Funnily enough, my mother's maiden name and my surname name are the same.

I usually get strange looks and quick correction from people filling in my data. When they try to explain the difference between maiden name and surname, I will be like oga/madam I know grin

It's a security question.

However in this world, the only thing we are sure of is who your mother is, we aren't sure that the man you call your father is your biological father....
What if them switch you for hospital? See we no sure of anything

Since it's a security question just like a password, they need a question only you can remember the answer

Your Mother's Surname before marrying your father is a name you know personally but most of your friends and colleagues don't know

Most people knows your mum as , Mummy Yemi, Mrs (your father's Surname),

It's a question people ask you, should they decide to go the village-way for you.

Its the least security question anyone can guess an answer to in case of a brute force attack on your profile online.

You can't even be sure of that. What if the baby was switched, unintentionally, at birth?

Someone will still come now and ask " how come they don't ask for father's maiden name grin grin grin ;

Your mother's maiden name isn't always a security question. Sometimes, it's for a more unique identity. The likelihood of someone having your first name, middle name, surname and mother's maiden name is almost zero.
