cases of paternity fraud, the woman bears the responsibility, and cannot shift blame to the man, regardless of his actions that may have influenced her behavior.

According to Baba Tee, instances of domestic violence or infidelity by spouses cannot serve as justifications for paternity fraud. He asserted that if a man mistreats his partner, the woman should have the courage to leave the marriage rather than resorting to deceit.

While acknowledging the complexities of relationships, Baba Tee expressed his willingness to forgive and accept a child born out of infidelity if his partner shows genuine remorse. He emphasized that his decision to accept the child would be based on the woman's sincerity and commitment to repairing the relationship.

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.”

In essence, Baba Tee's stance highlights the importance of honesty and accountability in relationships, urging individuals to confront issues directly rather than resorting to deception. His perspective adds depth to the ongoing discourse surrounding paternity fraud and underscores the significance of trust and integrity in intimate partnerships.
