Love the new poltical board, much clearer, can you do the same with the comments

the comments are not well organised, it would be nice if you could organise the comments just as the political board.

afam4eva: She can be given a new Yoruba name but it should never replace her original name. That's madness. That's probably the only thing left of her Igboness.

What are you talking about Afam. The husband never tried to replace her name in her birth certificate or something, I am sure he only called her Sinmisola because he loves her not because he wants to change her first name.

Would her ID card read Sinmisola or Ndidi ? Of course Ndidi

The OP is just a tribalist that reads meaning into things and she does not deserve a marriage because A MAN AND A WOMAN LIVE THEIR PARENTS HOUSES TO FORM ONE FAMILY.

She should call him Emeka as well and it should be expected they both laugh about it.

KINGwax: you're an id¡ot, and so inexplicably senseless for a married woman. Your age should be like 21yrs or so.
'this is why u love nairaland'? For bigotry and tribalistic reasons abi? You think nairaland will fix your childish marriage if their stup¡d ideas finally break it?
You knw? I've seen natured people post real problems and sensible people has helped them solve serious marital issues with helpful responses.
But here, u exposed d stup¡dity and immaturity in your senses by bringing this kind of issues on board wit no real sense of solution. You're a waste

Thank you, in the world today, we have too many da.ft people living among humans.

I can really imagine calling my wife Halinat and she makes it a big deal

Knowing how insecure her people her, she then decided to bring it on nairaland.

@ OP

If you cannot get over something as silly as this, then my advice for you is to break your marriage because you have already suspected your husband to be a tribalist like you.

Break it and go tell your people that you broke your home because he called you Sinmisola rather than Ndidi. Aturu ewu

afam4eva: This is one of the reasons why i don't like Igbo ladies marrying from outside Igboland. They go never to come back. They lose their identity, Igboness and all the characteristics that comes with being Ada-Igbo.

@OP
I think you married a tribalist who likes you but hates your heritage. You should never change Ndidi for anything in the world. Next time he calls you Simisola call him Okogwu. By the time this goes on for some days he will cease to call you such.

It is a shame that even you are talking like an Illiterate.

When the white people came, you easily adopted Allison, John etc what is wrong in adopting your husbands heritage ?

A Yoruba woman married to an Igbo man from Anambra is called Chioma today because that is what her husband wanted and she accepted it. Why can't they just laugh about something as trivial as this ?

What a shame, OP you no like am, break up you marriage then rather than share your happy marriage fun afire out for the world to see.

BTW was not that Asari Dokubo that said SS/SE/MB, thus no SW so what is the problem here no that we care but what exactly is the issue

Beaf: ^
Dude, you are such a pathetic fool.
Is Ohaneze a governor or representative of a political party?

Go graze with cows. Your mates ain't here.

You are a goat which is worse, an ordinary governor of a state or a whole social-cultural group.

You sir are da.ft. When did Aregbosola become a representative of ACN ? Goat or maybe you missed the Ooni part of the article.

Moreover, what do you expect Ooni to do ? Chase them away ? you think we are animals like you ?

fellis: I noticed that the yoruba people are the ones saying she should accept the name. . . . . . .

It is not only yoruba people but intelligent sensible people would advice her the same. She call him Chukwuemeka as well. It is a marrage for crying out loud not a girlfriend thing.

You people are hypocritess

@ OP

I pity you,

Beaf: Then tell Aregbesola to burn his rusty flag and to stop chatting shiit.
Aside from that, he should stop sinking the SW with his foolish courting of the core-North that the entire Middle Belt and South have rejected; if not Oodua republic will become a prison that oppresses those who should be benefitting. There are easy ways to make indelible enemies, the easiest being to cosy up to opressors and parasites like a puzzy.

So what are you saying ? If the Sultan want to talk, they should not allow him ?

Did northern representatives not visit Ohaneze just last week ? Why did you not chase them away. you bigoted mumu.

Who have rejected who ? You must be dreaming

akpanbaba: My sister use your head and watch out because some of your advisers are waiting for your husband to throw you out and they will gladly change their names to Sinmisola just to marry him.Shine your eyes well well.

good afdvice and I hope the OP listens to you

Ndidi, Listen to your husband. It is a sign of acceptance, you are not the first person to change the first name and you would not be the last. I am sure you would be quick if he called you "Jolie", "Natasha" etc you would even accept "Christian Names" but cannot accept Sinmisola which is a beautiful name IMO.

Do not let tribailism and pettiness destroy your home. I am Muslim but is it not your Bible that says A man and a WOMAN would leave their parents house and become one . From the day you married him, you have to drop your Igbo identity, From the day he married you should have dropped his Yoruba Identity.

If he calls you Sinmisola, then call him Emeka etc and you should both laugh about it and be happy. Call him Emeka infront of your own parent as well. That is love, that is a marriage.

You feeling uncomfortable because he called you sinmisola is a bit da.ft and childish on your part, even worse you brought the topic to Nairaland like it is an issue worth talking about.

Call him Chukwuemeka and let him call you Sinmisola and laugh about it and you should both be happy you call yourselves that. That is what a marriage is, where you become ONE. Not Igbo and Yoruba.

Such pettiness.
