“Any woman that is solely responsible for the upkeep of a child reserves the right to give the child whatever name she pleases” Lawyer says

A lawyer has said that a woman has the right to give her children whatever name she pleases if she is solely responsible for the child. Nwa Okpoko wrote on Facebook: “Any woman that is solely responsible for the upkeep of a child reserves the right to give the said child whatever name she pleases. You want a stake in your childs life, please step up. Till then, kindly shut up.”  This comes after a single mother sparked debate when she disclosed that she changed her children’s name to her last name after their biological father stopped taking care of them. The post “Any woman that is solely responsible for the upkeep of a child reserves the right to give the child whatever name she pleases” Lawyer says appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
