It's Father's day today and he posted something interesting on Twitter.
According to him, I am against DNA testing becoming cheap or easily available in Nigeria. It would destroy too many families. #FathersDay

It's an unspoken fact that many Nigerian women get pregnant for one man and give the children to another, without their knowledge. This would definitely expose so many people but is is good enough to make the service not easily available to Nigerians?
There are many benefits of DNA testing, apart from paternity tests.
