@chude__ stated that the girl’s mother is a Filipino and her dad a Nigerian. It is unclear why her father left shortly after she was born.
He attached a photo showing the first page of the girl’s dad’s international passport and a photo of the Filipino girl. @Chude__ urged netizens to circulate the information. He wrote:
“The first picture is a young girl born by a Phllippinian 🇵ðŸ‡Mom and a Nigerian 🇳🇬 dad.
“The young girl who is now 18 years old is searching for his Dad who left Philippines due to circumstances, shortly after she was born.
“The 2nd picture is the Dad’s passport, His name is Paschal Ogbuagu Nnanna, From Enugu state.

“The resemblance is there.
“Little girl is done with Identity crisis, she wants her dad and affirm her root.
“I hope the man is found.”

“When someone said, “na data we go chop,” it highlighted the importance of having reliable databases in any country, rather than relying on social media.
“The government that issues the passport should be able to track the whereabouts of its citizens. I wish her good luck.”
@vicfema2k5 said:
“If Ogbuagu Pascal was born on December 6, 1987, and his daughter is now 18, it can be inferred that Pascal became a father at the age of 19.
“If Pascal’s passport was issued on January 5, 2010, 13 years ago, the individual who has access to Pascal’s passport data page might be able to assist in determining his whereabouts.”

“Filipinos are very stupid, they want a black seed but won’t let you access to your child at infant so why now?
“Trust me the mother needs help now hence she’s calling for assistance from the father.
“If I’m this man I will take my child and they will never see her ever again.”

Lady searches for dad who ran away
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a lady named Victoria had launched a social media search for her dad, who fled to Sierra Leone during the Biafra war.
According to Victoria, Philip fled Nigeria at 11 with his uncle during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war. She added that her uncle, who became a lecturer at the Fouray Bay College, University of Sierra Leone, returned to Nigeria without her dad.
Victoria revealed her father passed away when she clocked 14 and unfortunately, her mum doesn’t know much about him or his family in Nigeria.
