Nigerian media personality and actress, Tomama, popularly known as Dat Warri Girl, has shared a startling family history that has sparked reactions online, including from actor and TV host Uti Nwachukwu.
The Quest for a Male Heir
Tomama narrated that her mother was abandoned by her first husband because she gave birth only to daughters. Determined to have a son, the man proceeded to marry again. However, his second wife also bore him girls.
This pattern continued through multiple marriages. The man married a total of seven times, with each union producing daughters, until his seventh wife finally gave him the long-awaited son.
A Shocking DNA Revelation
The story, however, took a dramatic and ironic twist. According to Tomama, the son recently attempted to travel abroad, which necessitated a DNA test. The test results revealed that the boy was not the biological child of his father.
Tomama expressed amusement at the plight of her mother's ex-husband, noting that her mother remarried and went on to have three sons in her subsequent marriage.
Uti Nwachukwu's Scientific and Social Commentary
Reacting to the story, actor and media personality Uti Nwachukwu used the opportunity to educate the public on fertility science. He pointed out that many men are quick to blame women for issues that may originate from them.
"Plenty men no know say the things wey dem de blame women for na dem be the cause," Uti wrote. He emphasized that modern science has shown that the survival of a fetus often depends on the quality of the man's sperm, not just the woman's age, womb, or ovaries.
He also connected this to chromosome issues and other congenital conditions. Furthermore, Uti strongly criticized the outdated preference for one gender over another, stating that anyone who prioritizes one gender "no deserve the gift of experiencing peace in their mistreatment of others."
The story was originally shared on the popular blog, Linda Ikeji's platform, on December 27, 2025. It serves as a talking point on deep-seated cultural preferences for male children and the evolving understanding of human biology and gender equality in modern Nigerian society.
