Bt actually dude, u are nt being African bt western cos its d culture of the western for the wife to bear her husband's surname. Its nt african at all. Its a borrowed culture from the West

coolhamid:
My wife tried to retain her Surname after our marriage but I showed her that am a full blooded African not half blooded African ....
We don't tolerate shit....

It's either you accept my surname as yours or we put an end to the marriage

MrsChima:


Just because you give her a ring and say I do doesn't mean she has to take your surname upon marriage. There is no law in it both land and scriptural.

africanusvu:
We ar talking of big men daughter not u,you can bear any name no problem

An2elect2:


It is not because you are African that you think that way, it is because you are more humane in your thoughts. That is how it is supposed to be.

If I just catch my wife doin dat eh, she will tell me who paid her bride price and hw many husbands she has.. Nonsense

Didn't your mother take only the husband name as surname? Why the sudden change in recent times? That's is what the OP is asking.

If it's not agreed by both parties, then it's not right. These are some of the 'little' issues that can cause marital conflicts. If you're married, you've left your Father and Mother, then you and your spouse are now one. Stop all these modern-day trends in marriages.

coolhamid:
Dude ,its African.... Our great grand mothers accepted our great grand father's surname during their days, Infact I don't know my mother's surname before she got married to my father...

A man must not to tolerate such thing from his woman... Once you start tolerating poo from them, they would take you for granted....

Its not a bad idea....i ll surely allow my wife to add her surname to my surname, a la 'hyphenated/double-barrelled' name.......i dont really like the idea of women completely replacing their surname with their husband's.its better they have a hyphenated surnames......eg mrs buhari-jonathan
