My Marital Life....part 3.
Dear Mrs Moronke Akindele,
In my second correspondence to you on this matter, I hinted that I harbour doubts about the paternity of "our" kids premised on some factors.
I should dwell on those factors in more detail:
1. The strange manner you tricked the kids from church to your house on that sunday without obtaining my consent to this move. I need not remind you that such action regarding those underage kids amounts to KIDNAP in law...notwithstanding the fact that you are their biological mother. They have lived with you ever since!
Seven years at the last count!
A woman may only act in such manner to inform her husband that he is not the biological father to her kids.... I suppose they have been living in their father's house ever since....with you!
2. Your decision not to inform me of "our" daughter's call to the Nigerian bar....only for me to chance upon such event on live telecast on AIT! (African Independent Television). It was...to say the least...the ruddest shock of my life. I was not even informed of the fact that she had qualified as a barrister.
Neither was I invited to her graduation event in LASU.
If I still nursed any doubts about the message you were trying to convey, this latter action of yours should erase such doubts... You merely confirmed that that girl is not my biological daughter....and I presume her real biological father was duly informed about her qualifying as a lawyer and barrister and invited to play his fatherly roles at those ceremonies!
3. The third issue is that Tofunmi bears no resemblance to me....facially and attitudinally. She is cold, cruel and vicious....and cool at it! In addition, the fact that she could so easily detach emotionally from me is a veritable pointer that she has no emotional....or biological....connection with me.
I must demand for DNA evidence as proof of incontrovertible biological paternity...only if I would belabour myself unnecessarily!
I know you are poised to keep me uninformed even when she weds. To you, such a move would be the icing on the cake in "dealing with" Tosin Akindele! You seem to enjoy dropping such hints and leaving me to take a cue....that the girl-child I had been so naive to assume as my daughter is not really mine! If she were mine de jure, she isn't de facto anyway!
In the light of the foregoing, I hereby accept the fact that Tofunmi is not my daughter.
Accordingly, she would cease forthwith to bear my surname. She is at liberty to assume your maiden name until such time that she gets married....when she may bear her husband's surname!
As for you, the fact that I tore up our marriage certificate over a decade ago was a decision borne out of my firm conviction that our marriage is not real....not out of a fit of anger. Our marriage was conceived in fraud....and nurtured in fraud....and you were determined to sustain the fraud even years into the marriage! You conned me to marry you.
You abandoned all your wifely duties for me to perform...in concert with outside help during a decade of full-time schooling. You continued this neglect even years into practice....long after qualifying as a barrister....when "church duties" replaced "studies", as excuses for abandoning your husband, your kids and your home. So it seems like you were as tired of the marriage as I was! Hints again....surreptitiously dropped so I could take a cue!
Accordingly, you also would cease forthwith to use my surname....until such times as I would be positioned to serve you with the divorce papers! You are of course, at liberty to revert to your maiden name...
Those are my submissions....and demands...which your training in Evidence....and globally, Law....must compel you to deeply consider.....if not totally agree....with the rationales backing them.
Sincerely,
Dr Tosin Akindele
