Under Sanwo-Olu and Wike, Lagos and Abuja Have Improved Their Transport Infrastructure So Dramatically That Even Uber Could No Longer Compete With The Lagos Blue and Red Lines and BRT and the Abuja Metro
Dear Professor @ChidiOdinkalu,
Thank you for your feedback. If you apply for a United States visa along with your family members who are dependent on you, as the President has done in the past, the Embassy of the United States in Nigeria regularly asks for DNA tests from parents. If you're unsure, you can research it with an A.I. tool you trust or contact the Embassy of the United States directly.
This is not limited to the Embassy of the United States. The Canadian and British High Commission and other missions in Nigeria and other countries also use DNA tests for family visa applications.
In the cases of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, their diplomatic missions not only collect DNA evidence, but they also share sensitive data.
This has been the case in Nigeria for over 30 years and is not limited to Nigeria. It is done not only because paternity fraud is high in many countries, including, unfortunately, Nigeria, but it also serves to protect potential victims of human trafficking.
In fact, a popular Afrobeat artist has had to provide DNA tests to the US Embassy for a family-based application.
I have never used drugs, narcotics, or any inebriating substances at any point in my life.
As a professor and former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, I am surprised that you do not know this, as I am aware of cases where individuals who only discovered that they were not the fathers of their children because of an embassy-mandated DNA test petitioned the NHRC for justice.
Also, it would be helpful if you and I could focus on facts rather than emotions and ad hominem attacks; we could provide a better example to younger Nigerians of how to have a sentient, fact-based, and dialectical conversation.
Thanks again, and may God bless you.
