9ja women can't leave runs movement
even when dem marry❗️❗️❗️😕😕😕

Tufiakwa for them.

A few years back, there was this story
of a married female banker who was
dating two male coworkers at her office
at the same time.

Out of jealousy, one of them decided to
expose her naked picture on social media.

That type of woman will always stay
behind, forming hardworking staff just
to have her guys shine her Kongo before
going home❗️❗️

Paternity fraud is as bad as or even worse than rape.

Apply some common sense nau. Data is collated across all laboratories that conduct DNA analysis in the country.
you're the one not using common sense... Data is collected yes, I'm saying how many Nigerians have you seen going to the hospital for the sole purpose of conducting a DNA test...it's very rare... I expect the percentage to be higher in developed countries.... It's common sense, you'll need to conduct a national survey in every country before coming up with such an outrageous conclusion

Dude, forget oversabi. There have been publications upon publications. Since you do research, you should know how to search for publications.
This is not new.

I have said for years here on NL that around 35% of firstborns belong to another and at least 25% of all kids belong to another man. Results from studies in 9ja last year said 26.1% of all kids. So current 30% is not surprising.

Are you just seeing this for the first time?

A relative wanted to relocate his kids abroad. Paternity test required by embassy showed all 3 kids were not not his.

I know of many other cases up close. A lab in Lekki was offering discount on paternity test 2 years ago and women were outraged.

There has even been a publication of the 3 regions in Nigeria from which most men come for paternity test. It was here on NL.

More men than you think are codedly doing paternity test. Labs have these figures.

That's why Islam and Christianity proposed Death penalty for Adultery. It's because of the social problems like this it creates. Imagine finding out your child is not yours, u might end up a bit lunatic in ur reasoning or contemplating suicide or having no will/reason to exist.

Dude, 9ja has capacity to do way more than 1 million.

Do you know how many tests have already been done for family reunion required by embassies? I know of several failed paternity tests 25 years ago.
I worked on developing some rapid tests decades back. Looking back, I would have sought funding for rapid paternity test development. It didn't seem that important back then. In any case, officially acceptable tests must be done in certified labs.

Chinese researchers flooded the department as doc candidates and post docs (across Western universities) and no wonder they lead today.
Going back to 9ja, the trend has been long obvious that infidelity is high, use of protection is low and paternity fraud is high. It has been relatively high for decades but even more so now. Tests were prohibitively expensive those days.

Sure, in research, high numbers make the outcome more reliable. But remember, in countries where suspicion is low or no official need to do the test, test uptake is low. Yes, this can skew the result.

You will not get ethics clearance to do paternity tests on 200,000 or 1m kids just for research. You have to do retrospectively based on tests already done. This is were existing labs come in and some have published theirs to enlighten the public. Or to codedly advertise themselves.

What social.problem does it cause
Christianity and Islam are just cultures
There are other cultures that don't care
As long as the woman is married to a man the children are his
At the tribal.level of evolution
Children were a source of Labour and soldiers
So in such circumstances children were an asset and a.man would even marry a pregnant woman
Many people have very little knowledge of history,anthropology and so on
Yes today children are more of a liability to a man but in the past they were farmhands and soldiers . That is how clans were built
Even today there are Nigerian tribes where the men marry pregnant women with full chest
As.long as they pay the bride price the man owns the children
So leave that Christian Islam crap
Pikin na pikin

Oh wow, good. Now let's talk.

Who in America does paternity test? Which demographics do it more? What is their reason?
Yes, lots of those working class (in Western sense) and underclass folks on US TV fighting over paternity, Black and Latino folks feature prominently.
Now, why do people do it in 9ja? The fact that despite fewer people able to afford it in 9ja and actually do it, the rate is that high.

Now imagine doing this test in folks living in face-me-I-slap you in Bariga or Ikotun? grin cheesy

I know that unless something is published by Western researchers, we Africans like to doubt it. I would have disputed it just like you if I had not seen it in real life too.

No researcher in USA can tell you exactly how many tests were done in USA last year. That figure won't be ready. Much less in 9ja.

How does not having exact figure invalidate results published by researchers in 9ja? I don't do my work in 9ja.

You did not have the figures across the places you were comparing before disputing the results for 9ja? shocked shocked

I'll only respond to your last paragraph, even if I see jst one journal or research paper published on perternity fraud conducted by a Nigerian, why I go dey argue since morning... Na d research I dey ask for since, but eno dey, even if e dey then you have to conduct similar or compare your findings with other research done in other countries to come to dis conclusion .... See dis type of stuff ino even need to browse before I know it's false.... It's like saying 30% of Nigerians owned a private jet or its like saying Nigerian aviation sector has launched a rocket to the moon 30 times.... U see how outrageous dis last two statements sounds arbi? You'll need something comprehensive like a National survey to get accurate data and results, then you'll have to compare it with other countries result
