dustmalik:
I saw the Twitter thread about a week ago. He stated that he never signed the birth certificate of the child, which would have gotten him entrapped.
He doesn't need to sign the certificate.
If they are legally married, he is legally the father.
This principle was inherited from the very old common law.

There is no way out unless he is jobless or very poor and remains so forever,
else, he will pay until the child is 18.

If they weren't married, he would have to fight to get his rename
removed, because the law recognizes as father whoever the mother
registers as the father, even if he wasn't aware she was pregnant.

Government should make DNA compulsory for all the new born baby. Women would think twice before sleeping with another man.
Michelle55:
This hits differently, can't imagine the pains he's going through. To avoid all these unexpected headaches, they should make DNA test compulsory once a child is birthed so everyone knows their stands. It would be unfair to train someone's else child under the guise of parenthood, it's best he does so willingly than being lied to.
Are you going to fund the tests that will now run into billions of Naira per year?
Or you want another DNA subsidy from the government?

Even if the government can afford, can you rationally defend spending the money on
such instead of other meaningful and impactful programs?

No fraud committed. He never signed the BC. He knew it was a possibility

DNA or no DNA he is hooked for the next 18 years if he lives in certain states.
Children born within marriage belong to the father regardless according to some laws.
May somewhere else in the world. Here isn Nigeria it is practically not so because THERE IS NO LAW MENT TO JAIL A WOMAN WHO ENGAGE IN PATERNITY FRAUD.

The capitalized part has nothing to do with what I stated.
Paternity fraud, even when it exists in written law, is never enforced unless
it was done in conjunction with other serious crimes.

Now, to the issue of Nigeria.
Even though Nigeria does not enforce child support.

Any child born within marriage legally belong to the father.
So, no man can come from anywhere to legally claim a child even with DNA evidence
as that constitute degrading the sanctity of marriage.

Also, note that a DNA test is only valid when ordered by the court and that requires
the consent of both parents if they are married.

A DNA-negative child may still enjoy the father's inheritance as long as they are
born within marriage.

A young man’s joy was turned upside down when he found out that the beautiful baby he had welcomed with his wife a few months prior was not his.

The man had taken to his social media page on July 2024, to celebrate the arrival of his newborn, completely unaware that he had become a victim of paternity fraud. In his first post he wrote;

“Best moment of my life captured at the perfect time,”

His post announcing his child was met with kind words and messages of congratulations on this happy addition to his life. Unfortunately, that happy moment has now been turned into one of sorrow, and his well-wishers are now consoling him.

He revealed the ad news in a follow-up post he made to the initial announcement, he also confirmed that a DNA test had been carried out which revealed the child wasn’t his.

She ain’t mine. Ball up top 🚶🏾,”

The update was met with messages from the various people who had initially congratulated him, now consoling him and offering up their support.
I SHALL KEEP ADVOCATING FOR THREE MANDATORY DNA TESTS. THE FIRST AND SECOND SHOULD BE MADE A REGULATION OR CODE OF PRACTICE FOR ALL MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS AND PROFESSIONALS HANDLING BIRTHS AND DELIVERIES:


1. DNA SAMPLES COLLECTED IMMEDIATELY THE CHILD IS BORN AND TESTED. FATHER AND MOTHER WOULD HAVE DONATES SAMPLES

2. ANOTHER TEST ON THE DAY THAT THE CHILD LEAVES THE HOSPITAL


3. CONFIRMATORY PEACE OF MIND TEST NOT MORE THAN ONE WEEK AFTER THE CHILD LEAVES THE HOSPITAL THAT MUST ME CONDUCTED AT A SEPARATE INSTITUTION IN WHICH THE CHILD WAS BORN!

Is he actually lucky or unfortunate?
He is lucky to find out on time, rather than raising the child for many years and later finding out... Just imagine that

Women oooooo.

I have a situation where a lady had a little quarrel with his main guy just for 2 weeks she switched to another guy.
Along that few weeks she became pregnant . Since the other guy is a fling she just told her main guy she was pregnant. Main guy friends know fling guy. To cut the story short babe don born baby girl. Main guy took care of the lady till she gave birth. Babe is so greedy she inform fling about their last deed . Fling gave some cash to the babe . Fling want baby because baby look more like him than the main dude.
Dizzyyish:
More lucky he didn't raise the child to adulthood; decades of emotional and financial investment would have been compressed into one incredibly painful and despairing moment when he found out.

Even that's lucky compared to the ones who never find out. They just die and have someone else's child and babymama inherit their properties.

It's only a woman DNA that can tell who truly owns her pregnancy... You might be happy you are truly the father while your wife knows you are just a stepdad to the child
Corrected

sad

Nature should have been kind enough to make it three major biological gender, if it was so, Most men would have ignored the female gender altogether for the other one

Since i started the count, its been 5667days now and Im still looking for one strong reason why i should have a female child
Omo this one is strong😕

Ladies, now tell me why many more men wouldn't opt for baby mamas. Cos to have a wife is like writing a suicide note.
That's why so many children are in the streets too many baby mamas best thing to do is not to have a child at all

So baby mamas are immune to paternity fraud huh
There is DNA to decide. If not mine, it is easier to part ways than when compared to having a wife which destabilises the man's mental health.

Accept it or not, many men will opt for baby mamaism in coming years.
