Wednesday, April 9, 2025 - A woman on X has reacted to the opinion that a child is from the father's place, not the father and mother's place of origin.
She shared that she saw herself as Yoruba and her name
reflected this.
However, when her school singled her to represent the school
in an event, the state refused to accept her as a representative because they
discovered her mother is Igbo.
She said the eventually chose a student from a different
South West State to represent the school, rather than choose her whose father
is from the state hosting the event.
She explained that the incident made her change her middle
name to an Igbo name to reflect her heritage.
She concluded her post, writing: "I'm only family to those who see me as family."
