A Nigerian man residing in South Africa has made headlines after purchasing a luxury Mercedes-Benz G-Class as a gesture of apology to a South African man for impregnating his wife.
The man, who identified himself as John, expressed no remorse for his actions, stating,
“I know what I did is wrong, but I feel better he has accepted my gift. He accepted that his wife, my girlfriend, is pregnant and will soon give birth to my son. He was angry at first, but when I presented the car to him, his anger vanished.”
A source close to the family of the woman involved revealed that she was aware of the affair but never anticipated it would result in a pregnancy. The source voiced disappointment at the husband’s acceptance of the Mercedes-Benz from John, saying,
“Nigerian men will never take our men seriously. What kind of a man accepts a gift from a man who impregnated his wife? He will impregnate her again and buy the stupid husband another car. I am so disappointed.”
When approached for a comment, the husband defended his decision, stating,
“It is wrong to say I am stupid. The point of the matter is we cannot reverse what happened. We sat down as men and sorted the issue. The Bible says we must forgive and forget. I have always dreamed of driving a G-wagon. Christmas came early for me and my family.”
He further expressed his commitment to the situation, saying,
“The baby will be born and I’ll take care of him as my own. If the father wants to take him to Nigeria, I wouldn’t mind. I will give my wife the support she needs always. That is what marriage is all about. I love my wife and will not leave her because of a mere pregnancy.”
