A Nigerian father explains why he cannot abandon any of his children if a DNA test confirms that he or she is not his biological kid.
Takema Akom Smith, a Facebook user, explained his reasoning.
He stated that he would not be driven to chase away any of his children if a medical test revealed that his wife committed paternity fraud.
The rationale, he claims, is that a father-child tie would have already existed between them prior to such discovery.
Takema Akom Smith stated that he would not want to lose such a strong father-child relationship as a result of the DNA test.
The man said:
“I cannot drive any of my children to go because DNA shows he or she is not my biological child, the bond between father and child has been established and I can’t let it lose.”

@Tersoo Akula said: “You are a good man. I have always said fathering a child is more than a blood relationship.”
@Shimadoo Ozo-Umeh said: “It’s not about the children. It’s not about rejecting the children. The pain lies more in the betrayal and deceit.”
@Ayati Orlu-Bem Ayati said: “That doubt will always be prevalent in your mind, no matter how you humanly try to dispel it. In my opinion, the safest course of action would be to not go for a DNA test in the first place.”
