A Nigerian man has taken to Facebook to announce his legal change of name.

It is official.

I am now officially, Victor Ruth.

Ruth is my mother's first name and I'm glad to bear her name instead of my father's family name.

All previous documents are still valid.

Thank you, Fam.

What’s your take on it?

Why should we meet him

I don't understand where he's coming from, but for the sake of posterity, it's not funny.

What's the rationale behind this oddity

Maybe his father was never there in his life so it's a thing of choice. I like!

What should I do with this news

Maybe the father never married his mother...him go don go drag property na e dem show am pepper..na e him do u-turn.

I hope he thought through his actions and ready to bear the consequences.

Whatever made him change it to his mother's first name must be 'worth it' to him.

Modified:

He changed his surname to his mother's first name because he is a feminist?

Signs.

It is a pity it flies over his head:

You changed your surname from your father's family name (to fight 'male superiority') to your mother's first name (to establish 'female superiority'). This means you don't want 'equality'; you want to strip men of the 'perceived power' they have and have it to yourself.

Not angry that A is bad; angry that you are not allowed to be bad like A.

Las las, una go dey alright.

I think his father was never relevant in his life

He's one of those male feminists on social media. Just like solomon buchi, He will be alright later.

A child born by an absentee father will choose this type of route.The world is changing....

No matter what happen, it is wrong to bear your mum first name as ur surname.

I guess the dad is an absentee father and to appreciate the mum he chose the name.
