After getting enough DNAs from Africa, they may use it to produce the virus that will be very effective against Africa. Like the way they produce AIDS and Covid-19

Black men and Nigerian men in particular be aware that the writer of this propaganda against DNA testing is a woman. She making serious effort to discourage you testing and determine your kids true father. Don't be fooled women will try these because to them men should not gain control over their lifes.

Check all wars fought women are behind them one way or the other. Look at hijab in secular societies. Black women and white women rivalries, education for women etc
Now they want DNA testing avoidance because of data processing. Women tell lies and lead feeble men to do their fight. Defend your ground, do DNA test at reasonable cost.

You want people to do dna test without thinking about data protection.

Nigerian dna market is unregulated.when you give your dna to companies, they have control over you.


DNA market kwa!!! Are you sure you understand what DNA is? What do you think they need it for? Who is going to buy it? Please do your research for better understanding.

Oga. You are the one with the deficiencies you are talking about. You don’t even have a proper idea of what 54 Gene does and how genomics shape scientific research. The recent demand for DNA test is being fueled by the FCMB saga and not any of the dumb reasons you gave.

You must be naive

The dna company 54 gene is headquartered in the United states, the dna laboratory in Nigeria was set up by a American company, those sponsoring the company are Americans and with support from American pharmaceutical companies

The United states government can get your dna data if they like, law enforcement can send a court order and your dna samples will be given to them.

Set up by an American company? You are saying absolute nonsense. 54-Gene was founded by a Nigerian. Google his profile.

So gullible, i am not even surprised.

They hardly think. Educating them is a waste of time. Many of them have bought the idea that dna testing is only about checking paternity fraud. What a pity

Anyway most of them just use smart phones but aren't smart. Simple things they can research online.


People do pregnancy, HIV, cancer, COVID-19 and all sorts of other tests daily in Nigeria but it is DNA you people are trying to spin useless and dumb conspiracy theories around. Nonsense.

This must be the most unreasonable post we would see in 2021. We might as well not use social media again as we know they sell our details to Marketing companies. Who knows may be Gates foundation would even compensate men for the heart aches some women have subjected them too after the DNA bank details are sold.

Even though it is true that there are paternity frauds in our society, the reality is it is not so much like how social media are publicizing it.

Nigerian dna market is unregulated, dna is your human footprint, your personal data. Dna is not only about testing paternity but it can be use for many things.

I believe there is a plot on Nigerians by some Dna tech companies in Nigeria to raise the discussion about DNA Test in our society because they want to create a DNA bank For Nigerians.

For instance, there is a company called 54gene in lagos that is building an African DNA bank, the company raised almost 15 million dollars from Bill and merinda gates foundation. The company claim that the Greater availability of African genomic data could lead to medical breakthroughs for the African’s 1.2 billion people.

As far back as 2019, the company has almost 60,000 dna samples of Nigerians in their Bank, in addition, the company is based in Washington DC and Nigeria.

How many of you are concerned about your privacy, don't let social media discussions fool you, some of these dna companies might be the ones sponsoring the discussion so that people can go for Dna test, soon they will gather your data and also sell it to the highest bidder in the United states or to law enforcement agencies.

People should know what they spread online, you might be claiming woke, understand that your privacy matters and that anybody who has control over your dna data has control over you.

What do you know about IQ? what do you know about DNA? The person with the highest IQ in the world is working in a restaurant. Do you think psychometric questions designed by some humans can truly determine the extent of a man's capability?

Besides you don't sound so smart. Firstly you don't need paternity DNA to get people's DNA. In fact, since there is no regulation again DNA collection in Nigeria, with just 2000 Naira millions of Nigerians would willingly give their DNA.

The question is how do they have control over you, how? What are the risks involved and what can they do with it? Honestly i would like to know

The risks will educate people more that just saying data protection

Putting me side by side with you, I am not in your league boy ( sorry girl). You just open your mouth and say rubbish. What is the function of IQ test to begin with?

Tell me two major evil things that DNA database has caused in the world and compare such to the good it has done.

Your analysis is shallow, one-sided as you are stupid!

the op and his supporters are just ridiculous. They think dna is hard to obtain. A thousand more easier ways to get dna than using social media to trick people. Dna from hairs in barbing salons, dna from saliva in guise of immunization, dna from primary health centers with funding from USAID, WHO etc. And one dolt here was talking about running to Canada as if that would somehow protect his precious dna.

What a load of crap. So if the company sells your DNA sequence to companies or databases, how does that give them control over you? Mr conspiracy theorist, if they want your DNA, they can get it anytime they like. Anytime you go to a hospital for a malaria test, anytime you go to a barbers shop for a haircut, anytime you touch an object, they can swab and have access to your DNA. We shed skin tissue and bodily fluids everywhere we walk. Heck, they might even be using your covid 19 swab tests for DNA testing. If they wanted it that badly, they could always enforce covid 19 tests in schools and public offices around the country. Shikena. They would never use such an ineffective method as waiting for those who want to test for paternity fraud. How many people do DNA tests for paternity a year? How many centuries will that take the companies to sequence everybody in that case?
God bless you. Common sense is far from the guy.

Dna data are your human footprint also they can be sold to law enforcement and third parties.

Once you give someone your dna, he or she has private information about your medical a d family history, diseases, they can modify and engineer your Genetic, also it can be used to track you.

Giving your dna in an unregulated market like Nigeria is like giving your privacy and freedom out.

You might think dna testing is only about paternity test, it is more than that.
effect of watching too much american movie, modify and engineer my genetic abi, how does this affect me
