Okay

The system fails them and everyone.
In a saner clime the social security number is what matters, you can change name as many times as you want. Let's see with the NIN of a thing...

BluntCrazeMan:
The Argument In This Write-up Is Very Valid.
So Please, Stop Blaming The Ladies.
They Are Willing, But The Process Is Stressful.
..
Blame The Crippled System.!!

I am currently facing this problem right now... I have done the affidavit, I have done the news paper publication, I went to nin to do my registration and nin is saying that the bank has to change my name first on my bvn before I use that name unless I use my maiden name. And the bank is saying get the new name from the nin then we change it. Just imagine the fix I am in

Example:- Regina Daniel instead of
Ragina Ned Nwoko

Aside the system update issues they have no respect for men like our mothers respected our fathers then

Ladies of nowadays think they are so equal to men..Bunch of scally wags

Applicable to some ladies though, some others don't change it cos they are still hustlers and don't need "bad market".

This country is a mess

Islam

A Typical Average Nigerian Person doesn't like Stress..

Every Nigerian woman's middle name is "Stress"

Changing surname shouldn't be a problem. But adding the husband's name should be the topic. From Islamic perspective, women don't change their surname rather they add their husband name to theirs. When a lady change surname, it means the husband is her father which isn't. You can address her as Mrs so so( husband name). Idea of changing surname is not the best.

Cutehector:
This shouldnt make one to relax in changing their names.

Didn't you just read the write - up? In a fully functional digital system, once you decide to change your name, it should reflect on all your documents, BVN, NIN, everything!
Wheh you get married, I hope you're willing to help your wife with the tedious process financially and otherwise. Afterall na your name she wan carry

I guess you are still a child, wait until you are married.

Bcux ......

That lady is not retiring any time soon. Even running the show with art work

In Summary:
What I am trying to say is that the Nigerian system itself is making the process of Name-Changing very very difficult highly stressful, even for people who are very willing to change their own names due to some crucial important reasons.

This can be easily be done with court order

WHICH LADIES?

OK, MAY BE SIMPs' LADIES

We should blame the government

It is easier because you are connected

So they can still 4uck around.

That is why the remove their wedding rings when they leave the house

thebosstrevor1:
It is because most of the men they are married to are average or poor men.

I haven't seen a woman married to an influential family complaining about the stress of change of name.

I swear....

I learnt it's in some cultures not to change surname to that of the husband..

Might be an ego thing but I can't tolerate that.

As you rightly said, you never see women complaining about changing surnames for Dangote...Buhari

No matter what u still need to change and u can add d former surname as third.......... Once u are out from your family to others family change come ..........

Why not run the Stress for her on her behalf??
She is willing to change her surname.
So, help her to overcome the stress involved, and have her surname changed to yours.

That's why their family people still have legality over them and can recall them at anytime to their father's house because they still bear their father's name instead of their husband's name.

This is the time that real feminist can show their feminism. Effect the change, do a app that can make all this possible, meet with those in charge ( government) not channel your to hating men

Brownpeanut:
It's a very hectic process.

How about the hectic processes involved in marrying a lady in Nigeria? Have we considered that one too?

Klass99:


Get away visa had me lol. Nice one!



Nah, majority of Nigerians actually believe stress and stressful situations is how we become strong o!

I will never forget a Twitter thread where people blasted a guy left right and center, for turning down a job offer of 150k because of the insane distance between the place of work and his place of abode.

I can't recall the exact locations but let me give an illustration. It was something like after Iyana-Ipaja (mainland) and Lakowe (Island). People called the guy lazy and all sorts of names.

Only a few of us were sane/reasonable enough to understand the guy's decision to decline that offer. People saw 150k and went crazy, some of us saw the toll, wear and tear such a job will have on him, because of proximity.

Two women tackled me on that thread like football even going as far as quoting scripture to justify their stance and why the guy was silly for turning down the job! Some Naija women like stress o!

Some stressful situations no doubt bring forth the best in us, like squeezing oranges to get the juice we enjoy BUT some are simply not worth it, they'll only create mental and physical health issues for you.

@ Topic, I am reminded of a neighbour who graduated from a Nigerian university but the school refused to issue a certificate because of change of name saga.

The details are fuzzy now but I vaguely recall it was a case of your name at Uni does not match the waec certificate you presented. Her mother divorced her step father and decided Mariam should revert to her original father's name and then yada yada yada. You sha get the picture.

4 years of her life in school just became wasted. She tried to fight/contest the issue but wasn't making headway. This kind of situation is enough to make you stick to one name alone throughout your life.

Even the banks give you a hard time when it comes to certain transactions, where your names are not adding up with data they have.

why you come here dey write long Epistles like say u belong among mannabbqgrillz

And what is your next line of action now??
