Abdul-kabir is a compound name...

Abdulkabir is not a compound name

Hence the difference is clear

A friend whose name is Taye and was registered as Taiwo in his WAEC had to go swear affidavit during a job screening that he's the owner of the result. As far as they were concerned, the names are different even as they mean the same thing in Yoruba language.
Just go swear an affidavit to save stress.

Ma'am,the gist is that the one with the hyphen is to be attributed to my o-level certificate and birth certificate,and the one without that is registered on my Utme and Post- Utme,and i'm really worried if UI does accept affidavit during physical clearance.

The problem is not 'swearing an affidavit',rather,the problem is that the hyphenated one is on my birth certificate and o-level result and the other one was used during utme and post utme registration.It's complicated,isn't it?and i don't know if the institution does accept affidavit?i fear that the clearance process will be jeopardize?
