A Nigerian lady has ignited widespread debate on social media after revealing her reaction to a request for a kidney transplant test involving her estranged father.
The lady, known on X (formerly Twitter) as @thekingdaughtta, disclosed that her father left her when she was just five years old to start a new family, cutting ties with her in the process.
In a post that has since gone viral, she recounted growing up with the pain of abandonment, learning to cope on her own, and eventually building her life without any involvement from him.
According to her, she was recently contacted by her father’s wife, who explained that he needs a kidney transplant and suggested that she could be a possible donor match.
She added that members of her father’s family have allegedly been pressuring her after discovering they are not compatible donors themselves. The messages, she said, accuse her of being selfish and lacking compassion.
The lady also revealed that her mother advised her to think carefully about her decision, expressing concern that she might struggle with guilt if her father does not survive. However, the X user maintained that she does not feel guilty about her stance.

My dad abandoned me and my mum when I was five. He left to start a new family and had little to no contact with me growing up. He never asked of me nor paid any bills. I struggled with feelings of abandonment for many years, but I eventually moved on and built a life without him.
Recently, I got a call from his wife telling me my father is very sick and needs a kidney transplant. She told me that I might be the best match and begged me to get tested.
Apparently his own family are not compatible. I told her NO, I don’t owe him anything after the way he treated me. He made his choices when he abandoned I and my mom, and I feel no obligation to put myself through a major surgery for someone who is essentially a stranger to me.
Since then I’ve been bombarded with messages from his side of his family, calling me selfish and heartless. They said I’m letting him die out of spite and that I need to be the bigger person.
Even my mom think I should consider it, not for him, but to avoid carrying guilt if he passes away. I don’t feel guilty, I feel he is reaping what he sowed, but part me wonders if I’m being too harsh.
Being contacted at 28 to give an absent father my kidney isn’t what I bargained for. Should I reconsider?.
