Why I dropped my father's name – Temi Otedola




Temi Otedola, the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has revealed why she chose to take her husband’s name after marrying singer Mr Eazi.

In a recent interview with BBC Pidgin, Temi explained that the decision was driven by her new status as a married woman.

She emphasised her respect for women who choose to maintain their maiden names, highlighting the importance of individual choice.

Temi also spoke about the value of keeping her relationship private, allowing her to build her own narrative and share it when she’s ready.

“Moving in silence allows you to build the story you want and share it when and how you’re ready,” she said.

This approach, Temi said, enables her to maintain control over her story and avoid external pressures.

Their romantic journey began with a civil ceremony in Monaco, followed by a traditional Yoruba wedding in Dubai, and culminated in a white wedding in Iceland’s picturesque landscapes. (THE NATION)
