A Nigerian man has opened up about a life-altering discovery that cost him a meaningful relationship. He shared how he lost what he referred to as a good woman due to a mistaken belief about his genotype. This revelation came to light on Saturday, September 16, 2023, when the man, identified as Osoyinka, took to the social media platform 'X' to share his personal journey of self-discovery.
For years, Osoyinka had believed that he shared the AS genotype with all of his siblings, based on previous test results. This belief shaped his life decisions, including his romantic choices. However, his world turned upside down when he discovered that he is, in fact, genotype AA, not AS as he had thought.
Osoyinka shared a tweet from 2021 in which he expressed his frustration, saying, "Fvck genotype mehn! That was supposed to be my last bus stop."
In his own words, he shared his journey: "I honestly don’t know how to feel right now. Negligence? Mediocrity? I don’t know, But I’m sure it has nothing to do with mystery. I’ve always thought I was “AS” as all my siblings are. Took a genotype test when I got admission and the result was “AS” as predicted."
"All my life, I’ve shaped my life decisions around that knowledge of myself. Last week I was at the hospital to visit a friend, and a case of mixed up genotypes came up. We all had a long discussion about it, and out of jokes and bants, one of my friends realized he doesn’t know his," he continued.
"So we strolled to the hospital’s laboratory for him to take a test. Out of jokes, I decided to take another test too (Knowing fully well I’m AS). I got the shock when he sent me my test results on Monday, and it says 'AA.' Sure, no way I’m trusting that test result," he added.
"So I decided to take the test again for clarity's sake yesterday. People of God, I just got my test result tonight and here I am staring at 'AA' genotype. I honestly can’t deny that I’m really disappointed right now. Considering the fact that I lost a potential relationship and a good woman because we both thought we aren’t compatible," he concluded.
