Nigerian media mogul and blogger Linda Ikeji has issued a clarification over her son’s change of name.
On Tuesday, Linda was heavily dragged for giving her son, Jayce, her surname. The mother-of-one had shared an image of her six-year-old son and that of his cousin, Ryan, who is almost the same age as him on vacation.
The blogger intended for a sweet post and caption about the kids’ vacation, but fans swiftly turned things around after they noticed in her caption that she referred to her son with her last name.
Now speaking out via her Instagram story, Linda said she changed her son’s surname as he has always been an Ikeji from birth. She questioned whether she had the time or patience to change names as she made it known that the decision to retain his surname when he is older lies in his hands.
“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”.
