Man Rejects His Baby, Says Child Should Never Know He Exists

A Nigerian man has ignited a storm of backlash online after publicly rejecting his 5-month-old son, expressing deep regret over fathering the child with a woman he now describes as the “wrong person.”

The incident came to light after screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation surfaced on social media, shared by user @ChuksEricE. In the chat, the man firmly distanced himself from the child, stating that he no longer acknowledges the baby as his own and wants no emotional or legal ties to him.

He went as far as instructing that the child should never be told he has a father and urged the mother to attribute paternity to someone else entirely. His words conveyed a clear desire to erase the boy from his life completely.

The man’s declaration has since triggered widespread condemnation online, with many users expressing disbelief at the emotional toll such rejection could have on the innocent child. Some commentators viewed his reaction as a reflection of a growing trend of strained relationships and absentee fatherhood in modern Nigerian society.

Others questioned the man’s emotional state and the impact of unresolved personal conflicts on parental responsibilities.

As the post continues to circulate, it has reignited broader conversations around fatherhood, accountability, and the welfare of children caught in the middle of broken relationships.
