A man shared a shocking story about planning to relocate from Germany to Nigeria to marry a woman, only to discover through a DNA test that he was not the biological father of her son—despite having already sent over €14,000 for the child’s upkeep.
One comment on the post read: “That is why I always tell men to channel the money meant for child dedication and naming ceremony to conducting a DNA test, it will save them from a lot of sadness in future.”
While the advice highlights caution, it reflects a transactional and distrustful view of relationships. Instead of addressing communication or mutual accountability, it reduces paternal responsibility to verification of biology, normalizing suspicion over trust. Comments like this can inadvertently fuel fear and cynicism in relationships, suggesting that financial support should always come with prior proof rather than faith in partnership.
