New NGO, THE MAN, Advocates DNA Testing to Protect Men from Paternity Fraud in Nigeria

A new non-governmental organization known as THE MAN has emerged in Nigeria to address the growing issue of paternity fraud and the emotional impact it has on men. The NGO is focused on raising awareness about the use of DNA testing as a reliable tool to prevent paternity shock and protect men from being misled into lifelong financial and emotional responsibilities under false paternity claims. According to THE MAN, many Nigerian men suffer in silence due to cultural stigma and limited access to DNA testing. The organization aims to change this by promoting early paternity confirmation, offering guidance to affected men, and encouraging open conversations around paternity rights. THE MAN stressed that DNA testing is not meant to destroy families but to promote truth, fairness, and accountability for all parties involved. The NGO plans to roll out awareness campaigns, partnerships with DNA laboratories, and advocacy initiatives across major Nigerian cities in the coming months.
