DNA paternity tests are unraveling a lot of buried family secrets especially here in Nigeria.

Keeping family secrets isn't as easy as it used to be and just one DNA test could change everything for better or for worse.

Why is paternity fraud high? Should Nigerian hospitals conduct compulsory DNA test after childbirth in order to curb this menace?

Paternity (father of a child) tests in Nigeria are usually done for immigration reasons, health reasons or when there is a clear indication or strong suspicion that a female partner or wife has been unfaithful.

Well, let’s consider some incidents caused by lack of DNA test after birth here in Nigeria.
Currently, the controversial banker and Managing Director of First City Monument Bank (FCMB), Adam Nuru, will soon be swimming in the pool of sex scandal rocking the internet.

As the sex story was narrated, it was alleged that the banker was responsible for Tunde Thomas’ marriage breakdown that eventually led to Tunde’s death few days back.
The story as posted on the website read:

“Tunde Thomas died recently like about a week or two from depression. Apparently, kids from his marriage to Moyo Thomas belongs to wife’s boss (Adam Nuru, the current MD of FCMB).

Moyo Thomas left Tunde to go to America with the kids, she told him kids were not his when she got to America. He (Tunde) was later down with stroke but recovered.”

Apparently, Tunde met someone else he was going to remarry but apparently didn’t recover from the first Marriage issues or trauma.
Tunde was just made director for the MFB he works for. Got back from work last week and had a cardiac arrest 2 days before introduction to pregnant new girlfriend, and he later died.

In February 2017 however, a Nigerian man identified as Oscar found out that 32-year-old Valentine wasn't his biological son. Jesu!!!

The clip was from the Jeremy Kyle Show in the United Kingdom which later went viral.
In 2015 also, Mike tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend. Shortly after, they gave birth to a bouncing baby girl.

Mike's marriage could have been a fairy tale, but two years later, through a series of unfortunate events, Mike found out that the child he called his daughter wasn't his. His world crashed in an instant.
To deal with the pain of knowing that the little girl in his house wasn't his, he moved to South Africa.

While Mike found out early on in his marriage, some men, unfortunately, discover that they have raised another man's child much late in their lives, like the case of Oscar mentioned above.

Honestly, paternity fraud is becoming worrisome across the country and this happens when a mother deliberately misidentifies her partner as the biological father of her child.

If you let the internet tell it, paternity fraud is high in Nigeria backed up with unverified stats as well. But what is the way forward?

To continue like this or to find means of tackling it? Personally, I’m of the opinion that Nigerian hospitals should conduct compulsory DNA test after childbirth in order to mitigate the paternity fraud at the early stage.

This, as for me, will definitely go a long way to reduce the level of unfaithfulness among married couples and also reduce to rate of depression among the affected spouse.

Omoh, forget those children look like FCMB children... Lol..

Secondly, you can't make DNA testing compulsory. You are giving Nigerian hospitals another way to make money off Nigerians. Ordinary gloves we still buy for them.

Think that's a nice idea...u think u can trust a woman u somehow get messed up, then u know they're all same...

DNA tests are expensive, very expensive. The only way for it to be effective even to the common man is if the government can purchase the machines in all government hospitals across the country, then subsidize the fee, only then would it work. Meaning once your wife delivers in a government hospital, you would be given DNA test results, blood group, genotype, finger and foot prints... etc. The subsidized DNA fee will be added to the total delivery expenses.

As long as private hospitals are the only ones with the machine, patients will have to pay through their nose to access their DNA status.

HIV test is almost free in government hospitals because the price has been subsidized, even the retroviral drugs are free of charge.

If the government can step in it would be quite easy.

Asking an average man whose salary isn't even up to 100k to pay over 300k for DNA test is way overboard.

Paternity fraud is evil and should be frowned upon.

Everywhere go scatter scatter oh

If DNA test is made to be compulsory at childbirth, most Nigerian marriages will end in hospital delivery rooms.

State of emergency loading...








Meanwhile, a very rare pic of me in the middle of Nigeria DNA saga

I think so. Imagine the birth certificate registered a bastard in your name. I think before registeration, DNA should be conducted so councils will have the right and original info bout the kid.

Nigeria girl ashawo

Why are you people still on this issue? Argh! :I

If at all you make it compulsory, its too expensive. Who can afford it

Nigerian Girls Are Nitwits..All Of Them

if rape perpetrator are beaten mercilesly and jailed and even almost castrated, then women involved in partanity fraud should be beaten mercilessly, jailed and have their vaginas desecrated, paternity fraud is worst than rape
