A Nigerian woman has sparked a heated debate online after calling for DNA testing to be banned, arguing that the practice can create distrust and ultimately destroy marriages.
The woman’s comment, shared in response to a Vanguard News report, quickly attracted reactions from social media users, with many strongly disagreeing with her position.
Some commenters argued that DNA testing should instead be encouraged as a way of establishing biological paternity and preventing uncertainty within families.
One user said DNA testing would be part of his agenda if he ever became a politician, while another argued that the test should be compulsory, likening it to the importance of the Bank Verification Number (BVN) and National Identification Number (NIN).
Another commenter wrote that “DNA test is better than child dedication,” while others suggested that anyone who has nothing to hide should not be afraid of undergoing a paternity test.
The debate also drew comments linking DNA testing to infidelity, with one user arguing that the test itself is not the problem but rather the unfaithfulness that may be uncovered through it.
The discussion highlights the growing controversy surrounding paternity testing in Nigeria, where questions about biological parentage can have serious emotional and family consequences.
