This is normal in Ibo culture.
Chioma will soon do this to Davido’s son .If he refuses to pay her bride price and marry her properly.

Popular Celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji has recently changed the surname of her son Jayce from her baby daddy’s name Jeremi to that of her own father Ikeji as she celebrates him on his birthday.



Linda Ikeji for some reason changed the surname of her son Jayce to Ikeji taking the identity of his father Jeremi from it and even changed it in his Instagram bio and we wonder why.

For reasons best known to her, Linda Ikeji changed the surname of her son, Jayce to Ikeji, removing the identity of his father Jeremi from it and even changed it in his Instagram bio and we wonder why.

Some possible reasons why most women give their father's surname to their kids could be when the father of their kids doesn't take responsibility and do what they are expected to do as fathers or sometimes the mothers just feel like based on privacy issues.

But in the case of Linda Ikeji, we believe something might be wrong somewhere because she was using the baby daddy's name Jeremi for her son, Jayce but then has changed it all of a sudden which means something might have gone wrong somewhere and we are yet to discover it.

Linda Ikeji hardly talks about her baby daddy and now is trying to delete his identity from the life of her son Jayce by giving him her father’s surname meaning she doesn’t want to have anything do with him again until whatever be the reason is solved.

The poor boy is going to be the one who will suffer the most in all this drama since he would have to live his life without his father now that his mother is trying to cut him off in their lives.

According to tradition, that boy was never meant to bear the father's name because hlthe father didnt marry the mother neither did he acknowledge him as a son.

Onyi22:
Wise woman

How? Is the child a bastard or is it another land grabbing by association of feminists!

Kondomatic:
Before you conclude that people's decisions is unwise, find out the reason behind it.


Linda is unmarried so the child belongs to her father. That's their culture.

You are right.

pharmagba:
Thought she was smart
This one not a smart call.

One day whether she likes it or not the boy will ask for his father
You can never make a child hate or forget this parent . It will always boils down to the child decision

Not so easy bro.

That simply was the right thing going by the tradition of her people. She probably had been expecting the man to marry her and he failed. The child will bear the mother's surname for now.

In the future if the father wants the child to bear his name or the boy wants to return to his father's people, there is a traditional process.

I am sure there is no hatred intended. If he was man enough to "give her belle", he should be man enough to marry her.

BeeBeeOoh:
In 20-years to come if she doesn't show Jayce who his father is peacefully, she will do that forcefully.


Linda Ikeji should know this and know peace

Which father? The one that rejected him? This is not nollywood.

lol welcome to the gang little one... where our parents change our names at will... sad one

Ahmed0336:

Seconded

You only see one part of the story and you've already concluded the child's father is not responsible..

Maybe you've forgotten that Linda is a feminist.

NiceMen:
Well, since the guy that she had the child for no send her, what do you expect? The man does not want to have anything to with Linda. Na she force herself on the guy because he is somewhat rich.

And your consider a lady who owns and lives in her own property in Banana island poor?

Y is she bleaching him? Is it necessary??

godofuck231:
that how a woman thinks first when on a war party , the destroy if the father isn’t showing concern towards the child’s welfare instead of bastardize the child the mother should wait till he’s of age to go find his father , bully then he would be more reasonable and wide to see his mistakes ,and heal the crises , now she has made a disaster of the mess already on ground

No Igbo child abandoned by his father cared for by his mother and mother's family grows up to go find a dead beat father.
He becomes a distant discussion
It is the job of a father to be in his children's lives and if he chooses to be absent that is his choice.
Impregnating a woman doesn't make one a father. It just makes you a fertile male

Matheusmartin:
.
Na her Papa get sperm?

Na you for get am?

NaBanga:
She did right by her son. The father does not want to take up the responsibility. I have heard the father is also married with a family abroad. After all the media proclamations and appeals to big men, the Jeremi family does not acknowledge this child. The father does not want the boy. So to legitimize her child in society, Linda is giving her child a legitimate name and tie to a family.

Who told you the father does not want the boy or Jeremi's family does not acknowledge the boy?

You've already concluded based on one sided story.

Or you don't know Linda is a feminist who hates men.

This is for you non Igbos dating Igbo girls.
Hear this now
If you dont marry her legitimately any child you have will belong to her family.
That is our culture
If you go and acquire mistresses and extra wives and abandon your responsibility even the children you had with her may revert to her family.
If you want to play hanky panky please don't cross the Niger to find wife.
The kids won't even want to associate with you.
An Igbo man when he receives his abused daughter back from a failed marriage receives the kids too

She will learn the hard way.

Never you estrange a child from his/her father and cover it with lies/ half-truths. When they come of age and find out the truth, they will hate you.
This has happened time and time again.

Little lastard

This your post be like exam question wey olodo dey answer…. so much repeated statements just to make it look much

Olodo bloggers

This is nonsense.

What do you mean by forcefully?

You think a good child will want to know a bad father?

Cantonese:


And your consider a lady who owns and lives in her own property in Banana island poor?

The guy no wise

Iyaebe:
I support her decision, why attach a name to a boy whose father doesn't want to be part of his life?Fatherhood is far more than ejaculation,nothing bad in her decision at all.

but the man never legally married her before na!

Linda used to go his house to collect cookies

I don’t see anything wrong with what she did. If her own father is more of a father to the boy than his biological father, why not. If I were her, I’ll change his name too.

madridsta007:

Never you estrange a child from his/her father. When they come of age, they will hate you.

And if the father has been absent?

Talking from experience: his father will still need him someday no matter how long it takes!

.

The DNA determined that the said man was not the father, hence Ikeji.....

Reading through the comments I see yorubas call people bastards and so they hang on to dead beats and drunkards and abusive fathers and rapists so they can point to them as father
We delete such men from our memory as Igbos
Some don't even get a mention on the birth certifcate sef

I knew it.....I was expecting to see something like this....

She will not be there to fight for him when his mates call him a bastard but anyways things like that will turn him into a man quicker and God always makes children like that successful in future because it’s no fault of theirs
