Pegasus Reporters Issues on the Wing
“We don’t want to hurt our dad, so we’ve kept this from him but it breaks our hearts, especially mine to see that that man went through thick and thin to get us to where we are today. I saw him struggle so much when I was growing up. I keep wondering why my mom would do such a thing to him cuz he’s a good man”

PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | MARCH 22, 2025
My name is Chidinma and I have just moved to Lagos from Awka for greener pastures where I hope to find my joy in matrimony. I have decided to find my Odogwu in Lagos and be wholly faithful to him because I’m a true Christian and also well-educated with a Master’s degree from a top-notch university in the UK.
My father worked with the Nigerian Customs Service and we had to live in many cities in Nigeria before his retirement while my mom was a housewife with a side business.
My siblings and I decided to jokingly take a DNA test on ourselves to see if we were our father’s children. This didn’t come as a serious topic, we just decided to do it. We are four in number, two men and two ladies. I’m the oldest (31 years old) and the youngest of us is 23 years old.
Our father turned exactly 60 in February this year and our mom is 57 years old. We didn’t take the DNA test because we suspected anything, we were just doing it for fun. Unfortunately, the results that came showed that apart from our last born (the girl that’s 23), none of us belongs to our father. We did the test again in another facility and had the same result.
This isn’t the time to break our father’s heart and destroy our family so we decided to keep the results to ourselves and pretend we all are our father’s. But we confronted our mother and she said we shouldn’t tell our father. She also said the man who’s our father is dead, he was the man she was seeing before meeting our father. She cried and begged us not to tell our dad anything.
We don’t want to hurt our dad, so we’ve kept this from him but it breaks our hearts, especially mine to see that that man went through thick and thin to get us to where we are today. I saw him struggle so much when I was growing up. I keep wondering why my mom would do such a thing to him cuz he’s a good man
Though we are keeping this from him, I’ve just been thinking so much. I don’t know what to do. He loves us. He gave up his life and joy for us. I’ve just been crying on his behalf, and I don’t know but I just suddenly hate our mother!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
