The stage is set for Sunday’s discourse in the monthly interview programme, Boiling Point Arena on the increasingly volatile issue of DNA dilemma and paternity controversies tearing apart many families.
The programme which is already eliciting wide public interest holds tomorrow, Sunday, October 12, 2025 over a two-hour duration commencing from 8 p.m.
In Nigeria, there are scaring statistics as a recent report indicated that 25% of men who voluntarily took a paternity test were not biological fathers of their children.
The global online discourse will be transmitted via Zoom and broadcast simultaneously live on six radio stations across Lagos, Ogun and Delta states as well as on NSTV, a cable channel on GoTV.
Two internationally acclaimed Genetic experts, Emeritus Prof Olufunmilayo Adebambo, Nigeria’s first female Professor of Animal Breeding, Genetics and Biotechnology, and Prof Ikhide Imumorin, who is based in San Diego, United States of America, are to lead the discussion.
With an incredibly large online followership and wide listenership base, Boiling Point Arena is hosted by a media professional and public relations strategist, Dr Ayo Arowojolu.
The 36th episode, a special third anniversary edition, is titled: “Genetic Revelations: Unravelling the Conundrum of Paternity Disputes in Modern Families.”

The duo of Prof Adebambo and Prof Imumorin are to offer insightful scientific perspectives on the issue of DNA otherwise called Deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the molecule or hereditary material that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.
Expectedly, the discussants will also raise the bar of narratives on paternity testing and its emotional fallouts on family dynamics as well as how paternity conflicts are redefining marital relationships and tearing families apart in Nigeria.
