Would you forgive your husband if he got your maid pregnant?

Angela had worked for our family for two years. She’s hard working and fond of kids. I treated her like a younger sister. Recently, I discovered she was pregnant, and guess who she said was responsible? My loving husband, Deji. When I confronted my husband, he didn’t deny it. I never suspected Deji had been having sexual relations with the maid. I probably should have been more vigilant. Do I even have to blame the girl? What about my husband who could not keep his hands off her? If he had gotten another woman pregnant apart from my maid, it would have been bearable. But how could he stoop so low as to do it with our maid? Right under my nose? Hhmmm…. Now, he’s asking me to forgive his infidelity, claiming that it was the devil’s handiwork. I’m so confused even though I feel so betrayed and tempted to leave the marriage. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Some female celebrities speak…

It depends on a lot of factors — Iyabo Ojo, Actress/Producer

It’s his responsibility, so I won’t get involved. I will send her back to her family and ask them to contact her ‘baby papa’. As for my husband, we’ll definitely have a lot of issues and argument. So, it depends. I may walk out of the marriage or stay back and forgive his mistakes.

I will obtain permission to cheat — Cossy Orjiakor, Actress

I will find out the situation that led to it. If I still love him, I will forgive him, then take the matter to welfare. I will also obtain permission from him to cheat with anyone I fancy!
I’ll forgive him — Doris Simeon, Actress

I’ll forgive him and make sure he assumes responsibility for the child. That’s all I care about really.
I won’t kill anyone — Vanessa Nzediegwu, Actress

I’m not quite sure what I’ll do, but definitely not kill anyone.

I’ll raise the child as my own — Ella Daniels, Actress

Initially, I’m going to be very mad and would do some nasty things. But I won’t leave my house for the maid. I’ll send her packing but will take care of her till she delivers. Then, I’ll assume responsibility for the child because it’s my husband’s. So, I’ll forgive my husband and raise the child as my own.

Jonathan’s administration induced Iyabo to write against me - Obasanjo

By Abiodun Alade, @biodunpen

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has accused President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration of inducing Iyabo Obasanjo to write the well-publicised Open letter against him.

Obasanjo and Jonathan

In his yet-to-be-released three-part volume of his memoirs titled My Watch, which was exclusively obtained by an online journal, The Cable Alert, Obasanjo, said he had been warned that “this administration” was attempting to induce two of his daughters to do a “dirty job” and that he warned both of them against it. Obasanjo said Iyabo succumbed to the advances because of “her character” and “the influence of her mother” – who is the retired general’s first wife.

Obasanjo had remained silent since Iyabo’s open letter to him was published in the media, but has now responded in volume one of the three-volume memoirs. Obasanjo wrote: “I got a warning that this administration was attempting to induce two of my daughters, including Iyabo, to do a dirty job. I warned them both against it, but because of her character, the influence of her mother and her attitude, Iyabo succumbed; the other daughter did not.

“I was warned about a former minister of finance, who wrote the reply for Jonathan, and about the writer of the letter to which E. K. Clark appended his signature. Iyabo’s letter and the response to it has been treated as a family issue, so that all the members of the family can be equipped with the other side of the story from me for posterity.

“If Iyabo was childish and unwise enough to allow herself to be used, no other member of the family should allow himself or herself to be so used. Tolerance and acceptance of others must be practised in the face of any provocation, no matter how vile.”

In her letter, Iyabo, a former commissioner in Ogun state and former senator, recounted Obasanjo’s failings as a father and questioned his moral right to criticise others. “This is the end of my communication with you for life. I pray Nigeria survives your continual intervention in its affairs,” she wrote.

Obasanjo had written a highly critical letter to Jonathan titled “Before It Is Too Late” in which he raised issues about insecurity and corruption in the country.

He wrote: “You must hold yourself most significantly responsible for what happens or fails to happen in Nigeria and in any case, most others will hold you responsible and God who put you there will surely hold you responsible and accountable.” Obasanjo further repeated an allegation that Jonathan was training snipers to kill his political opponents.
