A Nigerian man, identified simply as John has purchased a Mercedes G-class to a South African man, to apologize for impregnating his wife.
John said he did not regret buying a luxury Mercedes-Benz G-class to the South African man as a token to apologise for impregnating his wife.
He said:
“I know what I did was 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 who got pregnant said she knew about the affair but never thought it would lead to a pregnancy. She said she is disappointed the husband accepted the Mercedes-Benz from the Nigerian national.
She said:
“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 quoted the Bible which says that believers should forgive and forget.
“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,” said the husband who didn’t want to be named.
“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,” he added.
