"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."
@flourish007 said:
"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."
