After marrying singer Mr Eazi, Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, has disclosed why she decided to adopt her husband’s name.
Temi recently told BBC Pidgin that her new status as a married lady was the reason behind the choice.
She underlined the value of personal choice and expressed her respect for women who decide to keep their maiden names.
Temi also discussed the importance of maintaining the privacy of her relationship so that she can create her own story and tell it when she’s ready.
“I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I also respect a woman’s ability to choose.
“Moving in silence allows you to build the story you want and share it when and how you’re ready,” she said.

Femi Otedola’s advice to Mr Eazi and Temi during their wedding reception has got a lot of people talking.

Otedola urged Temi to prioritise the marriage, advising her to “succumb to the whims and caprices of your husband.”
He also commended Mr Eazi, noting his entrepreneurial skills and predicting a bright future for the couple.
“You found a great guy, very great guy, blessed guy. He’s come from a very decent family. One thing I’ll advise you… you have to succumb to the whims and caprices of your husband. Okay? He’s your husband, he’s your boss. There’s no more dad, don’t call me up,” Otedola said.
He continued: “One thing I like about both of you and I’ve observed is, you’re truly in love with each other. Truly, truly in love with each other. Temi is an entrepreneur. Tosin is an entrepreneur. So you match each other.
“This is made in heaven. For Tosin, you’re going to go places. I’ve seen the entrepreneurial skill in you. When we were much younger, we used to think we used to hustle, but not like your generation. You are hustlers, real hustlers. And it’s always paid off. Continue to love, Temi.”
