"I'm Pained Sha": Nigerian Woman Makes Unexpected Discovery Years after Being Told She's 'AS'
- A Nigerian woman was pained after recently finding out something unexpected about her genotype
- Before then, she believed she was 'AS' because tests she conducted at a government hospital years ago showed that result.
- However, her lastborn recently prompted her to do another blood test to confirm her genotype, and she found out she is not 'AS'
Salam Khadijat Yetunde, a Nigerian woman who had thought she was 'AS', was pained after recently finding out her genotype is quite different.
According to her, she had a blood group and genotype test in 2014 with her fiancé, who wanted to propose to her at the time, and the result showed they were both 'AA.'

However, in 2018, Khadijat did another genotype and blood group test at a government hospital in Osogbo, and the result showed she is 'AS'.
After redoing it, she accepted her new 'AS' genotype, only to find out in 2025 that she is 'AA.'
It happened that in June 2025, her lastborn, a medical laboratory science student, made her redo the test. She said she felt pained after the new result about her genotype. She attached a photo of her result.
Her Facebook post read:
"My fiancé was planning to propose in the year 2014, so we decided to have genotype and blood group test done , the result came out and we were both AA.
"2018, myself and Abike Ola-Nike went to a government hospital here in osogbo for genotype and blood group test cos we needed it at NYSC camp , the result came out and boom , I was AS , I told the man to redo it , he did and the result came out as AS , I was shocked . I accepted my fate.
"June 2025, our last born who is a Medical Laboratory Science student called that I should go for the test again , she said why would I be the only AS in the family.
"I summoned courage and decided to have it done again and here is the result. I don’t know why I’m pained sha."

Woman's discovery marvels netizens
Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the lady's post below:
Rotarian Aderibigbe Yetunde Latifat said:
"Please always check your genotype like two to three times especially in osogbo. I can only boast of few laboratories in osogbo with accurate machine and result.
"Secondly, when going for test don't rush the attendant. Let him or her give you time to come back or ask you to seat down."
Robinson Dave said:
"Coming from a bloodbank specialist, unless you had a blood transfusion or a bone marrow transplant, this is definitely a laboratory error. Another scenario is very rare Chimerism. A rare case of hematopoietic chimerism resulting in mixed cell populations. Imagine if you need a transfusion and the wrong unit was given due to laboratory error. I'll sue both the lab and the hospital."
Saka-balogun Abimbola said:
"Same thing actually happened to me . I thought I was AS so I was very careful choosing who to date back in school . Few months to my wedding I decided to redo it again and it came out AA. I had to redo it in 4 different hospitals in 3 different states 😂😂😂. Walahi I b AA ooo . I shaa knw eno go better for d idiot that first gave me AS😂."
Abike Ola-Nike said:
"Subhanallah ! Kindly try another lab pls. Because what’s this? The man was trying to convince us that day that you are As . And he was so sure sef🤣."
Falogbon Olufemi said:
"Sometimes, life takes us on unexpected paths based on certain variables; one of which is the issue of this Genotype. This is not to water down this particular scenario, but imagine that was a DNA result gotten wrong?🤔. One of many reasons to always fact-check, and double-check everything."
Chukwu Dabby Precious said:
"First time I did test, I was AS and B negative and it was my ex that took me there, I told him I can’t be AS because my both parents are AA. I wanted to go do it alone but he wouldn’t believe it so I rest. Today with so many test from different hospitals shows I’m AA/B positive. Lab go whine you but no panic."
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian couple had discovered their real genotype after their traditional wedding.
Lady dumped over her genotype
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady wept after her boyfriend dumped her because they are both 'AS.'
The man had been ignoring the lady after the test result came out, and it became clear they were not going to be a husband and wife.
The lady in question shared the heartbreaking story on TikTok, advising fellow women to undergo a genotype test before starting a serious relationship with any man. In the TikTok post, the lady, Sijuade, shared the message her man had sent her.
