"If your value is tied to your father’s name, you were never standing, you were leaning. Temi Otedola became Temi Ajibade not because she lost power, but because she understood covenant. Marriage isn’t a merger of brands. It’s a surrender of ego for the sake of unity."

"Otedola’s daughter changed her surname to that of her husband, and some women are already making it look like a misnomer for a lady with a reputable surname to change her surname to bear her husband’s surname which ain’t as reputable as her previous surname."
