Newsypeople- Nigerians have reacted strongly to Linda Ikeji’s decision to change her son’s surname from his father’s name to hers.

Many users expressed disappointment and frustration with Linda’s decision, arguing that it was insensitive and morally wrong to change her son’s surname without his father’s consent.

Some users pointed out that the father, Sholaye Jeremi, had never acknowledged or taken responsibility for the child, but this did not justify Linda’s actions.

Others defended Linda, stating that she had the right to decide what was best for her child and that changing the surname was a common practice when the father is not involved in the child’s life.

They also noted that Linda had previously revealed that she and Jeremi were no longer together and that she had been raising their son alone.

The reactions highlight the complex and often contentious issues surrounding child custody, parental responsibility, and the rights of mothers in situations where the father is not involved.

While some users empathized with Linda’s situation, others felt that she should have respected her son’s father’s name and the child’s right to know their biological heritage.

Some users argued that this tradition should be respected, while others believed that it was not necessary for a child to carry their father’s name if the father was not involved in their life.
