Popular Nigerian media personality Teju Babyface has sparked heated debate after urging men never to confess infidelity to their wives.
His comments, captured in a viral video making rounds on social media, have stirred conversations about honesty, relationships, and the boundaries of forgiveness.
Speaking directly to both men and women but emphasizing men, Teju said:
“You cheat on your wife or your husband, but especially your wife, especially men. If you cheat on your wife, don’t tell her, don’t confess. If you cheat on your spouse, don’t tell them.”
The comedian-turned-talk show host went further to stress the dangers of such admissions, describing it as one of the most damaging moves in a marriage.
“Do not ever do it. It is one of the most catastrophic things you can ever do in your life. Don’t do it,” he warned.
Anticipating pushback, Teju addressed the religious argument often made in favor of confession. .”I know you’ve been told something else all your life. People will even quote the Bible to support the idea of confession. They will say that if we confess and repent, then our sins are forgiven.”
However, he clarified that such counsel is often misapplied in marriage. “Excuse me, that is to God and from God, not to man. It is confession to God, not to man. Do not do it.”
