Temi Otedola changed her name on social media to reflect her new status as wife to singer, Mr Eazi.

In a Facebook post, the lady, identified as Lolo Nneka Obani, said after marriage, she will keep her surname.

"Even if Bill Gates daughter discards her surname & picks her husband's name as her last name, I Nneka will not take anyone's last name, if I suddenly wake up one morning & realize that I do not like my surname again, I will add my other Igbo name Ugochinyere as my last name. Otedola's daughter is not the standard. No one is the standard. Individual differences, individual choices, individual preferences. So stop the noise."

She's not the first person to do so and she won't be the last person to do so. Everyone with their choices."
