Nigerian Lady offers her points on the notion of men assuming their wives’ surnames, providing a variety of arguments to support this unconventional idea.
In a popular video, she highlights a biblical instruction for a man to depart from his parents and unite with his wife, which she perceives as relinquishing all ties to his parents, including his surname.
As a result, she proposes that a man should take his wife’s last name rather than the traditional practice.
She asserts that this reasoning supports the notion of men adopting their wives' surnames instead of the traditional approach, yet this idea is rarely debated due to its incongruence with typical male-centric viewpoints.
While stating her personal choice not to change her surname, she acknowledges that women who choose to adopt their husbands’ last names are free to do so.
She states;
“According to the Bible, a man is supposed to take his wife's last name, not the other way round”.
