Famous Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji has addressed the controversy surrounding her son taking up her surname instead of his father’s.
The discussion began when netizens noticed that she referred to her son as Jayce Ikeji in a post, leading to speculation that she had changed his surname to hers.
“Jayce Ikeji and Ryan Kanu take Disney/Marvel Paris. Cousins, best friends, and literally growing up together as brothers. Their love for each other is incredible, and when they can help it, are inseparable! Ryan is literally the best little human ever! They’ve been on a few vacations together in the past, but this is the first one they will remember as they are nearly 6 and 7 now,” she wrote.
She took to her Instagram page to note that she never changed her son’s name because he had always been an Ikeji right from birth.
However, she added that if the boy wants to change it when he grows up, it would be his decision to make.
She wrote …
“Just to be clear. I’ve NEVER ever had to change my sows surname. He’s been an Ikeji right from when he was born! Where do I have the time or patience to be changing name? Changing Or keeping his sumame (Ikeji) will be up to him when of age Food for my junior colleagues”
