Nigerian Man Says He Would Not Seek DNA Test for Children He Already Loves

A Nigerian man has sparked a debate after saying he would never seek a DNA test for children he already loves and has raised. He recalled an acquaintance who learned that a daughter born during his marriage might not be biologically his. Although the child’s alleged biological father later appeared and demanded custody, the man chose not to take a DNA test. He continued raising the girl and included her in his will. The speaker said he would make the same choice, arguing that confirming paternity could cause more harm than good. He maintained that any child he has loved and raised would remain his child regardless of biology.
