It Is A Crime To Be A Good Man In Nigeria - Ajogwu Jerry Ochada

A troubling story of paternity fraud has stirred heated debates online. A woman admitted marrying in 2013 while pregnant for another man, hiding the truth from her husband who sponsored her education. Now, she has sleepless nights as her husband has built real estate and named the boy as his heir. While some urged honesty, another comment advised: “E get secret wey you no fit tell anybody, na to carry am go grave.” This mindset is dangerous. Secrets buried in marriage have a way of resurfacing, often through health issues like genetic conditions or medical emergencies. Beyond that, living with such a burden destroys peace of mind. True healing and trust come from transparency, not secrecy. A marriage built on hidden truths will eventually crumble under the weight of deception.
