Man devastated finding out his children not biologically his, after 51 years of marriage
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
A man has expressed his devastation in a video posted on social media when he accidentally discovered after 51 years of marriage his two sons, one aged 42 and the other 40, are not biologically his.
He said he never suspected his wife of infidelity, and did not make the discovery through an intentional DNA test, which makes it more difficult for him to process the fraud dumped on him all these years.
UNILAD reportsthe man, whose name hasn’t been shared, explained the ordeal in a video doing the rounds on social media.
He explained in his video that he has two sons with his wife of over five decades – one aged 40, and the eldest 42.
Having always presumed that they were biologically his, the man didn’t think twice about checking – but learned of his wife’s previous infidelities by chance.
When the man and his sons were all being tested to see if they were eligible to donate a kidney to his brother, he discovered that his boys weren’t biologically his.
“[We] needed to take a test to see if anyone of us had a kidney that was good enough for my brother,” he said.
“Found out something interesting. They ain’t my kids. They’re somebody else’s. Of course, the only good thing is I know that it’s not my fault that those two idiots got dumped into this world.”
Adding further insult to injury, apparently the two boys have different fathers as the man’s wife was “bopping a couple of different guys”.
He expressed his intention to go home and draft up divorce papers to file against his wife, saying he’d only stayed with the “crazy b*tch” for the sake of the children and grandchildren.

Reactions from viewers
The clip has since sparked a lot of conversation online about paternity tests being compulsory or not.
Someone suggested: “Paternity test should be standard protocol at all births. People need to know who their parents really are.”
“Mandatory paternity should be a law,” echoed another.
Others expressed sympathy for him, with one saying: “This is some serious pain. I wish him well.”
A different person penned: “My God! I feel so sorry for [him]. He was crying on the inside, so sad. I wish him well.”

Growing number of paternity frauds
This case adds to the growing number of paternity frauds in recent years.
In 2021, High Court Judge Anthony Okorodas found out his three kids weren’t his following a DNA test.
He’d split form his ex-wife 11 years prior, but received a tip in 2020 suggesting that his three children weren’t biologically his.
Okorodas’ ex had admitted that their youngest child was not his following the tip-off, but he still wanted to do testing on their two other children.
This went on to prove that they weren’t his either.
