A deeply embittered father has been left heartbroken and shattered after finding out that the daughter he has been nurturing, supporting, and raising for years is not biologically his own.
The shocking discovery surfaced in a viral video currently making the rounds on social media, capturing the devastated man’s emotional outburst as he confronted his wife over the painful paternity revelation.
In the clip, the father angrily questioned his wife, demanding to know if she truly believed such a secret would remain hidden forever. With his voice laced with pain and disappointment, he recounted how he had always felt a strange emptiness whenever his daughter called him ‘Daddy,’ suggesting that his instincts had long been unsettled.
The heartbroken man went further to express his frustrations, lamenting that despite being the one who sponsored her education, paid her tuition, and proudly watched her graduate, his loyalty and sacrifices were rewarded with betrayal. “I trained another man’s child with my sweat and blood,” he lamented bitterly.
DNA revelation shakes social media
This heartbreaking episode comes on the heels of a 2025 DNA report released by Smart DNA, which revealed that one in every four Nigerian men who undergo paternity testing are not the biological fathers of the children in question. The report has reignited conversations on the increasing prevalence of paternity fraud across the country.
Mixed reactions from netizens
