In an article that recently resurfaced, originally published two years ago, a DNA expert said three out of 10 Nigerian men are not the biological fathers of their children. The article no doubt caught the attention of many. And though the authenticity of the statement remains in question, it certainly provoked a conversation, and surely, reactions. I am certain a good number of men began to question their paternity, and those who had prior suspicions must have gone ahead to take a paternity test. This information came right after the rumoured durex survey which alleged that Nigerian women are the most unfaithful in the world; the statement seemed to fan a flame. In his interview, the expert made reference to the survey, saying that the sexual recklessness of Nigerian women is the reason for the alarming statistics of paternity fraud in country.

In truth, cases of paternity fraud aren’t common in Nigeria, largely because they are either often settled out of court, or swept under the carpet. In other parts of the world, the United States for example, paternity fraud is a criminal offence, and one of the most rampant cases in court. Reason? Child support; women seize opportunities to receive a higher child support award than the biological father of the child can provide. This issue is such a big deal in the West; there are activists and movements against it. In a country like Nigeria, as is with most West African countries, fathers cater for children born prior wedlock, or out of extramarital affairs, without the involvement of the court. So, legal cases of paternity fraud are not common.

Wondering why this isn't on FP... Men need to know

"Nigerian women are the most unfaithful in the world" makes me wonder if they cheat with themselves, lol

Conduct test to know if they are your kids and loose the trust you and your wife had in the process,

if you have no reason to suspect your wife dont try it, dont cause unnecessary strain in your marriage

This is alarming....

there are many issue like that in Nigeria and is heartbreaking. A friend of mine told me how woman did secret paternity test in the hospital he was doing his internship and the test revealed that only 2 out of 5 Children were the real biological children of the husband.
