Aisha Yesufu urges men to conduct DNA tests on their children, especially if they have doubts about paternity. She stresses the importance of keeping the results private unless they show the man is not the biological father. Yesufu’s comments sparked online discussions about privacy and family trust.
Aisha Yesufu, a prominent Nigerian activist, has encouraged men to get DNA tests done on their children, especially those with doubts about paternity. She shared her opinion in response to a controversial incident involving a user on X (formerly Twitter) who revealed he had conducted a DNA test on his newborn, only to receive positive results.
In her post, Yesufu emphasized the importance of privacy when it comes to DNA test results, advising that the results should only be made public if they reveal the child is not biologically related to the man. She stressed that men should keep the results to themselves unless it is necessary to disclose the information.
“Yesufu’s message was clear: ‘Every man, especially those who have doubts, should get a DNA test done,’” she wrote. “Unless the DNA result shows that the children are not yours, you should keep your mouth shut!” She also urged against the public sharing of DNA results, asserting that personal matters like paternity should remain private unless required by the situation.
This statement has sparked further discussion online, with many supporting her stance on privacy and the need for DNA tests, while others debate the ethics of paternity testing in relationships. Yesufu's call for privacy in paternity matters has added to ongoing conversations surrounding family dynamics and trust.
