The comment, “DNA tests should be made compulsory in Nigeria,” reflects growing mistrust in relationships and parenthood. While paternity fraud is a serious issue, mandating DNA tests for all births could erode the foundation of trust between partners and families. This approach implies that dishonesty is widespread, which would create unnecessary suspicion and strain on relationships.

Rather than making DNA tests compulsory, it’s more important to focus on fostering trust and communication in relationships. Testing should be a personal decision in cases of doubt, not a societal norm. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, understanding, and open dialogue—values that go beyond genetic validation. Mandating DNA tests would do more harm than good in maintaining the delicate balance of family life.
