Former Big Brother Naija reality show winner Josephina Otabor, widely known as Phyna has openly endorsed the concept of obligatory DNA testing shortly after birth.
This comes after award winning music producer, Don Jazzy set tongues wagging over the weekend when he took to his Instagram story to declare: “DNA test is more important than naming ceremony.”
The music producers comment stirred conversation online about the importance of seeking clarity on a child’s true parentage.
Backing Don Jazzy, Phyna advocated for legislation making DNA testing mandatory before a child’s naming ceremony.
The reality TV star, Phyna expressed her views in a recent post arguing that DNA testing should be routine for all newborns to determine the child’s paternity.
“I support DNA test over naming ceremony. It’s should be passed that it is compulsory. Immediately after birth, a DNA test should be carried out.” She wrote.
Her comment on social media has aroused the interest of both her followers and critics with many giving their thoughts and opinions on the subject matter.
Nigerians have been divided on the issue of DNA tests being necessary or not, given recent cases of paternity fraud.
