Nigerian media mogul and blogger Linda Ikeji has responded to criticism regarding her son’s surname.

Following backlash on Tuesday for giving her six-year-old son, Jayce, her surname, Linda shared a photo of Jayce and his cousin, Ryan, enjoying vacation.

However, fans took issue with the fact that she referred to Jayce with her last name in the caption.

In an Instagram story, Linda clarified that Jayce has always carried the Ikeji surname since birth.

She explained that she never had the intention nor the time to change it, emphasizing that the decision to keep or alter his surname will rest with Jayce when he is older.

Linda concluded by offering some advice to her “Junior colleagues.”

“Just to be clear.
I’ve never ever had to change my son’s surname. He’s been an Ikeji right from when he was born! Where do I have the time or patience to be changing names? Changing it and keeping his surname (Ikeji) will be up to him when he ages.

Food for my Junior colleagues”.

May be it was her brother that Impregnated her.


She looks old and faded off in that picture. Age always tell faster in women. I remember the time she was championing feminism amongst young Nigerian ladies just to come out from nowhere with a pregnancy 😁.

Corporate olosho everywhere

Slow news day.

The guy was just a sperm donor. Next.

I hope he doesn't end up like Akhimi

Does that change anything

E konsign her and her pikin

I don't even know why she's bothering to explain, she does not owe anyone any explanation!

This is one reason Igbo girls no dey quick see husband.

If she takes in for you while dating, the pikin go dey answer her father's surname even if you dey cater for all your child's need.

This tradition is too archaic.

What is the father's opinion. I mean where is the man when the mother is giving her last name to their son?

Your choice, your life. When I gets older and asks for his father, you go explain tire without evidence.

Good to remind us who you be, it has been long, ABI you too tinubu don press your neck
