BBNaija star Josephine Otabor, fondly known as Phyna, recently joined the heated conversation on DNA testing, a topic that has sparked debates across Nigeria.

In the wake of increasing paternity fraud cases, many are questioning if DNA tests should be a standard procedure to confirm paternity at birth.

Adding her voice to the mix, Phyna shared her thoughts on her X handle, aligning with a statement by music executive Don Jazzy, who suggested DNA tests should take priority over traditional naming ceremonies.

In her words, “I support DNA test over naming ceremony. It should be passed that it is compulsory. Immediately after birth, a DNA test should be carried out.”

Phyna’s stance has resonated with many, as people from all corners of social media discuss her call for mandatory DNA tests right after a baby’s birth.

While some agree with Phyna’s approach, hoping it will help families start on a foundation of trust, others feel it might be an unnecessary step that could affect the culture surrounding welcoming a new life into the world.
