A Nigerian man has sparked a debate on social media after sharing his take on paternity fraud. NigerianNews Aggregator
In a video making the rounds on social media, the man declared that he would continue to love and claim any child he raised, even if a DNA test proved the child belonged to his wife’s ex-partner.
During his address, the man recounted a real-life situation involving an acquaintance who discovered that a daughter born during his marriage was not biologically his. According to the speaker, the biological father later surfaced at the family’s home to demand custody of the little girl. To protect his own peace of mind, the acquaintance chose to skip a DNA test entirely. Instead, he chose to love the girl unconditionally and eventually willed a portion of his properties to her.
Inspired by this scenario, the speaker affirmed that if he ever found himself in a similar situation, his love for the child would remain unchanged.
‘’I do not pray for things like this to happen to me \, I am saying it categorically: there is nothing in this world that would make go and conduct a DNA on the kids that I already love. If that child belongs to the other person, so be it but in my mind and till I go to heaven, that child remains my child. Doing that DNA might cause greater damage,” he said
