DNA Test More Important Than Naming Ceremony – Don Jazzy
Renowned music producer and Mavin Records founder, Michael Collins Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, has encouraged men to prioritize DNA testing over traditional naming ceremonies to verify paternity. His remarks come amid rising concerns around paternity fraud in Nigeria, sparking debates on the necessity of DNA tests.
In a message posted on his Instagram story, Don Jazzy highlighted his stance by saying, “DNA test is more important than naming ceremony.” His statement has added fuel to an ongoing conversation among Nigerians, with many debating whether DNA testing should become a common practice for new fathers.
Paternity fraud cases in Nigeria have brought the topic into the public eye, with some calling for widespread DNA testing to prevent future complications. Others, however, argue that these tests are unnecessary and that trust should prevail in family relationships.
Don Jazzy’s message serves as a reminder of the growing need to address issues surrounding paternity and family dynamics, suggesting that establishing biological ties may be crucial before formalizing a child’s identity in a naming ceremony.
