Hi. New here but have read threads for years til now and I just have a simple question to ask . Ok, I know how dim I sound but I married my Nigerian husband 8 years ago. Next week, we apply for his permanent leave to remain here. We've been happy enough since we got married, the usual ups and downs but nothing too serious. Anyway, I found that he has a website advertising a business in Nigeria. Asked him about it and he says yes its his but its not up and running yet (like thats why I was mad at him rather than because he set ghis up without even telling me). I was looking at some photos on his site and I came across a poster laying out the days events for his fathers funeral. At the foot of the poster it says 'by [his name but different surname] on behalf of the family. Now, this new surname is the same as his fathers so I believe it to be his true name. Asked him about it and he says that his surname is different to the rest of his family because he chose to take his paternal grandfathers name. I assume his father should also bear the grandfathers name? He just keeps telling me that I don't understand Nigerian customs/traditions but now the word 'scammed' keeps popping into my head. A simple yes or no would be enough - is it usual for a man to NOT take his fathers name? Thanks in advance.

Nothing to worry about.

I come from a family of 6 men, half of us uses our father's name as our surname, the other half uses our paternal grandfather's name as their surname. Half of us let their children use their own name as surname while half us let our children use our father's (their grandfather's) name as their surname - hope you get it?

He may have just used the surname that people will recognize him by for the burial poster.

Update: I can't believe the extent potorpotorians lost their minds over this tongue-in-cheek joke.

For those of you who get it - more power to you.

For those who are triggered by this - Anu ofia ka gi nma. Not only that Nkita la’cha ike gi

Some people whose Igbo name is NduBuisi often chose the shortened form - Bisi

You just blew my mind!
Great designs... You will be hearing from me before the year ends.

In the early 90's - I sold zobo, kunu and meatpie. Went on to do sales rep (actually hawking) hair products from saloon to shops. Graduated into being one of the pioneer sellers of Chinco phones in Nigeria - I was into a lot of trouble this period as the phones would always break down within the week it was sold. Then I started to supply to sellers. I grew bigger and better in the business. I managed a big hotel (during NYSC). All the past experiences helped me build a multi business front today that is flourishing despite the economic downturn in the country.

THIS GUYS ARE PURE ANIMALS..... VERY USELESS PEOPLE......

THIS SHITS HAPPENS IN THE WEST MOST....*NOTE, THIS IS NOT A TRIBAL ISH*

I HARDLY HEAR THIS GUYS DISTURB HERE IN 042.

Not just in the west.... In Port Harcourt too; I drove an SUV to a turning once, blocked by some bus trying to pick passengers, I horned for the bus to clear way, the next thing I saw - some men with guns and cutlass asking me to wind down but I was confused so I refused, the next thing; they attempted to break my windscreen and to puncture my tire... I'm as fearless as anybody, I got infuriated and wined down. After some screaming at them, cutlass and gun-butt flew in from all angle to attack me. My saving grace was another oncoming bus filled with military men. Not until after their (the military men)'s intervention, that I realized the men that looked and acted like armed bandits and kidnappers were actually SARS.

If you haven't had a running with them, you'd never understand how unprofessional they are.

I still can't figure out what my offense was till date.

Oh and to add; NO I'm not a yahoo boy/man, NO I'm not that young and don't dress like a Facebook age boy/man and NO I don't do illegal business either, so I still don't know my offense. I was blocked by the bus trying to pick passengers and no car was at my back.

I NEVER EVER make/write comments here but after seeing this I just had to... YOU ARE A LOST SOUL my dear. And NO, you're not as much a Christian than I'm. Go deliver yourself.

Many thanks sir.
I will intensify my prayers going forward.
