Veteran Nollywood actor, Ugezu J. Ugezu, says taking a child for DNA test is not an African thing, adding that Nigerians should learn a lesson or two from Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart.”
Ugezu, who made the statement in an Instagram post on Monday, emphasised that a child who calls an African man father should be regarded as the African man’s child.
“This DNA thing is not really an African thing. A child born to an African man is the African man’s child.
“Our fathers held this belief and enjoyed peace of mind. This DNA stuff is tearing many homes apart and destroying many innocent children.
“In THINGS FALL APART, the mother Earth rose against Okonkwo for killing the child who called him father. THINK!”
