Confam.... Nigerian women cheat more than men!

The issue of declaring the paternity of a child is a very dicey one and has caused many surprises for men who thought they were the biological fathers of their children. It must be very heartbreaking for a man to think that he is the biological father of a child but after carrying out a DNA test, it proves otherwise.
In a 2012 interview with The Nation, a DNA expert gave some interesting statistics about the paternity of Nigerian men, saying that three out of every ten Nigerian men are not the biological fathers of their kids!

According to the DNA expert, he said that What they have found out is that, anytime they take ten men, at least three of them eventually found that they are not the fathers of the children they call their own. And these men would have taken care of the children for all their lives. Now, the global statistics is 100, 000 out of every 300, 000 men. But what experts have found that is that the situation is higher in Nigeria than other places.

For example in our laboratory here, 50 per cent of the cases come out negative. And these experts have also realized that majority of the first-borns are affected… In otherwords, most of the firstborns are not fathered by their real biological fathers and  You only need to be in the hospitals to see big men cry like little kids and watch children weep in agony at the news of falsehood and pretence or call it lies told by their wives or mothers respectively. It has been that bad.

I tell you, thirty per cent of fathers are unknowingly bringing up children who are not biologically theirs, and the percentage may be on the increase due to sexual recklessness. According to the DNA expert, negative paternity results is both rampant in matrimony and casual affiliations.
In one instance, a man went to the hospital with his wife to find out if his children that he had been fathering for years were his. Result came out and Out of the five children he thought were his own, he discovered that only two belonged to him. And they both are both duly married, living together as husband and wife. Now, this must have been really shocking for the man but this brings me to this one million dollar questions. Does it mean that Nigerian women cheat more than men?
Imagine experiencing the joy of conception, delivery, watching a child take baby steps, bearing the financial and moral responsibilities of raising the child, watching the child turn into a lady or gentleman… and then DANG! The child is not yours.  As a man, what would you do if you found out a child your wife or partner said was yours turned out not to be yours?

Remember in july 2012, A survey conducted by condom manufacturer, Durex, in which 29,000 people in 36 countries were interviewed, ranked Nigerian women as the most unfaithful in the world. Now if you have forgotten all about that survey, then let me remind you:
According to the survey, Thailand men are the most unfaithful in the world, with 54 per cent of them admitting to cheating on their spouses. South Korea came in second with 34 per cent, while Malaysia ranked number three with 33 per cent.
The survey revealed that the top two countries with cheating women are Nigeria, with 62 per cent, and Thailand, 59 per cent.
The survey indicated that 39 per cent of Malaysian women also confessed to having betrayed their partners. Russian women came fourth at 33 per cent while Singaporeans are fifth at 19 per cent.
An independent survey also conducted in Africa by AE affirms the fact that Nigeria with a population of over 160 million tops the chart for cheating women. Corruption and a general distrust among citizens were cited as being largely responsible for this.
So do we conclude that the highly debated Durex report saying that Nigerian women are the most unfaithful in the world might actually be true?

Why would a woman tell a man he is the father of her child when he isn’t? What can you make out of the statistics?

In the case where a man is married to a woman and she is delivered of a baby, do you think it would be right for her husband to do a DNA test to be sure that that child is his, seeing that over the years most women have been known to either tell a lie about the paternity of the child in cases of infidelity?
If yes, what if it turns out that the child belongs to you, wouldn’t that breed anger on the part of the woman, believing that her husband doesn’t trust her?
