Pregnancy scam (1)

COULD it be said that it is an African fraud when it is strongly believed that only a woman can determine and tell the father of her baby? As far as I am concerned, that African assertion is a big fraud; an undue advantage to promiscuous young girls to scam any promising youngman they could lay their hands on. 

These days, paternity fraud has become the order of the day. 

I bet you, no woman can tell whose seed is in her womb, especially if she had had sex with more than one man around the time of conception.

Yes, I said what I said! 

After all, a lot of women don’t even get to know they were pregnant for weeks so how could they tell whose definite seed is in their womb… (of course, I am referring to situations of infidelity which is almost the norm today). 

A very good percentage of women don’t even know much about their reproductive system; when they are ovulating, about to menstruate, neither do they know their dry or free period.

The advantage that phony belief gives to women is that a woman can sleep recklessly around, get pregnant and simply point to the one she knows has all the resources she can feast on.

I can’t but wonder how many children have been born to homes and husbands who must take responsibility for seeds they genuinely cannot account for; thanks to this fraudulent African science.

Such a situation would make one suspicious of most  of the first born in many African homes where pregnancy was the wedding (welding), particularly in the cultures where women have the infallible sole privilege to determine the paternity of the infant.

For the records, new statistics actually and factually say that about 30% – 40% of children in most Nigerian homes have paternal issues. Especially the first born in cases where there were any kinds of delay in conception. Also, consider the intense pressure women always suffer when after nine months of marriage there is no yelling infant.

The women though not meaning to cheat but also being mindful of the brewing trouble, try to get pregnant by all means.

They actually go all out visiting everywhere imaginable to get help. And the help giver most of the time are far from sympathetic. Sometimes they actually include sex with their clients as a legitimate part of the solutions.

And who is going to argue? Am I advocating a massive shift of wealth to doctors by going for aggressive DNA test?  Not really, all I am saying is, as far as paternal accuracy is concerned, the woman does not have the power ascribed to her.

This same issue was raised in a little gathering of friends, two weekends ago. Hmm, a friend who has been caught in such a messy situation opened up to tell his story…
