A DNA test has left a Nigerian man in shock after he realized not even one of his four children he had fathered were actually his own. Now, this shocking revelation gets him to have second thoughts on his life as a family man.
The man, in a post on Facebook narrated by a storyteller called Lucky Udu, said he had been married to his wife for 16 happy years. According to him, they met in 2005 and by February 2007, she became pregnant with their first child. Embracing fatherhood, he said he took responsibility for the said pregnancy, and the couple was joined in marriage that September. And over time has had four more children.
Everything was going well until 2020, when some turbulent times came into their marriage, and the man migrated from the home. He later came back to live with his wife and children. However, in 2021, his wife surprisingly left the house one day and took all the children with her, whereas the man did not experience any major conflict with her at that time.
In 2023, the man decided to file custody of the children since his wife had started living her life away. At that point he decided to turn the children for a DNA test to avoid any problems in the legal process. The test results shook him upside down–all the 4 children were not his blood.
The man narrated that when he heard the news, it overwhelmed him and knocked him unconscious for seven days. The man was evidently shattered by this revelation and started brooding on taking a legal course against his wife. He further asserted that he would involve the government in this matter, which should assume the responsibility of looking after these children since he felt absolutely cheated and shattered over this disclosure.
The story has since gone viral as so many people empathized with the helpless condition of the man. His case brought into light the emotional and personal consequences of finding out paternity discrepancies in the family, and raised many questions about trusts and bonds built over years.
