The woman said the ex-partner, who was a lecturer at a polytechnic in Edo State, had instructed her to get rid of the pregnancy as he was not ready to become a father.
Nigerians have donated ₦5 million to a woman, identified as Braimoh Blessing Evelyn, to take care of her twins after their father refused to accept responsibility for them.
In a heartfelt post on her X account on Saturday, September 28, 2024, Evelyn appealed to Nigerians for help amid her struggle to meet up with the children’s upkeep due to economic hardship.
In a series of posts under the handle @eevlyn22, she detailed what transpired between her and the twins’ father who is now based in the United Kingdom.
According to her narration, the duo met in the middle of 2019 while the man was a lecturer at Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State. She fell deeply in love, believing they had a future together.
Evelyn said the man had expressed dissatisfaction with his lecturing job and told her about his plan to relocate abroad for greener pastures.
”He told me about his plans to travel outside the country where his elder brother was. When we met, he was a lecturer at Auchi Polytechnic, so he said he didn’t really like the job and was going to look for greener pastures abroad,’‘ she wrote.
By 2022, the lecturer informed her that his visa had been approved, and while she was initially happy for him, things took an unexpected turn.
”In 2022, he told me his visa was out; I was very happy for him, so I asked him about his plans towards me. He did the usual sweet-talking, saying he was never going to forget me, bla bla.
”It was during this period I found out I was pregnant. When I told him about the pregnancy, he said he wouldn’t advise me to keep it because he was travelling and also wasn’t ready to be a father; and that I should terminate the pregnancy,” she recalled.
