Elxandre:

I agree 100%!

The question is daft!

However, no one knows everything.

Classic contradiction in terms if there ever was one!

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't change however, the woman may use her husband's state of origin when she needs to.

HungerBAD:
The Husband's.

When you get married,every thing changes to your husbands.

But,some people use their State of Origin for things that might be beneficial to them i.e Jobs and Contracts.

Especially if those things are Zoned to her Original State of Origin.

I don't know how they do it now,but when we did JAMB to get into the University.

Those from the North were given admissions with low Marks,so a woman who is a Northerner but married elsewhere,can use her State for the Admission purpose.

There are some people on your case

I hope you get cured in whatever you worship's name

Ishilove:

I don't know why you are bothering to reply. Some people are childish and they don't think deeply enough, hence they wave the multi-coloured banner of their ignorance with unrepentant pride.

Your question is a very valid one and anyone who says it is daft need to reevaluate their education

Hear ye! Hear ye!!

Ioannes:


lol. how can you fill in "Mrs" with your maiden name when you didn't marry your dad. instead opt for a compound name if you are emotionally attached to your maiden name. i.e, your maiden name followed by a hyphen and then your husband's name.

too much wahala if you ask me.

Why should you be using Mrs sef

prissyluv:
Some of these things are confusing ooo. I dont see this topic as daft at all. We dont really know it all.
Another that confuse me is this. If a married woman hasn't change her name legally and applying for a job or filling an important form where there are provisions of title,surname and names.is she to fill in 'mrs' as title while filling the rest with her former names?

why would you use Mrs With your maiden name?

Kachisbarbie:

alright Sir.
Endeavour to drive your points home constructively. Obviously there are people here who feel it should change to the husband's. The aim of this thread is to educate us all properly, but no...some people here think they are smart and every other person with wrong view(s) is a daft being.

Don't mind cute Hector

Exactly the way it is.
Ur husband will even get you an LGA identification certificate to this effect.

are you folks referring to people like mercy aigbe, mercy johnson, etc, who can respectively claim Osun state and Edo state by virtue of their marriage to indigenes of these states?

just want some clarification here.

lara oshiomole, etc.

Omotola, Edo state instead of Lagos?

It is state of ORIGIN not state of husband! as in, where did you originate from?
One's state of origin can never change even after marriage.

Godmother:


As far as I know the only things that change after marriage are your last name and your place of abode. Your state of origin remains what it was before you got married.

Thank you ma'am. God bless you. I actually wonder how one's ORIGIN will suddenly change after marriage? How? it is state of ORIGIN!

In my home, I am the only one from Ekiti while my husband and the kids are from Kwara..QED!

Seun:
Here's a more serious question: what's a woman's birthday and gender after marriage? A wife should adopt her husband's birthday and gender.

O su mi o .
thanks for that sarcastic twist ....very apt.

Cutehector:
boss please tell dem


very funny op. I was like, wat kind of topic is this.

my dear, it is not funny at all o...a lot of women are actually making that mistake and even argue in favour of it. u go tire.

I always do my own to educate them.

See all if them fanzing seun. If nah another person talk am now una go attack am. Stop riding Seun's coatail and state your own opinion jare!

Seun:

Abi o. Funny but just to show how a woman seems to no longer have an identity after marriage.
This is not to the OP - I know he asked an honest question.
Just a general remark.

What's the world turning women into? Change the state of origin to kini? Hian.

I wonder why folks like getting themselves into tight situations of their own making.

maxti:

You mean you begin to [b]originate[/] from another town/LGA because you got married?

On a serious note this issue can only be raised in a third world country, where the literacy rate is questionable.

You people saying state of origin changes are so funny. Do you even know what origin means?

Hello there....I'll rather you do not quote me if u av nothing noble to say! I'm a respectable lady in my late thirties and I have my reservations for derogatory remarks online or in person.

my 4 posts on this thread btwn 1120 and 1134am shows clearly my opinion and mentions of 3 people whose opinions i share! what has that got to do with 'fanzing' Seun

pls ehn, kindly keep to your lane.

Stop trying to fight all opposing views and make yourself appear bright. You sound rather daft... Same for your work colleagues who set you on this path and made you open such a dull and laughable thread!

Kachisbarbie:
[i]This argument has been on between my colleagues and I, some of us insist a woman maintains her maiden state of origin (officially) after marriage, others say she changes to her marital state of origin .

To the Mrs in the house, which state of origin do you put on official forms (e.g) bank documents, travelling, sim registration...etc.?

yes I think a woman should change her state of Orijin to 1.
Cos I think Orijin is 5% acholic. Married women should nt take more than 1 orijin

tpiar:


why did I know somebody will always mention Ondo here?

How is that an issue?

Cutehector:
Mrs intellectuality.. your topic is daft! And I will say it again and again and again.

Don't u understand what origin means? Your root? Your father's state. Jeez. I see no reason why very obvious things like these shoud cause a debate.

My dear the topic isn't daft at all cos it has actually cause arguement too at my place of work tho I maintained that the only thing that should change is ur surname and where u live. State of origin is where u originated 4rm but if u choose ur hubby's then that one is state of origin by marriage.

NO LAW REQUIRES U ,upon marriage to change your state of origin cus most women will have to remarry and u cant continue to have as many state of origins as you change husbands.with the kind of men out now,wise women better prepares to change husbands to avoid premature death.

Just like the name implies State of "origin".
Origin means roots. That a woman is now married does not mean that she looses her roots. Yes she can claim her husband's state and the benefits that come from the state, but she still has her own roots.

Kachisbarbie:

lols.
Truetalk at sanity. I almost ran mad yesterday trying to defend my own stand, they kept putting it to me that I am from Imo, I refused. _ that I am only Imo by marriage.
At a point I began to doubt my own stand sef, I decided to throw the question to the house, not because I am daft or consider those who reason that way daft. I just wanted to be sure I am not the one making a mistake. You have said it all @ they should all do what suits them, I guess that's what I will start telling them.

Please what company is that?
Very daft set of colleagues.
Those are the kinds of people that do not know what a maiden name is.

good, u even have your answer in ur comment.

Ur state of origin does not change. The emphasis origin means where u actually originated from irrespective of move, marriage, etc. Thats why it says origin. The question "whats ur state of origin?" is similar to asking "whats your maiden name?" just as it is expected that ur maiden name is ur name before getting married, anyone or any form asking for ur state of origin expects the state where u are originally from b4 marriage.

repogirl:
I maintained mine.

I really don't see how because I am married, I now automatically originate from my husbands state. Abi did my father disown me when I married my husband?

Abi o.

State of origin is thrash...to me ooo, state of origin should be where ever you were born (at least that's ur origin on earth). Anyway, back to d matter, she should retain her origin. Mrs so-so-so is okay to signify marriage. All the other adopted characteristics are over sabi. So an igbo woman who married an osun man should now claim osun state as state of origin? Or oyibo woman who married naija owerri man should now adopt owerri as state of origin?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww wat is dis? my state of orijin is 10 bottles
