Nigerian Woman Initiates Campaign To Ban DNA Tests After Neighbor Enters Paternity Shock
A stirring call for action has emerged on social media as a Nigerian woman, identified as @BeniNitq on Twitter, shared a troubling account of a neighbor’s harrowing discovery after conducting a DNA test on his two grown daughters.
In a series of tweets, @BeniNitq recounted how the father, whose identity remains undisclosed, was left reeling with shock and disbelief upon learning that the daughters he had lovingly raised and supported through university were not biologically his own.
The revelation reportedly left the man on the brink of a mental breakdown, underscoring the profound emotional turmoil triggered by such life-altering revelations.

Instead, @Nnekanwa1 advocated for maintaining the status quo of blissful ignorance, urging fathers to prioritize familial harmony over uncovering inconvenient truths.

@magee_e15 said: “When we say married women cheat pass single ladies y’all will be arguing, because what exactly are you looking for outside? And pining another man’s child on another is one of the most inhumane thing you can ever do . Why not abort the child?”
@unicalstudents opined: “I think men should do DNA tests weeks after birth, whether there is trust or not. But if you leave it for years, just leave it.”
@bloomyb_ added: “A woman that can knowingly give u another man’s child (ren) can k!!l you. It’s not only about the paternity fraud, it’s even the emotional and psychological damage… the everlasting tr@uma”
@sandie_bgfl said: “If you ask me I think government should make it very affordable and mandatory at the point of birth for every child. Some times it’s even the hospitals fault, early DNA testing will help rectify where the error is from. Not after you’ve trained a child to university level you’ll now do the test and find out they are not yours.”
